Cut to length multi-conductor cables in 1-foot increments
Bulk multi-conductor industrial automation cable is now available cut to length in one-foot increments from 20 to 5000 ft. Cut-to-length cable eliminates waste and lowers cost (only as much cable as required is purchased). With a low minimum cut length of 20 feet, the price per foot per cable type is the same regardless of length ordered. There are no cut charges (and no shipping charges on orders over $49). Cable is cut to length at AutomationDirect's own UL Certified respooling facility and is available for same day shipping if ordered by 6:00pm ET. Cut-to-length cable types include flexible portable cord, RS232/ RS422/ RS485 data cable, flexible control (tray) cable, instrumentation cable, continuous flexing control cable, and continuous flexing industrial Ethernet cable. Cut-to-length cables start at $0.30 / ft. (20-foot minimum) with standard 30-day return policy.

WDP series definite purpose contactors
Definite purpose (DP) contactors are designed for application-specific use to provide compact load control that can handle lower locked rotor switching needs. WDP series DP contactors provide compact load control in applications such as HVAC, compressors, pumps, resistive heating, power supplies, refrigeration equipment, food service equipment, motors, compressors and welding. Starting at $7.25, these reliable control components are available in 1- or 3-phase configurations at coil voltages from 24 to 480VAC. Contactor current capacity is up to 60A with 1-, 2-, and 3-pole configurations at 25A, 30A, and 40A; and 3-pole configurations at 50A and 60A. Terminal box lug connections each have quick connect/disconnect terminals; and optional auxiliary contact blocks mount on WDP series contactors to serve as secondary switches.

Mini Stopper and Stopper Bolt Precision Limit Switches
Mini stopper limit switches from Metrol incorporate a mechanical stop along with the limit switch function, eliminating the need for a separate stop in many applications. With 10 micron repeatability, long service life, and high contact force, these stainless steel switches are ideal for use in precision indexing/positioning applications. Stopper bolt limit switches can take the place of a stop bolt and a separate switch for indication. Metrol stopper bolt precision limit switches incorporate a mechanical stop along with the limit switch function and provide 2 tasks with one device by housing a high-accuracy built-in switch in a stopper bolt. These are designed to have the sensed parts come to a stop against them and not damage the switch. Mini stopper limit switches start at $35.00 and stopper bolt limit switches are priced from $48.00. Both have a one-year warranty.

Limit Switches for Safety Applications from IDEM
Starting at $20.50, safety limit switches from IDEM provide positively operated switching contacts to verify the position of machine elements or other moving parts for safety related purposes. A wide range of housing types are available, and each offers a variety of actuation mechanisms, such as plungers, rollers and levers, all with precise operating points. HLM series limit switches with heavy duty zinc aluminum die-cast bodies and LSPS series limit switches with standard duty plastic bodies have IP67 ratings and 1/2-inch NPT conduit fittings. The HLM-SS series of heavy duty stainless steel limit switches has an IP69K rating (ideal for high temperature washdown) and 1/2-inch NPT fittings. LSMM series (die-cast zinc aluminum body) and LSPM series (plastic body) are compact size switches with 2m pigtails and IP67 ratings (suitable for washdown).

STRIDE Serial / Ethernet Modbus Gateways
STRIDE® Modbus Gateways provide the bridge between Modbus RTU/ASCII (Serial) products and Modbus TCP (Ethernet) products. The gateway converts bidirectionally between Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocols and Modbus TCP. The compact STRIDE gateway features 1 or 2 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and 1, 2, or 4 Industrial serial ports. The Ethernet ports each support up to 16 TCP devices, client or server. Serial ports each support up to 128 slave devices or 1 master device and provide a high serial isolation voltage of 2kV. There is a DIP switch selectable termination resistor for the RS-485 mode. STRIDE gateways, with compact metal housings, have a wide temperature range of -40 to +75 deg C and a Class 1 Div 2 Hazloc rating (UL61010). The three models of the STRIDE MB Gateway are priced from $185.00 and have a 5-year warranty.

Failsafe Force Guided Relays
Force guided relays are electromechanical switching devices that offer safe operation via mechanically linked contacts to ensure that all contacts move at the same time, and prevent movement if any contact is immobilized. Dold force guided relays have at least one NC contact set and one NO contact set. Dold force guided relays are available with up to 6 poles in several NO/NC combinations with 5A contact rating, and provide a large wire cross-section (12-24 AWG) to reduce thermal load on wires. Mounting options include 35mm DIN rail mount integrated relay modules or mounting socket with plug-in relay; the relays include diode protection and modules provide LED indication. Force guided relays are priced from $12.00 and relay modules start at $29.00.

IronHorse Left Hand Shaft Cast Iron Worm Gearboxes
IronHorse cast iron worm gearboxes (worm gear speed reducers) are mechanical power transmission drive components that can drive a load at a reduced fixed ratio of the motor speed. The IronHorse worm gearbox line now includes left hand shaft models in four frame sizes, and six gear ratios from 5:1 to 60:1. Constructed of cast iron one-piece housings, the worm gearboxes feature a C-flange input. Designed to change drive direction by 90 degrees, worm gearboxes are used when space is at a premium, such as for conveyors, or to simplify mechanical design. IronHorse gearboxes are mountable in any direction, except motor pointing up. Prices start at $147; the full line is normally available for same-day shipping and is backed by a one-year warranty. Worm gear reducer mounting bases are also available for ease of installation.
