Printing Machine Power Connectors and Cable Sets

Printing presses depend on many coordinated drives, so a single poor connection can bring the whole line to a halt and produce a lot of waste in the process. AP Technology supplies printing machine power connectors, together with cable sets built to suit the machine. They are used on web presses, finishing lines and converting machinery. Buying connectors and cable as a tested set can simplify spares holding as well, because maintenance teams can keep a known good part on the shelf, ready to swap. The power connector range AP Technology distributes comes from Intercontec, now part of TE Connectivity, and covers M17, M23, M40 and M58 sizes. Voltage ratings run up to 630V and currents up to 200A, dependent on continuous operation, with capacity for conductors up to 50mm². These connectors are used to feed motors, spindle drives and servo motors, and they are built to cope with vibration, sudden shock, heat, cold, moisture, dust and dirt. For especially harsh and aggressive conditions, such as chemical and food processing, the M23 316L range swaps brass for 1.4404 grade stainless steel.

It is offered in 6, 8 and 9 contact arrangements rated up to 30A, with crimp or solder contacts and a threaded coupling. AP Technology holds an in-depth UK stock profile of M17, M23, M40 and M58 connectors, so most requirements do not start with a long wait. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account.
