Right Angled Cable Entry Solutions for Tight Enclosures

When there is no room for a cable to exit straight, forcing a tight bend will only store up trouble. AP Technology supplies right angled conduit fittings and elbow gland options for tight enclosures, keeping the cable supported through its change of direction. They are useful against walls, on compact machines and within crowded equipment bays. Protecting the bend radius near the entry can make a real difference to service life, and it usually results in a neater and more accessible installation. Moving machine parts can be served by spiral glands in polyamide 6, which give IP68 protection up to 5 bar as well as additional protection against conductor damage. Conduit is covered too, with metallic liquid tight fittings, UL tested to IP68, in straight and right angled versions, plus PVC conduit fittings for spiral PVC conduit in metric and Pg 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.
