Smartclick Oil-resistant Connectors with Improved Oil Resistance

No Cutting Oil Ingress by Any Path The Strongest Material Cables with Fluororesin Sheaths

The results of a thorough analysis of the ingress paths of cutting oil show that the deterioration of cable sheaths is a large factor. The cable sheaths of OMRON’s Oil-resistant Components are made from fluororesin materials to provide maximum protection against the deterioration with a unique new concept. The result is an oil resistance impregnable to even highly aggressive cutting oils.

Fluororesin Blocks Ingress from Cables

[Patent Pending] Fluororesin Outer Cable Sheath

Fluororesin, which provides superior resistance to corrosion, is used for the outer cable sheath to suppress cable swelling and deterioration and prevent the ingress of cutting oil to the PCB section.

*The Strongest Material: Based on June 2016 OMRON investigation.

No Cutting Oil Ingress by Any Path Advanced Sealing Method

In addition to cable sheaths, joints, and moving sections, cutting oil enters most easily in gaps between different materials. OMRON’ s Oil-resistant Components completely block the ingress of cutting oil with a state-of-the-art sealing method that does not allow the creation of gaps.

Ingress through Cable Joints Is Blocked with a State-of-the-art Sealing Method

Forming and Sealing Method + Surface Bonding Technique

OMRON’s unique over-molding method that combines forming and sealing methods with surface bonding techniques blocks the ingress of cutting oil through the joined surfaces into the connector.

No Cutting Oil Ingress by Any Path Unique Structure

In addition to cable sheaths, joints, and moving sections, cutting oil enters most easily in gaps between different materials. OMRON’ s Oil-resistant Components completely block the ingress of cutting oil with a unique structure that does not allow the creation of gaps.

OMRON’s Unique Structure without Gaps Blocks Oil Ingress

3547_fe_3 [Patented] Smartclick Structure + O-ring

With traditional screw-tightened structures, differences in tightening torque made achieving oil resistance difficult. The Smartclick structure, however, locks in a single operation. The built-in O-ring at the lock position is dependably compressed to block the ingress of cutting oil. This structure eliminates the needs to manage screw tightening torque and prevents screw loosening due to vibration, which were issues in environments requiring oil resistance.
