Component Specifications

Definition
An End Connector is a precision-engineered component designed to securely attach and terminate cables, hoses, or tubing to moving parts of machinery, such as cable carriers or hose carriers. It ensures reliable transmission of power, signals, fluids, or data while accommodating dynamic motion, preventing strain, and maintaining alignment in industrial automation applications.
Working Principle
The End Connector functions by providing a rigid, secure mounting interface between flexible cables/hoses and moving machine components. It distributes mechanical stress, prevents bending beyond minimum radius limits, and maintains proper alignment during linear or multi-axis motion. Typically attaches via bolts, clamps, or integrated mounting features to carrier ends.
Materials
Typically aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) for lightweight strength, stainless steel (e.g., 304/316) for corrosion resistance, or engineered plastics (e.g., PA6, POM) for electrical insulation and reduced weight. Seals/gaskets often from EPDM or silicone.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP65/IP67
  • Mounting Type Bolted, Clamp, Integrated
  • Bending Radius As per carrier specification
  • Max Load Capacity 50-200 N
  • Temperature Range -40°C to +120°C
  • Compatible Carrier Sizes Series 10, 20, 30, etc.
Standards
ISO 12100, DIN 43694
