Product Details
JemmCord™ Anti-Static Cord is strong yet light in weight, easy to install, easy to maintain, and has a long service life. It will not oxidize and become less conductive. It is a self-energizing, induction type static eliminator which does not spark or cause sparks, and can be used in hazardous locations, even when flammable vapors are present. JemmCord is effective in a wide variety of industrial applications, and is easy to use. JemmCord™ should be placed across the moving surface to be neutralized and grounded to bare metal on the machine. JemmCord™ can be placed on either side of the affected surface in contact with or near the surface. The higher the level the more effective the cord function.
- Available in many lengths and sizes
- Low in price
- Easy to install and maintain
Installation
What to know before installing JemmCord/FlexCord:
- Position the JemmCord/FlexCord just prior to where the static charge is creating a production or quality problem.
- It may be necessary to mount JemmCord/FlexCord at several points in a machine process. For example, the feed and delivery end of a printer.
- Depending on the application, it may be necessary to mount the JemmCord/FlexCord above and below the web, sheets, etc to thoroughly control static charge.
- Make sure JemmCord/FlexCord is grounded.
Mounting using mounting magnets:
Step 1.
Using one magnet, thread the JemmCord/FlexCord through the magnet and loosely double knot the end of the JemmCord on the magnet side.
Step 2.
Pull the JemmCord/FlexCord until knot catches inside the magnet and trim excess cord if needed. Mount to one side of the metallic machine frame.
Step 3.
Stretch the Jemmcord/FlexCord tautly across and approximately 1/4" to 1/2" above or below the surface (do not exceed 1"). Using a second magnet, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
Grounding method options:
1. If the surfaces of the magnets are mounted to metal machine components, a ground may be achieved by the magnets and the end of the cord touching the grounded surface.
2. Leave a longer length of JemmCord/FlexCord at the end of one magnet. Tie or attach to a known grounded part of the machine frame or a grounded screw.
3. Attach a separate ground wire to the JemmCord/FlexCord.
