Helukabel Helutop HT-MS Brass Cable Gland M20 x 1.5 IP68

The Helukabel Helutop HT-MS M20 x 1.5 brass cable gland is a robust and reliable solution designed for secure cable entry in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high-quality nickel-plated brass, this component provides exceptional mechanical strength and durability. It is engineered to ensure optimal sealing and strain relief, protecting electrical installations from dust, moisture, and physical stress.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior performance due to its high-grade materials, including a chloroprene rubber seal and a polyamide clamping lamella that provides excellent strain relief. The nickel-plated brass construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and environmental factors. Its design allows for quick and efficient assembly, which helps reduce installation time and labor costs in complex projects. The wide clamping range provides flexibility for various cable diameters, ensuring a secure and airtight fit that meets stringent industrial standards.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in environments where the cable diameter falls outside the specified clamping range or where the thread size does not match the M20 x 1.5 standard. It is also not suitable for applications involving highly corrosive chemical substances that may degrade the nickel-plated brass or the rubber sealing components.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M20 x 1.5
• Material: Nickel-plated brass
• Clamping insert: Polyamide 6
• Seal material: Chloroprene rubber
• O-ring material: Nitrile butadiene rubber
• Protection rating: IP68 (dust-tight and water-resistant)
• Compliance: EN 62444

How to use

To install the Helutop HT-MS, insert the cable through the gland body and tighten the cap nut to the required torque. The internal clamping lamella will automatically grip the cable, providing the necessary strain relief while the rubber seals compress to create an IP68-rated barrier against environmental contaminants. Ensure that the thread is properly aligned with the enclosure entry point to prevent cross-threading and to maintain the integrity of the seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M20 x 1.5 thread matches your enclosure or housing entry point.
• Check that your cable outer diameter is compatible with the gland's clamping range.
• Ensure the environmental conditions do not exceed the chemical resistance limits of brass and rubber.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 protection rating, ensure the cap nut is tightened sufficiently to compress the internal seal around the cable jacket. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the clamping lamella or the cable insulation.
