DM-CB10 M8 4-Pin Field-Attachable Connector

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:26 +0000

Overview

The DM-CB10 lets a maintenance technician build or repair a sensor cable on site with a screwdriver and no special tooling. The housing unscrews, the conductors go into screw terminals, and the seal insert grips the cable jacket as the body is reassembled.

It is a repair part, not a production part. For machines leaving the factory, an overmoulded cordset is more consistent because the seal is formed under controlled conditions. For a cable damaged at 2 a.m. on a running line, the field-attachable connector is what gets the machine back.

Key features

M8 A-coded, 4-pin, screw terminal connection
Reusable housing with replaceable seal insert
Cable range 3.5-5.5 mm
IP67 in the mated and correctly assembled condition
2 A per contact, 30 V AC/DC
No crimping tool required

Typical applications

On-site repair of damaged sensor cables
Short custom cable runs in prototype machines
Spare-part stock for maintenance cribs
Temporary instrumentation during commissioning

Assembly note

Strip 20 mm of jacket and 4 mm of insulation, keep the strand twist intact, and tighten each terminal firmly without cutting strands. Check continuity pin to pin and confirm the seal insert matches the cable diameter before the connector goes into service.

DM-CJ08 8-Port M12 Junction Box, IP67

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:25 +0000

Overview

The DM-CJ08 collects eight sensor cables into one multi-core home run, which reduces the number of cables entering a cabinet from eight to one and makes a machine section easier to isolate and service. Each port has an LED so a technician can see the signal state without opening the box.

The housing is PBT with a gasket and stainless screws, rated IP67 in the mated condition. Ports are 3, 4 or 5-pin M12, and the home run is a fixed 5 m or 10 m cable with a connector or flying leads.

Key features

8 x M12 ports, 3/4/5-pin configuration
Single home-run cable to the cabinet
Per-port LED indication
IP67 PBT housing with stainless fasteners
2 A per port, 30 V AC/DC
Optional stainless housing for washdown and chemical areas

Typical applications

Sensor clusters on conveyor sections
End-effector and gripper wiring consolidation
Pump station instrument collection
Machine sections with frequent changeover

Selection note

A passive box carries the signals only; it does not condition or isolate them. If the sensors are far from the cabinet or the environment is electrically noisy, use a master with per-port diagnostics, or add an isolating conditioner at the cabinet end.

DM-CB05 M12 5-Pin Shielded Sensor Cable, 5 m PUR

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:24 +0000

Overview

The DM-CB05 is an overmoulded five-pin cordset for standard sensor connections. The moulded body seals the conductor entry permanently, which removes the gland that is responsible for most water ingress in field-wired connectors, and the PUR jacket resists coolant, oil and repeated flexing.

Shielding is included as standard, because the cost difference against unshielded cable is small and the benefit in any panel with a drive is large. The shield is bonded to the coupling nut so it terminates at the sensor housing and at the panel gland.

Key features

M12 A-coded, 5-pin, straight or 90° angled
Shielded construction with braid coverage over 85%
PUR jacket resistant to coolant, oil and UV
IP69K in the mated condition
2 A per contact, 30 V AC/DC rated
Available in 0.3, 2, 5 and 10 m lengths from stock

Typical applications

Sensor and actuator connections on machine tools
Washdown areas in food and beverage plants
Gripper and end-effector wiring
IO-Link device connections at 230 kbit/s

Installation note

Tighten the coupling nut by hand and then a quarter turn; over-tightening distorts the seal and under-tightening lets water in. Respect the bend radius at the connector body, because the failure point on a moulded cordset is where the cable leaves the moulding.

DM-SC08 8-Port IO-Link Master, IP67

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:23 +0000

Overview

The DM-SC08 brings eight IO-Link sensors onto an industrial Ethernet network from a field-mounted box, removing the need to run individual analogue or discrete cables back to the cabinet. Each port is class A, so standard three-wire sensor cable works, and the master stores the parameter set for every connected device.

Parameter storage is the feature that changes maintenance. When a sensor is replaced, the master writes the stored parameters into the new device automatically, so a technician does not need a laptop, a configuration file or a recipe sheet at the machine.

