EMC Glands for Servo Motor and Drive Cables

Servo motor cables are a common source of noise on a machine, and their screens need terminating well at each end. EMC glands from AP Technology give cabinet builders and machine manufacturers a straightforward way to terminate those screens at the enclosure. They work well with screened servo and drive cable on automation, machine tool and robotics applications. Being able to remove the cap and withdraw the cable and insert as a unit is handy too, particularly during commissioning and maintenance. A Bimed EMC cable gland combines the IP68 protection and clamping range of a standard nickel plated brass gland with the added benefit of EMC protection. Fitting is simple. Fix the gland to the panel, remove the outer sheath to reveal the screen, insert the cable so the screen reaches the EMC spring, then lock and tighten. Removing the cap later brings out the cable and insert as a single unit. The 3rd generation adds Bimed's patented contact system, which gives 360 degrees of contact to the screen while still allowing the cable to move during installation without damage.

It is supplied with a Eurometric thread from M12 to M40. The 2nd generation range offers metric, Pg and NPT threads, with long thread and reduced clamping versions on selected sizes. If you are looking to reduce vendors, AP Technology's cross referral service can review existing part numbers or a full bill of materials and recommend suitable alternatives from its line card. Data sheets, samples and costs follow, so a switch can be judged on real information. Partner brands include Intercontec, Bimed, Tecnikabel, TKD, ILME and Hugro.
