ifm Ecolink versions

ifm’s Ecolink connection technology for industrial applications has a range of different versions, to choose whichever is most suitable to your application.

These include …

EVC – (Coolant)

• For applications in factory automation, the machine tool industry, mechanical engineering and hydraulic applications
• High-quality PUR materials
• Good resistance to mineral and hydraulic oils, fats and coolants as well as UV radiation
• Connectors are halogen-free and silicone-free
• Cables are suitable for drag chains and torsional movements

EVT (Temperature)

• For hygienic and wet areas in food industry
• High-quality PVC housing and cable, gold-plated contacts and high-grade stainless-steel nuts
• Good resistance to standard cleaning and disinfecting agents of the industry ensures a long lifetime.

EVF (Food)

• For hygienic and wet areas in the food industry
• High-quality PP housing and a special cable with innovative MPPE sheath insulation guarantee a very good resistance to standard cleaning and disinfecting agents of the industry
• Coupling nut has a special contour for more grip even when hand tightened with wet fingers
• Smooth surface prevents build-up of dirt and allows cleaning without problems.

EVM (Mobile)

• For sensors in particularly harsh environments, such as construction machines or gritters.
• Suited to mobile environments, good resistance to mineral and hydraulic oils, fats and coolants.
• Connectors are halogen-free and silicone-free
• Cables suitable for drag chains and torsional movements.
• Corrosion resistant coupling nut is made of stainless steel

EVW (Welding)

• A special halogen-free PUR cable prevents burning-in of weld spatter; teflon-coated coupling nuts prevent weld spatter sticking
• Suitable for drag chains and torsional movements

EVS (Standard)

• Low-cost alternative for use in factory automation

EVF (Food)

• Strain relief is guaranteed by means of an extremely strong three-way ball clamps that reliably clamps the cable even in case of intense tensile strain.
• Thanks to the strict separation, there is no mechanical load on the seal so that the cable is not deformed at the sealing point.
• The highly elastic cable seal is positioned right at the cable entry and reliably seals even in case of intense cable movement, preventing dirt accumulation and making the connectors easy to clean
• Patented technology allows wirable connectors to achieve protection rating IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K.
