Stainless Steel Cable Glands

Product Overview

 

Industrial-grade stainless steel cable glands engineered for secure cable termination, mechanical strain relief, and liquid-tight environmental sealing in aggressive operating environments. Machined from solid austenitic stainless steel bars, these components maintain structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and IP68/IP69K ingress protection under heavy mechanical stress, wide temperature fluctuations, and harsh chemical exposure.

 

 
Key Features
 
 
 

Material Integrity:

Precision-machined from solid AISI 304 or AISI 316/316L stainless steel bars, eliminating micro-porosity and providing exceptional resistance to pitting, oxidation, and industrial cleaning agents.

 
 

Sealing Structure:

Multi-segment clamping claw paired with a high-grade NBR or FKM (Viton) sealing insert, delivering uniform 360-degree radial compression around the cable jacket.

 
 

Clamping Mechanism:

Progressive ratchet locking design prevents cable twisting during tightening and ensures high mechanical pull-out resistance exceeding EN 62444 Class A requirements.

 
 

Ingress Protection:

Precision-machined O-ring groove at the thread interface ensures a gas-tight and liquid-tight seal against moisture, dust, oils, and high-pressure water jets (IP68 10 bar / IP69K).

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Q: How do I select the correct thread type for my enclosure cutout?

A: Identify the entry standard of your panel or conduit. Use Metric (M) for modern European equipment, PG for legacy German machinery, NPT for North American threaded ports, and G (BSP) for parallel pipe threads. Ensure both the thread size and pitch match precisely.

Q: How should I match my cable outer diameter (OD) to the gland size?

A: Each gland thread size covers a specific clamping range (e.g., M20x1.5 typically clamps 6.0 mm to 12.0 mm). For optimal sealing pressure and pull-out resistance, select a gland where your cable OD falls within the middle of the specified clamping span.

Q: When is it necessary to specify AISI 316 over AISI 304?

A: Specify AISI 316 (or 316L) for environments involving continuous saltwater exposure, marine atmospheres, chemical plants, or washdown areas utilizing chlorine-based sanitizers. AISI 304 is adequate for standard indoor and mild outdoor industrial applications.

Q: Are stainless steel locknuts included with the cable glands?

A: Standard supply includes the cable gland body, clamping claw, sealing insert, and thread O-ring. Matching stainless steel locknuts and EMC earthing inserts can be included or ordered separately according to your assembly specification.

Q: What is the packaging standard for international shipping?

A: Glands are packaged in anti-oxidation poly bags and packed into sturdy export-grade corrugated cartons protected against moisture and transit friction, minimizing risk during ocean or air freight.

Q: What are the standard lead times for stock items versus custom production runs?

A: Standard catalog sizes (M12–M32, metric/PG) are maintained in stock for dispatch within 3 to 5 business days. Custom threads, specialized materials, or volume OEM orders typically require 15 to 25 business days depending on production scheduling.
