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-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-MR10 Miniature Rotary Actuator, 10 N·m

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:22 +0000

Overview

The DM-MR10 provides controlled rotation in a package small enough to mount directly on a valve stem or a shutter shaft. A brushless motor drives through a low-backlash planetary stage, and an absolute encoder reports position over RS485 without a homing cycle at power-up.

The absolute encoder is the practical difference in valve and damper applications: after a power loss the actuator knows where it is and moves to the commanded position without driving the mechanism against a stop. Torque is limited electronically, so a jammed valve stalls the actuator instead of damaging it.

Key features

10 N·m continuous torque, 25 N·m peak
0.05° repeatability with absolute encoder feedback
RS485 Modbus control, optional 0-10 V or 4-20 mA
Electronic torque limiting and stall detection
Manual override hex on the output shaft
IP65 housing, -10 to +60 °C operating range

Typical applications

Quarter-turn valve and damper actuation
Optical shutter and filter wheel indexing
Rotary indexing tables in assembly machines
Adjustable orifice and louvre control

Sizing note

Size on the running torque plus a 50% margin for breakaway and fouling, not on the nameplate torque alone. A valve that has not moved for six months needs more torque to break away than the datasheet friction figure suggests.

DM-MA25 Linear Micro Actuator, 25 mm Stroke, 80 N

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:20 +0000

Overview

The DM-MA25 converts rotary motor motion into precise linear travel through a preloaded ball screw and a crossed-roller guide. The preload removes the axial play that makes a cheap screw drive lose position when the load direction reverses, which is the difference between a 1 µm resolution specification and a 1 µm resolution that holds.

The stepper motor with an integrated 1,000 line encoder gives closed-loop position control, so a missed step is corrected rather than accumulated. Limit switches at both ends protect the mechanism during homing, and the whole assembly is 25 mm wide, which fits inside a gripper body.

Key features

25 mm stroke, 80 N continuous force, 200 N peak
1 µm resolution with closed-loop encoder feedback
Preloaded ball screw and crossed-roller guide, no backlash
Integrated end-of-travel limit switches
Step/direction, 0-10 V or RS485 control interface
Anodised aluminium body, 25 mm wide, 420 g

Typical applications

Gripper jaw adjustment for product changeover
Fixture and stop positioning
Probe and sensor fine positioning
Dosing syringe and valve actuation

Application note

Resolution is not accuracy. Mount the actuator on a flat, stiff surface; a flexing bracket will show up as position error at the tool. If the application needs sub-micron holding, add a piezo fine stage rather than asking a screw drive to do both jobs.

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-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.
