• Junction boxes and control panels
• Outdoor electrical equipment requiring moisture protection
• Cable management in machinery and automation systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for standard industrial applications and may not be suitable for environments involving extreme chemical exposure or high-temperature conditions that exceed the thermal limits of polyamide material. It is also not intended for use in specialized hazardous zones requiring explosion-proof certification.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Material: Polyamide
• Protection rating: IP68
• Color: Gray
• Function: Strain relief and cable sealing

How to use

To install the Ergom M16 cable gland, insert the threaded body through the pre-drilled hole in the enclosure wall and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Feed the cable through the gland until the desired length is reached. Tighten the dome nut by hand or with a suitable wrench to compress the internal sealing ring around the cable jacket, ensuring a watertight and dustproof seal is achieved.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M16 thread size matches your enclosure hole diameter.
• Check the cable diameter range to ensure compatibility with the gland seal.
• Ensure the environment does not exceed the material's chemical or thermal resistance limits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal around the cable, but avoid overtightening which could damage the plastic threads.
