Helukabel 90180 Lock Nut M40 Brass Nickel

The Helukabel 90180 is a professional-grade M40 lock nut engineered for the secure fastening of cable glands in electrical installations. Constructed from high-quality brass with a nickel-plated finish, this component provides exceptional mechanical strength and long-term reliability. It is designed to maintain a firm grip on threaded connections, ensuring that cable glands remain securely in place even in demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this nickel-plated brass lock nut is its superior resistance to corrosion and environmental wear, which makes it ideal for use in challenging conditions. Its robust construction ensures that it can withstand significant mechanical stress without deforming or loosening over time. By providing a stable and secure connection, it helps maintain the integrity of cable entry points, protecting sensitive electrical systems from external factors.

Suitable for

• Securing cable glands in industrial control panels
• Electrical installations in machinery and automation systems
• Applications requiring high mechanical stability and vibration resistance
• Environments where corrosion protection is essential

When it may not be suitable

This lock nut is specifically designed for M40 metric threads and will not fit other thread sizes or types. It may not be appropriate for applications involving extreme chemical exposure where specialized stainless steel or plastic materials are required instead of nickel-plated brass.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M40
• Material: Nickel-plated brass
• Finish: Galvanic nickel coating
• Quantity per pack: 50 pieces

How to use

To install the lock nut, thread it onto the cable gland body before inserting the gland into the enclosure or panel. Once the gland is positioned through the mounting hole, tighten the lock nut firmly against the inner surface of the enclosure. Ensure that the threads are properly aligned to avoid cross-threading, and use an appropriate wrench to achieve the necessary torque for a secure fit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable gland and mounting hole are compatible with the M40 thread size.
• Ensure the material compatibility matches your specific environmental requirements.
• Confirm the required quantity, as this product is supplied in a pack of 50 units.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to prevent loosening due to vibration, ensure the lock nut is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Regularly inspect the connection during routine maintenance to ensure it remains secure.
