Vibrations adversely affect terminal connection, causing loosening of conductors and consequent overheating of terminal blocks. elmex Terminal Blocks are therefore designed to be inherently resistant to vibrations in normal applications. However, high vibrations can arise due to vibration affected installation sites, such as installations in and around mines, proximity to heavy machine shop,forging/ die casting shops, cement/steel plants machinery, textile machines and so on. Special designs for high vibration applications are also preferred in some Power Projects, Power Distribution Centers, Motor Control Centers and Relay Control Panels. depending on proximity of vibration generating equipment.
elmex Standard Screw Clamp design, with compression springs, provided under the clamp, offer a reliable solution for high vibration applications of Terminal Blocks. These are called "SPRING LOADED" terminal blocks.
