FAQs
What is the clamping range for this cable gland?
The LAPP SKINTOP ST-M Cable Gland (53111220) has a variable clamping range suitable for cables with diameters from 7mm to 13mm.
Are locknuts included with this product?
No, locknuts are not included with the SKINTOP ST-M Cable Gland and must be ordered separately.
What materials is this cable gland made of?
This cable gland is constructed from high-performance plastic, offering enhanced oil resistance and durability.
How many cable glands are in this package?
This package contains 10 pieces of the LAPP SKINTOP ST-M Cable Gland.
What applications is this cable gland best suited for?
It is ideal for demanding applications such as machine building, photovoltaic systems, automation, and marine environments, especially where oil resistance and vibration protection are needed.
How does this gland provide strain relief?
The gland design securely grips the cable's outer jacket, preventing tension from being transferred to the internal conductors, thus providing optimal strain relief.
Can this gland be used outdoors?
Yes, its robust plastic construction and resistance to environmental factors make it suitable for many outdoor industrial applications, particularly offshore platforms.
Troubleshooting
Gland does not seal properly.
Ensure the cable diameter is within the specified clamping range (7-13mm). Verify that the locknut is correctly installed and tightened. Check if the cable jacket is uniformly seated within the gland's sealing area.
Cable can still be pulled out.
Confirm that the gland's sealing ring/cap is fully tightened onto the gland body. Ensure the cable's outer jacket is adequately gripped by the internal clamping mechanism. Check if the cable diameter is too small for the selected gland.
Difficulty installing the gland.
Ensure the mounting hole is clean and of the correct thread size. Lubricate threads lightly if necessary, ensuring lubricant is compatible with plastic components. Do not force the gland; check for misaligned threads.
Visible wear or degradation of the plastic.
Inspect the environment for excessive exposure to incompatible chemicals or extreme temperatures. If degradation is observed, replace the gland with one suited for the specific environmental conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to oils and industrial chemicals.
- Accommodates a wide range of cable diameters (7-13mm).
- Provides reliable strain relief and vibration protection.
- Durable construction for harsh environments.
- Compact size saves valuable installation space.
Cons
- Locknuts are not included and must be purchased separately.
- Primarily designed for specific industrial applications, may not be suitable for all environments.
- Plastic construction, while durable, might not be ideal for extreme temperature ranges without further consideration.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate gland size for your cable diameter (7-13mm).
- Prepare the cable by stripping a small section of insulation if required by the internal sealing.
- Insert the cable through the gland body.
- Ensure the cable jacket is properly seated within the gland's clamping range.
- Secure the gland to the enclosure using a compatible locknut (ordered separately). Ensure the locknut is tightened firmly to create a seal.
- Tighten the gland's sealing ring or cap onto the gland body to achieve the desired clamping force on the cable and provide strain relief.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with cables ranging from 7mm to 13mm in diameter.
- Requires compatible SKINTOP locknuts for mounting.
- Suitable for standard metric (M) or PG thread sizes depending on the specific gland model and required mounting hole.
- Designed for use in industrial, machine building, automation, photovoltaic, and marine applications.
Care:
- Clean the exterior of the gland with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically inspect glands for signs of wear, damage, or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
- Ensure the gland remains properly tightened to maintain its sealing and strain relief properties.
