The Helukabel M16 polyamide cable gland is a robust solution designed for secure cable entry and effective strain relief in various electrical enclosures. Engineered to provide a reliable seal, this component ensures that your electrical connections remain protected against environmental factors. Its durable polyamide construction and light grey finish make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where maintaining the integrity of cable entries is essential.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior protection with an IP68 rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and capable of withstanding immersion in water. The inclusion of a locknut ensures a firm and vibration-resistant installation, preventing the cable from being pulled out or damaged. Its high-quality polyamide material provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental degradation, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and electrical enclosures
• Outdoor junction boxes requiring moisture protection
• Commercial wiring installations
• Machinery and equipment manufacturing

This product may not be suitable for high-temperature environments exceeding the thermal limits of polyamide or for applications involving exposure to aggressive chemicals that could degrade the plastic material. It is also not intended for use with cables outside the specified 5-10mm diameter range.

Key specifications

How to use

To install the Helukabel M16 cable gland, insert the threaded body through the pre-drilled hole in your enclosure wall. Secure the gland in place by tightening the included locknut from the inside of the enclosure. Once the gland is fixed, pass the cable through the opening and tighten the dome nut until the internal seal compresses firmly around the cable jacket, ensuring a secure and waterproof fit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the enclosure wall thickness is compatible with the 8.2mm thread length.
• Ensure the cable diameter falls strictly within the 5-10mm range for proper sealing.
• Check the environmental conditions to ensure polyamide is the appropriate material for your specific site.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to achieve the IP68 seal, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the plastic threads. Regular inspection of the seal is recommended in high-vibration environments.