Key features

Eight IO-Link class A ports, IO-Link 1.1
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP uplink
Automatic parameter storage and device replacement
IP67 die-cast housing for direct machine mounting
Per-port current monitoring and short-circuit diagnostics
M12 A-coded ports, 2 A per port

Typical applications

Smart sensor clusters on assembly stations
Gripper and end-effector sensor integration
Retrofit of analogue sensors with IO-Link converters
Diagnostics access on guarded or hidden sensors

Network note

IO-Link runs at 230.4 kbit/s over an unshielded three-wire cable up to 20 m. Keep the cable away from drive output cables and use the master’s port diagnostics to confirm the signal quality before commissioning the line.

DM-PM08 Weld-Immune M8 Proximity Sensor, PTFE Face

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:19 +0000

Overview

The DM-PM08 is built for two conditions that destroy ordinary proximity sensors: weld spatter and welding current. The sensing face is PTFE, so spatter does not adhere and the face does not pit, and the oscillator circuit is designed to ignore the magnetic field generated by several thousand amps of welding current passing a few centimetres away.

At 15 g and 30 mm long, it fits into gripper jaws and clamp bodies where an M12 sensor would not go. The 2 mm sensing distance is enough for a typical clamp position with a machined target and a repeatable mechanical stop.

Key features

PTFE sensing face resistant to weld spatter adhesion
Weld-field immune oscillator circuit
2 mm flush sensing distance in an M8 x 1 barrel
PNP NO output, 100 mA, IP67
PUR cable tail 2 m or M8 connector version
15 g mass, suitable for moving end effectors

Typical applications

Body-shop clamp and locator position
Spot-welding gun and robot wrist confirmation
Gripper jaw part presence
Tool-changer position feedback

Installation note

Mount at least one sensing distance from the weld current path, route the cable away from the welding leads, and use a bracket that shields the face from direct spatter. The sensor resists spatter, but a bracket that keeps it out of the stream lasts longer.

DM-PC18 M18 Capacitive Proximity Sensor, 8 mm, IO-Link

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:19 +0000

Overview

The DM-PC18 detects what an inductive sensor cannot: plastic containers, glass bottles, cardboard, wood and bulk material. The sensing field is capacitive, so any material with a dielectric constant above about 1.5 will trigger it, and the sensitivity potentiometer or IO-Link parameter sets the threshold for the specific product.

The IO-Link version matters on lines with frequent product changes. Instead of an operator adjusting a potentiometer behind a guard, the switching threshold and the output logic are stored in the recipe and downloaded over IO-Link when the product changes.

Key features

8 mm adjustable sensing distance, non-flush mountable
Detects plastics, glass, wood, paper and liquids
IO-Link 1.1 parameterisation plus PNP switching output
Sensitivity adjustment by potentiometer or IO-Link
IP67 PBT housing with M12 connector
Switching frequency 100 Hz, suited to presence detection

Typical applications

Bottle, cap and label presence on filling lines
Level detection through a plastic tank wall
Cardboard and wood board detection in packaging
Product changeover with recipe-based thresholds

Application note

Capacitive sensors are affected by humidity and by product residue on the face. Mount them where the face stays clear, and use IO-Link diagnostics to detect a threshold that is drifting before it causes a missed detection.

DM-PX12 M12 Inductive Proximity Sensor, 4 mm, IP69K

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:18 +0000

Overview

The DM-PX12 is the workhorse of the range: an M12 barrel sensor in a 304 stainless housing, flush mountable, with a 4 mm sensing distance on mild steel. The oscillator, output stage and protection circuitry are potted into the barrel, so vibration and moisture have nothing to work loose.

The IP69K rating applies to the sensor and its connector together, which is why the M12 connector version is specified for washdown areas rather than a cable tail with a gland. Output is PNP normally open, with NPN and two-wire versions available in the same housing.

Key features

4 mm flush sensing distance on mild steel, 2 mm on stainless
PNP NO output, 200 mA, short-circuit and reverse-polarity protected
IP69K with an IP69K cordset fitted
1 kHz switching frequency, 10-30 VDC supply
304 stainless barrel, -25 to +70 °C ambient
LED indication visible from three sides

Typical applications

Clamp, slide and end-stop position on machine tools
Part presence on conveyors and transfer stations
Gripper and tool-changer confirmation
Door and guard position on washdown equipment

Mounting note

Flush mountable sensors can be embedded in metal without a free zone, but leave at least one sensing distance between two adjacent sensors to avoid mutual interference. On aluminium or stainless targets, expect the sensing distance to fall by 30-50% and specify an extended-range model if the gap is tight.

