Brass Anti-Bend Cable Gland
The Brass Anti-Bend Cable Gland features an integrated spiral spring guard engineered to eliminate stress concentration and prevent cable fracture caused by over-bending, sharp angles, or continuous mechanical flexing. Built from precision-machined brass with a durable nickel finish, it delivers robust mechanical strain relief, secure cable retention, and reliable IP68 environmental sealing for industrial electrical installations.
Product Overview
The Brass Anti-Bend Cable Gland features an integrated spiral spring guard engineered to eliminate stress concentration and prevent cable fracture caused by over-bending, sharp angles, or continuous mechanical flexing. Built from precision-machined brass with a durable nickel finish, it delivers robust mechanical strain relief, secure cable retention, and reliable IP68 environmental sealing for industrial electrical installations.
Key Features
Material Integrity: High-grade nickel-plated H59 brass body provides exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical impact strength, and inherent EMC shielding capability.
Stress-Relief Spiral Guard: Extended stainless steel or brass spring guard restricts the bending radius, safeguarding cable cores in dynamic, high-vibration applications.
Precision Sealing System: EPDM/Nitrile rubber inner seal and O-ring ensure a 360-degree uniform waterproof grip around the cable outer diameter.
Advanced Clamping Mechanism: Multi-slot claw design secures the cable and withstands high pull-out forces under heavy axial tension.
Environmental Protection: Certified up to IP68 (5 bar) against dust ingress and continuous liquid immersion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the correct thread size for my enclosure cutout?
A: Match the gland thread designation (e.g., M20 1.5) to your panel's tapped entry or pre-drilled clearance hole. Refer to our thread conversion chart or download our CAD blocks to verify clearance.
Q: What is the exact cable clamping range for an M20 anti-bend gland?
A: Standard M20 1.5 models accommodate cable outer diameters from 6 mm to 12 mm. Custom reduced-range or multi-hole seals are available for specific thin cables.
Q: Are these glands suitable for permanent outdoor marine environments?
A: Yes. The nickel-plated H59 brass construction resists UV radiation, salt mist corrosion, and ozone degradation, preserving the IP68 seal outdoors.
Q: Do these standard glands provide Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) shielding?
A: Standard models offer basic metal-to-metal grounding. For high-frequency EMI/EMC shielding needs, please request our specialized EMC glands equipped with internal spring fingers.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for customized thread specs or laser branding?
A: MOQs start at 500 pieces for customized laser markings or non-standard thread lengths. Contact our engineering team to review tooling requirements.
Q: What are your typical production and shipping lead times?
A: Standard catalog items ship within 5 to 7 business days. Custom CNC-machined orders typically require 15 to 25 business days depending on production volume.
