Helukabel 98165 Polyamide Lock Nut M20x1.5, 100 Pieces

The Helukabel 98165 is a professional-grade polyamide lock nut engineered for the secure installation of cable glands in electrical and industrial systems. Featuring a standard M20x1.5 thread size, this component provides a reliable mechanical connection, ensuring that cable glands remain firmly in place even under vibration or mechanical stress. The durable polyamide construction offers excellent resistance to environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for long-term equipment assembly and wiring infrastructure.

Advantages

This lock nut is manufactured from high-quality polyamide, which provides a lightweight yet robust solution for securing cable entries. The inclusion of a collar design increases the sealing surface area, which significantly simplifies the process of achieving a tight seal, especially when used in conjunction with an additional O-ring. Its matt finish ensures a professional appearance in industrial enclosures, while the material properties offer inherent resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, ensuring consistent performance across various operating environments.

Suitable for

• Securing cable glands in electrical distribution boxes
• Industrial machinery and equipment assembly
• Control panel wiring and automation systems
• Projects requiring reliable vibration-resistant fastening

This lock nut may not be suitable for high-temperature environments exceeding the thermal limits of polyamide material. It is also not intended for applications involving extreme mechanical impact or heavy-duty structural load-bearing requirements where metal hardware would be strictly necessary.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M20x1.5
• Material: Polyamide
• Finish: Matt
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack
• Design: Counternut with collar

To use the Helukabel 98165, thread the lock nut onto the cable gland from the inside of the enclosure or panel. Ensure the threaded portion of the gland is fully engaged with the nut. Tighten the nut firmly by hand or with an appropriate tool to secure the gland against the housing wall. The collar design allows for a stable seating position, ensuring the gland remains perpendicular to the mounting surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing cable glands matches the M20x1.5 specification
• Ensure the enclosure wall thickness is compatible with the thread length of the gland
• Check if your application requires additional O-rings for enhanced ingress protection

For optimal results, ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before installation. Do not overtighten the polyamide nut to avoid stripping the threads, and always verify that the cable gland is properly aligned before final tightening.
