Nickel Plated Brass Cable Glands for Industrial Machinery

Machinery can be a tough place for a plastic gland, particularly where knocks or heat are involved. Nickel plated brass cable glands from AP Technology offer stronger mechanical protection, with an IP68 seal and a wide choice of threads. They are widely used on motor terminal boxes, control enclosures and machine mounted equipment. Long thread versions can be useful on thick walled housings or wherever a lock nut needs extra thread, and they are available on key metric and Pg ranges. Design details make the difference during installation. There are no screw clamps to damage cable insulation, a lamellate construction gives equal cable compression, and a trapeze thread eliminates cross threading. Metallic versions in nickel plated brass carry the same IP68 protection with a waterproof neoprene seal and a polyamide clamping insert, and they are available with metric, Pg, NPT and Eurometric threads. Harder environments have their own ranges. Stainless steel glands in AISI 303 or AISI 316L suit extremely harsh or aggressive conditions and still give an IP68 seal.

Double seal brass glands provide a wide clamping range with a nitrile seal rated -40°C to +100°C, while a special order silicone seal extends the top end of the temperature range for hot applications. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
