The cable gland SKINDICHT/SH/PG/16 from Lapp is a robust component for secure and durable cable fixation in electrical and industrial installations. It is specifically designed for use in areas such as electric motor manufacturing, plant engineering, and construction sites, where stable strain relief and mechanical load capacity are required. The product features a clamping range of 15.0 to 18.0 mm, making it suitable for cables with a diameter within this range. The gland is made of brass and nickel-plated, ensuring high corrosion resistance and resistance to seawater. The material selection also ensures that the component is non-magnetic, which can be advantageous in certain industrial environments.

Cable gland is the general term for a component that securely fixes cables in an enclosure or cover, while simultaneously providing mechanical strain relief. The PG 16 designation defines the standard for the gland's fit, which is based on the outer diameter class of the cable. The screw size 24 allows for installation using a matching wrench, ensuring secure and precise locking. The IP 20 protection rating means the device is protected against contact with fingers and solid foreign objects larger than 12.5 mm, but not against water or dust. This makes the gland suitable for indoor applications where no direct environmental influences such as moisture or dust occur.

The gland is halogen-free and UV-resistant, meaning it does not release harmful gases under prolonged sunlight exposure and maintains its mechanical properties even under UV influence. These properties are particularly relevant for applications outdoors or in environments with high light and heat exposure. The strain relief ensures that mechanical loads transmitted through the cable to the connection do not affect the internal electrical connection, but are instead diverted through the gland. This extends the service life of the cable connection and prevents breaks or loosening.

Applications include particularly electric motor manufacturing, plant engineering, and construction sites, where robust and reliable cable fixings are required. The gland is suitable for applications requiring high mechanical load capacity and a secure connection. The corrosion resistance and seawater resistance make it suitable for use in marine or humid environments, provided the IP 20 protection rating is sufficient. The non-magnetic property is beneficial in environments where magnetic fields could cause interference, for example, near measuring devices or sensors.

Functions and features in detail include integrated strain relief, ensuring mechanical relief for the cable. The material selection of nickel-plated brass ensures high strength and durability. The cable gland is designed for a clamping range of 15.0 to 18.0 mm, enabling broad applicability for various cable diameters. The screw size of 24 mm allows for easy and secure installation using a standard wrench. The IP 20 protection rating is suitable for indoor applications where no direct environmental influences such as moisture or dust occur.

Technology explained simply means that the gland securely fixes the cable in the enclosure, while the strain relief ensures that mechanical loads are not transferred to the internal electrical connection. The materials are selected to be corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant, increasing service life. The PG 16 designation defines the fit, based on the cable's outer diameter class. The IP 20 protection rating protects against contact with fingers and solid foreign objects larger than 12.5 mm, but not against water or dust.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use with cables in the diameter range of 15.0 to 18.0 mm. The gland is suitable for indoor applications where the IP 20 protection rating is sufficient. Installation is done using a wrench with a screw size of 24 mm.

Installation and mounting is performed by tightening the gland with a wrench, where the strain relief is automatically activated. The gland is pulled over the cable and inserted into the enclosure, with the inner side of the enclosure fixing the gland. Installation requires no additional tools or components.

Operational advantages include high mechanical load capacity, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance. The strain relief extends the service life of the cable connection and prevents breaks or loosening. The non-magnetic property is beneficial in environments where magnetic fields could cause interference. The gland is suitable for indoor applications where the IP 20 protection rating is sufficient.
