FLEMINGTON, N.J. – Altech Corp.® is proud to introduce a line of products that are designed for use in potentially explosive environments. Since 2003 the ATEX directive protects employees from explosion risk in areas with an explosive atmosphere.
Altech ATEX polyamide strain reliefs are available with NPT threads (3/8” to 1”) or metric threads (M12 to M63). The trapezoidal threads contribute high torque for a tight and permanent fit of the dome nut. Wide clamping ranges (from 2.5-6.5mm to 35-48mm, depending on type) ensure maximum strain relief in service.
Products with the European ATEX approval are engineered to the strictest of standards and approved for use when operating conditions have the possibility to ignite. Potentially explosive environments can be found in factories, plants, mines or mills and often require special components designed to prevent conditions in which an explosion could occur.
Altech’s ATEX products include: enclosures (aluminum and polyester), strain reliefs, safety switches (snap-action, position series ENM2 and GC, rope pull SD, foot series, and belt alignment switches), sensors (NAMUR and inductive), and DIN rail terminal blocks.
Customers in need of ATEX products will find that Altech’s line encompasses a wide range of adaptability for a variety of applications. The products can accommodate varying voltage and temperature ranges, colors, strength and resistance requirements, switching frequencies, and much more.