DM-FT80 Turbine Flow Meter, 1/2″-2″

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:15 +0000

Overview

The DM-FT80 is a small-line turbine meter for clean, low-viscosity liquids: fuels, solvents, water, glycol and light oils. A free-running rotor turns in proportion to flow, and a Hall-effect sensor picks up the blade passage without contact, so there is no wear element in the signal path and the pulse output drops straight into a totaliser or PLC counter.

The body is 316L stainless with a tungsten carbide shaft and a sapphire bearing on the standard version, which keeps the calibration stable in clean service. Each meter is wet-calibrated, and the K factor is marked on the body and stored in the electronics where a display version is fitted.

Key features

±0.5% of reading over the calibrated range, 10:1 turndown
1/2″ to 2″ line sizes, BSP or NPT connections
Tungsten carbide shaft and sapphire bearing
Pulse, 4-20 mA and local totaliser options
Wet-calibrated with the K factor marked on the housing
-20 to +120 °C media temperature, 40 bar rating

Typical applications

Diesel, kerosene and lubricant dispensing
Coolant and glycol filling on assembly lines
Chemical dosing and batch totalising
Test rig fuel consumption measurement

Application limits

A turbine meter needs clean liquid. Grit, fibres or crystallising media will wear or seize the rotor, and the calibration will drift without any alarm. If the media is not clean, use an electromagnetic or clamp-on ultrasonic meter instead, even at a higher cost.

DM-TI300 Infrared Pyrometer, 0-1,200 °C

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:14 +0000

Overview

The DM-TI300 measures surface temperature without touching the target, which is the only practical option for moving webs, rotating rollers, molten material and anything inside a sealed process. The 8-14 µm spectral band suits most non-metallic surfaces and avoids the short-wavelength interference from daylight and hot ambient air.

Emissivity is adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00, and the response time can be set between 100 ms and 10 s to average out a moving target. Outputs are 4-20 mA and RS485 Modbus, with a laser sighting beam for alignment and a through-lens or fixed-focus optic depending on the working distance.

Key features

0-1,200 °C range, 8-14 µm spectral response
Distance-to-spot ratio 20:1 with laser sighting
Adjustable emissivity 0.10-1.00 and response time 100 ms-10 s
4-20 mA and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs
Stainless housing with air purge collar for dusty environments
IP65 with water cooling jacket option for ambient above 70 °C

Typical applications

Film and sheet extrusion temperature
Preform and bottle blowing temperature
Sealing bar and laminating roller temperature
Molten metal and glass surface temperature

Getting a trustworthy reading

Non-contact measurement is an optical measurement. Spot size at the working distance must be smaller than the target, the sighting must avoid background heat sources, and the emissivity must match the material. Expect to verify the reading against a contact probe once during commissioning, then treat that emissivity value as part of the recipe.

DM-PS500 Compact Pressure Switch, 0.5-10 bar

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:11 +0000

Overview

The DM-PS500 is a mechanical pressure switch for interlock and alarm duty where a continuous analogue signal is not needed. A stainless diaphragm acts on a snap-action microswitch, so the contact changes state decisively at the set point with no chatter at the threshold, which matters when the switch drives a contactor or a PLC input.

The set point is adjusted by a screw under the protective cap and the differential is fixed at 15% of the set point. The body is stainless steel with a G1/4 process connection and an IP67 housing, and the electrical connection is a DIN 43650 valve connector that keeps the terminal block sealed.

Key features

Adjustable set point 0.5-10 bar, fixed hysteresis 15% of set point
SPDT snap-action contact rated 5 A at 250 VAC
Stainless steel body and diaphragm, G1/4 process connection
DIN 43650 connector with IP67 protection
No supply voltage required, suitable for pure interlock circuits
Repeatability within 2% of set point over 100,000 cycles

Typical applications

Pump start and stop on pressure
Compressor low-pressure and high-pressure interlock
Filter clogging alarm
Machine guard and pneumatic clamp confirmation

When to use a switch instead of a transmitter

If the control system only needs a discrete signal at a threshold, a mechanical switch removes the analogue input card, the scaling and the calibration interval. If the threshold will change with product or season, a transmitter with a configurable set point is the better long-term choice.
