Ergom N 13/H BK Polyamide Locknut PG13 Black

The Ergom N 13/H BK is a high-quality polyamide locknut specifically engineered for PG13 cable glands. This durable black plastic component is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening solution for various electrical installations. By ensuring a tight fit, it helps maintain the integrity of cable entries, offering essential protection against mechanical stress and vibration in both industrial and commercial wiring environments.

Advantages

This locknut is manufactured from robust polyamide, which offers excellent resistance to environmental factors and mechanical wear. Its design ensures a firm grip on the cable gland, preventing accidental loosening due to vibrations or thermal expansion. The black finish provides a professional appearance that integrates seamlessly into standard electrical enclosures and control panels, while the material properties ensure long-term durability and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Securing cable glands in electrical distribution boxes
• Industrial control panels and automation systems
• Commercial wiring installations requiring vibration resistance
• Outdoor and indoor electrical enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This locknut is designed specifically for PG13 threaded cable glands and will not fit other thread standards such as metric or NPT. It is intended 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 plastic.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG13
• Material: Polyamide
• Color: Black
• Vibration resistance: High

How to use

To install the Ergom N 13/H BK, thread the locknut onto the male thread of the cable gland from the inside of the enclosure or junction box. Tighten the nut firmly by hand or using an appropriate wrench until the cable gland is securely fixed against the enclosure wall. Ensure that the surface is clean and flat to allow for an even distribution of pressure and to maintain the desired ingress protection rating of the cable entry point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable gland is compatible with the PG13 thread standard
• Check the wall thickness of your enclosure to ensure sufficient thread length
• Ensure the operating environment is within the temperature range suitable for polyamide components

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, tighten the locknut until it is snug against the enclosure wall, but avoid over-tightening to prevent potential damage to the plastic threads. Periodically inspect the installation in high-vibration environments to ensure the connection remains secure.
