Helukabel HELUTOP HT-MS Brass Cable Gland M12x1.5 IP68

The Helukabel HELUTOP HT-MS M12x1.5 brass cable gland is a robust and reliable solution for secure cable entry in various industrial applications. Engineered with high-quality nickel-plated brass, this component provides exceptional mechanical strength and durability. It is designed to maintain a secure seal, protecting internal connections from dust and moisture ingress, ensuring long-term operational integrity in demanding environments.

Advantages

This cable gland features an advanced design that offers optimum strain relief through its specialized clamping lamella system, which effectively secures the cable and prevents accidental disconnection. The construction materials, including a chloroprene rubber seal and a nitrile butadiene rubber O-ring, provide excellent resistance to environmental factors. Its design facilitates easy and quick assembly, which helps in reducing installation time and overall labor costs while maintaining a high standard of protection.

Suitable for

• Machine and plant construction
• Robotics and automation technology
• Vehicle construction and shipbuilding
• Railway technology
• Control cabinet construction
• General electrical installation technology

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is designed for specific thread sizes and cable diameters. It may not be suitable for applications requiring non-standard thread types or cables that fall outside the specified clamping range. Additionally, it is intended for industrial use and may be oversized for small-scale consumer electronics or low-voltage residential wiring projects.

• Thread size: M12x1.5
• Protection rating: IP68
• Seal material: Chloroprene rubber
• O-ring material: Nitrile butadiene rubber
• Clamping component: Polyamide 6
• Compliance: EN 62444

How to use

To install the Helukabel HELUTOP HT-MS, insert the cable through the gland and tighten the cap to the required torque. The clamping lamella will automatically adjust to the cable diameter, providing a secure grip and a watertight seal. Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and that the O-ring is properly seated to maintain the IP68 protection rating. Use appropriate tools to tighten the gland to the housing to ensure a secure and vibration-resistant connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M12x1.5 thread size matches your equipment housing.
• Check that your cable outer diameter falls within the manufacturer's specified clamping range.
• Ensure the environment does not exceed the chemical or temperature resistance limits of the brass and rubber components.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the cable is inserted straight and the gland is tightened according to standard industrial practices. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the internal sealing elements.
