FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the EMC shielding?
The EMC shielding provides a 360-degree contact with the cable's shield, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission and preventing disruption of sensitive electronic equipment.
Do I need to purchase a locknut separately?
Yes, locknuts are not included with this cable gland and must be ordered separately. An M25x1.5 locknut is required for secure mounting.
What is the operating temperature range for this cable gland?
The cable gland can operate in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +100°C.
How does the double lamella gasket help?
The innovative double lamella gasket is designed to make the assembly of cables with large diameters easier and more secure, preventing damage to the cable and ensuring a tight seal.
What does the IP68/IP69 rating mean?
IP68 indicates protection against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water. IP69 signifies protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, making it suitable for washdown environments.
What materials is the cable gland made of?
The main body is constructed from nickel-plated brass, with sealing elements typically made from elastomer and polyamide components.
Can this gland be used with cables outside the 9-17mm range?
No, it is designed specifically for cables with outer diameters between 9mm and 17mm to ensure proper sealing and shielding contact. Using cables outside this range may compromise performance and protection.
Troubleshooting
Cable gland is difficult to thread onto enclosure.
Ensure the enclosure's threaded port is clean and free of debris. Verify that the gland's thread (M25x1.5) matches the enclosure's thread.
Poor EMC shielding performance.
Verify that the cable's shield is making complete 360-degree contact with the gland's internal shield spring. Ensure no insulation is preventing contact. Check if the gland is properly tightened onto the enclosure.
Gland does not seal properly (IP rating not met).
Confirm the cable diameter is within the 9-17mm range and properly seated. Ensure the gasket is intact and properly positioned. The gland must be tightened securely against a smooth, clean enclosure surface.
Cable jacket is damaged during installation.
Ensure the cable shield is prepared correctly, allowing the double lamella gasket to seat without cutting into the cable. Use appropriate tools and avoid over-tightening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent EMC shielding performance for signal integrity.
- Robust construction with nickel-plated brass for durability.
- High IP rating (IP68/IP69) provides superior protection against environmental factors.
- Versatile for various cable diameters within the specified range.
- Designed for ease of installation in industrial settings.
Cons
- Locknuts are not included and require a separate purchase.
- Primarily designed for industrial applications; may be over-engineered for simple domestic use.
- Specific thread size (M25x1.5) limits compatibility to enclosures with corresponding fittings.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a suitable enclosure with an M25x1.5 threaded entry.
- Ensure the cable's outer jacket and shielding are prepared according to the specifications for the 9-17mm diameter range.
- Insert the prepared cable end through the gland. Ensure the shielding makes full contact with the gland's internal shield spring.
- Tighten the gland body onto the M25x1.5 threaded entry of the enclosure. Use the 29mm hex head for secure tightening. If using an external locknut, install it now.
- Ensure the gasket creates a tight seal against the enclosure surface.
Compatibility:
- Thread Size: Compatible with M25x1.5 threaded ports.
- Cable Diameter: Suitable for cables with an outer diameter ranging from 9mm to 17mm.
- Materials: The nickel-plated brass construction is compatible with most industrial enclosure materials, including steel and aluminum.
- Locknut: Requires a separate M25x1.5 locknut for secure mounting on thin-walled enclosures or panels.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the gland for any signs of damage or wear, especially the gasket and the shield contact area.
- Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the materials.
- Ensure connections remain tight to maintain IP rating and EMC performance.
