Key Features
Material Composition: Machined from solid AISI 304 stainless steel stock, delivering high tensile strength and oxidation resistance in humid or mildly corrosive atmospheres.
Sealing Structure: Multi-element design featuring an EPDM or NBR sealing insert and O-ring, achieving consistent IP68 / IP69K liquid and dust ingress protection.
Clamping Mechanism: Claw-and-seal design distributes uniform radial pressure around the cable jacket, providing high pull-out resistance without cutting the insulation.
Grounding & Continuity: Metal-to-metal contact path ensures reliable electrical continuity when used with armored or shielded cables (select variants).

Marine & Offshore: Deck-mounted instrument enclosures, coastal infrastructure, and lighting fixtures.
Renewable Energy: Solar inverter housings and wind turbine control boxes.
OEM & ODM Customization
Custom Machining: Non-standard thread pitches, extended thread lengths, or specific body hex dimensions tailored to OEM enclosure designs.
Material Variants: Upgrades to AISI 316 / 316L stainless steel for marine or chemical plant specifications.
Private Labeling: Laser-etched part numbers, company logos, or thread specifications directly onto the gland body or locknut.
Quality Control
Dimensional Inspection: 100% optical comparator and digital thread gauge checks to verify ISO/DIN thread tolerance classes.
Material Verification: PMI (Positive Material Identification) spectrometer testing confirms authentic SS304 alloy composition prior to production.
Pressure & Leak Testing: Sample-based pneumatic and hydrostatic pressure testing to verify IP68 seal compression limits.
Documentation: Material Test Reports (MTR / EN 10204 3.1) and compliance certificates available upon request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I select the correct thread type for my panel?
A: Match the panel knockout or tapped hole standard. Metric threads use standard pitch (e.g., M20x1.5), whereas PG threads follow DIN 40430 standards. Verify hole diameter and wall thickness before ordering.
Q: What is the cable clamping range for an M20 size?
A: Standard M20x1.5 glands accommodate cable outer diameters from 6 mm to 12 mm. Narrower or wider clamping ranges are available via specialized internal inserts.
Q: Is SS304 suitable for marine coastal environments?
A: SS304 provides adequate corrosion resistance for general outdoor and industrial washdown use. For direct marine splash zones or high-salinity environments, SS316 is recommended.
Q: What is the standard MOQ for custom threads or laser marking?
A: Minimum order quantities start at 500 pieces per size for custom laser marking and 1,000 pieces for non-standard CNC machined thread geometries.
Q: Are locknuts and O-rings included with the gland?
A: Yes. Every gland ships pre-assembled with a matching stainless steel locknut and NBR sealing O-ring.
Q: What is the typical production lead time?
A: Standard catalog items ship within 7 to 10 days. Custom production runs require 20 to 25 days depending on volume and finishing requirements.
