Belden PowerCinch modular power distribution system

Belden has introduced PowerCinch, a modular power distribution and motor control connection system for machinery applications that has been developed under the Lumberg Automation brand.

Recent revisions to electrical standards opened the door to a practical alternative to hard-wired power distribution and motor control within industrial machinery and coordination of multiple machines. The PowerCinch product line is a pluggable quick-disconnect modular wiring system that includes a series of cordsets, t-taps, inline reducers, receptacles, locking clips and closure caps. The system is designed to bring a flexible, yet cost-effective power routing and sourcing alternative to machine builders, system integrators and users of industrial machines.

The PowerCinch rugged trunk and drop cordsets include over-moulded trunk cables for feeder circuits up to 25 A, 600 VAC and cables for branch circuits up to 15 A, 600 VAC. The cables provide for the installation of a trunk/feeder line along the machine’s structure or by daisy-chaining multiple machines and providing drops/branches for convenient access as required.

Receptacles offer a quick-connect interface to the device or cabinet and are suitable for installation on motors and drives to serve as a termination point.

Re-usable locking clips snap over the outside of the trunk/feeder or drop/branch connection point, providing a sense of security to the connection points within the PowerCinch wiring system.

For unused connection/stop points, closure caps are used to maintain the sealing integrity of the system, while providing the flexibility for system expansion.
