Cable Gland Bachmann 930.320 Silver Aluminium 240 mm 1 pc

The Bachmann 930.320 Silver Aluminium cable gland is a 240 mm long metal fitting designed to provide secure cable entry and mechanical protection where durable, conductive, and lightweight material is required. Constructed from silver-coloured aluminium, this cable gland offers a corrosion-resistant surface and consistent dimensional stability for a reliable sealing interface between cable and enclosure. It is intended for installations that require a robust, metallic gland offering grounding capability and improved heat dissipation compared with non-metallic alternatives.

Advantages

The aluminium construction delivers a balance of strength, low weight and resistance to environmental corrosion, supporting long-term service in indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. The 240 mm length provides extended reach for cables traversing panels of notable thickness, enabling neat routing and secure clamping. Metal-to-metal contact allows for potential grounding and EMI shielding when correctly installed, while the silver finish simplifies visual inspection and matches common metallic enclosures.

Suitable for

• Electrical and control cabinets requiring metallic cable entry fittings
• Industrial machinery where mechanical protection and grounding are needed
• Applications with moderate environmental exposure where aluminium corrosion resistance is sufficient
• Retrofit projects where panel thickness or cable routing demands a longer gland

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium, silver finish
• Length: 240 mm
• Function: cable entry and mechanical protection
• Suitable for metallic enclosures and conductive connections
• Provides potential grounding path and improved heat dissipation over non-metallic glands

How to use

Select an appropriate hole size in the enclosure that matches the outer thread or mounting diameter of the gland. Insert the gland through the panel and secure it using the matching nut or locking mechanism on the enclosure side, ensuring a tight mechanical fit. Route the cable through the gland and tighten the clamping components to achieve a firm hold on the cable sheath; do not overtighten to avoid damaging the cable. If electrical continuity is required, verify metal-to-metal contact and bond the gland to the enclosure ground according to local electrical codes and safety standards.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect the gland and sealing elements periodically for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in environments with chemical exposure or salt spray. Use compatible sealing washers or gaskets when mounting in thin panels to maintain enclosure ingress protection. When grounding is required, follow approved bonding practices and confirm continuity with a suitable test instrument after installation.
