The Hensel AKM 25 cable gland is a professional-grade component engineered for secure and reliable cable entry in electrical installations. Constructed from high-quality, durable grey polyamide, this gland provides excellent mechanical stability and environmental protection. It is designed to maintain the integrity of electrical enclosures by offering robust strain relief and a high degree of sealing against dust and moisture, ensuring long-term performance in demanding environments.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior protection through its advanced design, which includes a reliable sealing system and integrated strain relief to prevent cable damage. The use of high-quality polyamide ensures resistance to environmental stressors, while the wide operating temperature range allows for versatile deployment. Its construction is tested for high thermal resistance, making it a safe choice for critical electrical setups where reliability is paramount.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building infrastructure
• Outdoor installations requiring high ingress protection
• Cable management in junction boxes
• Environments with varying temperature conditions

This product may not be suitable for applications involving extreme chemical exposure or mechanical impacts that exceed the physical properties of polyamide. It is also not intended for use with cables outside the specified sealing range of 11 to 17 mm, as this would compromise the IP rating and sealing effectiveness.

Key specifications

• Thread type: ISO M 25 x 1.5
• Sealing range: 11-17 mm
• Bore-hole diameter: 25.3 mm
• Wall thickness compatibility: Up to 3 mm
• Protection rating: IP 66, IP 67, IP 69
• Material: Polyamide, RAL 7035
• Temperature range: -25 °C to +55 °C
• Glow wire test: 960 °C

To install the Hensel AKM 25, ensure the mounting surface has a 25.3 mm diameter hole. Insert the gland through the opening and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Feed the cable through the gland and tighten the cap until the seal compresses around the cable jacket, ensuring a secure fit that provides both strain relief and environmental sealing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter falls within the 11-17 mm range.
• Ensure the enclosure wall thickness does not exceed 3 mm.
• Confirm the mounting hole diameter matches the required 25.3 mm.
• Check that the ambient temperature of the installation site remains within the -25 °C to +55 °C range.

Ensure that the cable gland is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications to maintain the IP 66/67/69 protection rating and prevent moisture ingress.
