Sensor cables

The world is growing more connected and smarter. Sensors are part of the technological basis and are used wherever physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, acceleration or filling level are electronically measured, tested, monitored and automated. The sensor measures an actual value and forwards it to a data processing system via a sensor cable.

Smart everything-Smart everywhere

There is hardly an area in which sensors are not used. This is why you find sensor cables and sensor lines from us

  • In process control
  • In mechanical and plant engineering
  • In robotics
  • In the oil and gas industry
  • In wind turbines
  • In vehicles
  • In aerospace engineering
  • In railway technology and

In many other industrial, medical or scientific institutions

Sometimes the measuring lines are exposed to temperatures of more than 260 °C and aggressive media, in other areas the challenge is to transmit very small signals that can nevertheless be reliably evaluated and thus enable secure control. As a manufacturer of specialised cables, Habia has adapted precisely to these changing conditions with custom-fit cable concepts and combinations of material. 

Flexible and Reliable in All Areas

HEW develops and produces application-specific sensor cables for measurement and control technology.
We manufacture our cables to the highest standards and ensure compliance with standards, safety regulations and manufacturer specifications. Flexible and robust solutions ensure that measurement data and signals are transmitted loss-free, safely and reliably – no matter what the environment. Depending on the application and the requirements, our sensor cables are resistant to:
 
•    Mechanical effects such as bending, friction, vibration and torsion
•    Liquids, oils, greases, chemicals, disinfectants
•    Heat and/or cold
•    Flames, flying sparks
•    Electromagnetic disturbances
•    Effects of environmental factors, e.g. UV radiation


HEW sensor cables ensure excellent signal quality – even in adverse environments

The Right Solution for Every Application


As already mentioned, sensor cables are needed in all kinds of industries these days. Therefore, we can only present a small excerpt of possible areas of application on this site.

However, due to our excellent material competence and patented manufacturing processes, we are able 
to create sensor cables for almost any task and according to your requirements.

Example Solution for Pipeline Monitoring

Pipelines are used for the safe and effective transport of liquids or gases. To avoid incidents and ensure smooth operations, the transport systems must be monitored and regularly maintained. 

We offers optimal solutions for monitoring wells and pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Media and temperature resistant material combinations of fluoropolymers and FPM (Viton™) combine economy with optimal function. Shielded silicone cables with increased mechanical strength.


Example Solution for Temperature Monitoring

The measurement of different temperature ranges in different ambient conditions, immersion depths and application areas requires a wide variety of sensors for temperature monitoring. 

For temperatures from 80°CC, we enables the safe connection of, for example, temperature sensors, resistance thermometers (e.g. Pt100, Pt1000), level sensors or temperature limiters, by utilising combinations of fluoropolymers, elastomers or glass silk elements.

Example Solution for Temperature, Force and Pressure Sensors

We offer customised material combination options and special cable designs that enable the safe connection of temperature, force and pressure sensors. Even under extreme conditions, media and temperature-resistant PTFE connection cables, for example, ensure reliable data transmission (low noise).

Habiasense™


- our cable range specifically made for measurement equipment. Sensor cables are often called on to operate in the harshest of environments. Whether your sensor is measuring acceleration, level and flow, metrology, pressure, proximity, radiation or toxic fumes, the chances are your cable will have to withstand everything from high and low end temperature exposure, vibration, movement and chemical exposure.

Targeted approach with five concepts

Each of the five Habiasense™ concepts comes with its own strengths and benefits to ensure you get all the properties you need without paying for the ones you don't.

For the extremes - Habiasense™ HT


The HT range is geared primarily around extreme temperature performance (low or high) and chemical resistance. Three tiers are available with HT5 providing the best possible electrical and temperature profile.  HT6 offers a mid level product ideally suited to production in longer lengths while HT7 is intended as an entry level product primarily aimed at chemical resistance.

Halogen-free options: Habiasense™ ZH


The ZH types are intended for use in general industry and populated areas.  ZH1 has perhaps the best fire, smoke and toxicity performance available, along with considerable chemical resistance properties. ZH2 is the entry level product and uses our rugged, all-round performance sheath material.

Tailor-made for your needs


The Habiasense™ product range can be made as low-noise, or super-low-noise cables; with specific core- and sheath colours, or even as water-blocked versions. Let us know your specific need - whatever it is, we can build it.
