4-20MA OUTPUTS FOR PLC
Most custom tension link applications come with internal 4-20mA amplifiers and are factory calibrated in our state-of-art high capacity tension tester using NIST traceable reference load.
IP68 SEALING WITH MOLDED MILITARY CONNECT
To withstand extreme operating conditions, many custom tension links include IP68 o-ring sealing with IP68 cable relief glands and cables terminated with molded Amphenol connectors.
WIRELESS TO PLC
Custom tension links can be fitted with internal or external 2.4Ghz transmitters with wireless receivers providing 4-20mA outputs direct to the PLC.
