Pg and NPT EMC Cable Glands for Existing Equipment

Not every enclosure uses metric threads, but it can still have an EMC problem to solve. AP Technology supplies Pg and NPT EMC cable glands, making it possible to improve screen termination on existing or imported equipment without modifying the housing. This helps with retrofits, spares and equipment made for other markets. If you are trying to clear an interference issue on an older machine, a change of gland can be one of the simpler and cheaper checks to carry out first. 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. 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.
