Conax Technologies products

Conax Technologies Model PG Packing Glands provide pressure/vacuum sealing for tubes, probes, pipe, cable or any single element assembly (not electrically isolating), including thermocouples, RTDs, thermometers, thermistor probes, capillary tubes, tubewells, multi-pair cables and analyzer sample tubes. PG glands seal against gases and liquids and resist element movement under pressure. PG gland bodies with NPT threads or SAE threads are constructed from 303SST standard. Weld-neck style gland bodies are constructed from 316LSST standard. Caps and followers for all styles are constructed from 303SST standard. Many optional materials are also available, including 316LSST, Monel 405, Hastelloy C276, Inconel and more. For information on alternative materials, see page 9. Cap Style A offers a mounting thread only. Cap Style B provides threading on both ends for attachment to conduit or terminal heads.

Conax Technologies Model MK Midlock Fittings (sealing glands) seal a single tube or probe. Featuring a metal-to-metal seal rather than our standard soft sealant technology, MK fittings are used where a joint must be opened and resealed in the same setting. Their unique design forms the seal well within the body housing to provide superior performance in high vibration applications.

Transformer and motor power, conduit box feedthroughs, pressure and vacuum chamber power and instrument feedthroughs, etc.

Like the EGT Feedthrough, Conax Technologies HEGPK Feedthroughs electrically and/or thermally isolate single electrodes, tubes or temperature sensors for use in vacuum furnaces, liquid level probes, transformers, environmental chambers, power leads and more. These bare electrical feedthroughs also seal against gases and liquids and resist electrode (also known as conductor) movement under pressure. The HEGPK Feedthrough differs from the EGT Feedthrough in that the single piece insulator/sealant is manufactured from PEEK™, which is recognized as one of the highest performing engineered thermoplastic materials currently available.

Conax specializes in high quality wire sealing in demanding applications such as Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HAST) typical in the semiconductor industry. Cyclical temperature testing is hard on seals, wire insulation and on the wire itself from a corrosion standpoint. Each Conax feedthrough is pressure certified upon initial design to insure a leak proof seal. The feedthroughs may be supplied with straight threads (bulk head fitting style as shown below) or with NPT threads or flanged connection.

The bearings of industrial rotating equipment operate under arduous conditions – often for considerable periods of time. The most reliable indicator of bearing condition is the temperature of the metal beneath the shoe. Recognition of rising temperature can provide a warning of the breakdown of the lubricating oil film; thus allowing machine shutdown and maintenance to take place – avoiding the probable catastrophic failure of the bearing and possible damage to its mounting. Conax Miniature Bearing Sensors provide a simple and cost-effective method to monitor bearing temperatures.

Conax Technologies B-Series heads are compact, lightweight terminal heads that provide convenient hook-up of customer extension wire. The cap and body are nickel-plated to resist corrosion. The ceramic terminal block contains zinc-plated brass terminal posts that accept up to 14 AWG wire. Bayonet-style cover allows easy access to the terminal posts. B-Series heads are provided in direct or adjustable mounting styles.
