FAQs

Is the locknut included with this cable gland?

No, the locknut is not included and must be ordered separately.

What is the minimum and maximum cable diameter this gland can accommodate?

This gland is designed for cables with a diameter ranging from 11mm to 21mm.

What does IP68 mean for this cable gland?

IP68 signifies that the gland is dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion in water under specified conditions.

Can this gland be used for non-shielded cables?

While it may physically fit, the primary benefit of this gland is its EMC shielding capability. For non-shielded cables, standard cable glands may be more suitable.

What is the purpose of the EMC spring contact?

The EMC spring contact ensures a low-resistance connection to the cable's shielding braid, which is essential for effective electromagnetic interference suppression.

What materials is the gland made from?

The gland is constructed from brass and polyamide, with nickel plating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

What is the operating temperature range?

The gland can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C.

Troubleshooting

Gland does not provide adequate shielding

Ensure the copper braiding is correctly positioned and making firm contact with the patented inner springs. Verify the cable diameter is within the specified range (11-21mm). Check that the gland is securely tightened and a locknut is properly installed.

Difficulty installing cable

Confirm the cable's outer diameter is within the 11-21mm range. Ensure the cable jacket is stripped cleanly and any sharp edges are removed.

Gland leaks water or dust

Check that the gland is fully tightened onto the enclosure and that the sealing surface is clean. Ensure the cable diameter is properly sealed by the gland's internal components.

Gland feels loose after installation

Verify that an M32 locknut has been installed and tightened on the inside of the enclosure. Ensure the M32 thread on the enclosure is undamaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression.
  • Durable brass construction ensures a long service life.
  • High IP rating offers superior protection against environmental factors.
  • Flexible EMC spring contact ensures reliable shielding connection.
  • Easy to install with standard M32 threaded connections.

Cons

  • Locknuts are not included and require a separate purchase.
  • Polyamide material may have limitations in extremely high-abrasion environments.
  • Primarily designed for specific cable shielding types, may not be suitable for all cable constructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate hole size in your enclosure (M32 thread).
  2. Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the shielding braid according to best practices for EMC connections.
  3. Insert the cable through the gland.
  4. Position the patented inner contact springs onto the cable's copper braiding, ensuring good contact.
  5. Screw the gland body onto the M32 threaded opening of the enclosure, ensuring the inner springs engage properly with the braiding.
  6. Crucially, install a separate, compatible M32 locknut on the inside of the enclosure to secure the gland.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: Designed for M32x1.5 threaded entries.
  • Cable Diameter: Suitable for cables with an outer diameter ranging from 11mm to 21mm.
  • Shielding: Ideal for cables with copper braiding that requires EMC-compliant grounding.
  • Locknuts: Requires a separate M32 locknut for proper installation.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the gland for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the polyamide components.
  • Ensure the connection remains tight and the shielding contact is maintained.
