Helukabel Helutop HT-M20 Polyamide Cable Gland IP68 Dark Grey

The Helukabel Helutop HT-M20 is a high-performance polyamide cable gland engineered to provide secure cable entry and robust strain relief in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from durable Polyamide 6 and featuring a chloroprene rubber seal, this component ensures a reliable, airtight, and watertight connection. With an IP68 protection rating, it effectively prevents the ingress of dust and moisture, making it an essential solution for maintaining the integrity of electrical installations and enclosures.

Advantages

This cable gland offers exceptional reliability through its advanced clamping lamella design, which provides optimum strain relief and vibration protection for connected cables. The material composition is free from phosphorus, silicone, and cadmium, ensuring compatibility with sensitive industrial processes. Its design facilitates quick and easy assembly, which contributes to significant time and cost savings during installation. Furthermore, the wide clamping range allows for versatile use across various cable diameters, while the robust construction ensures long-term performance in challenging conditions.

Suitable for

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

This cable gland may not be suitable for applications involving extreme chemical exposure or high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal limits of Polyamide 6. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam cleaning environments or areas requiring specialized metallic shielding for electromagnetic interference protection.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyamide 6
• Seal material: Chloroprene rubber
• Protection rating: IP68
• Thread type: M20
• Features: Vibration protection, phosphorus-free, silicone-free, cadmium-free
• Standard: EN 62444

To install the Helukabel Helutop HT-M20, insert the cable through the gland into the enclosure or housing. Tighten the cap nut to compress the internal seal and the clamping lamellae around the cable jacket. Ensure the thread is properly aligned with the mounting hole to prevent cross-threading. The assembly should be tightened until the seal is firmly seated to guarantee the IP68 ingress protection rating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M20 thread size matches your specific enclosure or mounting port.
• Ensure the cable diameter falls within the manufacturer's specified clamping range for this model.
• Confirm that the environmental conditions, such as temperature and chemical exposure, are within the operational limits of polyamide materials.

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the cable is inserted straight and the cap nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal around the cable sheath. Avoid over-tightening, which could potentially damage the plastic threads.
