Cable protection
20 March 2014
HBM has developed cables made from thermoplastic elastomers to provide a high level of protection against weather and rodents.
The cables are available on reels for easier installation and flexibility when constructing outdoor installations of weighing systems.
Outdoor weighing applications demand cables featuring sturdiness and long-term stability. HBM's latest thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) cables are said to provide high levels of mechanical protection when compared with PVC cables. The CAB1M variant features metal braid as an additional deterrent from rodents.
The use of TPE cables eliminates the need for special cable protection pipes while ensuring high system safety and reliability.
HBM also provides suitable installation material for a range of its products such as the C16 and HLC load cells, weighing modules C16/M and HLC/M and the WE2107 weighing electronics that complement the TPE cables for outdoor weighing applications.
