Lapp SKINTOP ST-M 20x1.5 Polyamide Cable Gland, Silver, RAL 7001

The Lapp SKINTOP ST-M 20x1.5 is a high-quality polyamide cable gland designed to provide secure cable entry and effective strain relief in various electrical installations. Finished in a professional silver color (RAL 7001), this component is engineered for durability and reliable performance in demanding environments. It features a metric M20 connection thread, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial housings and equipment.

Advantages

This cable gland offers exceptional functional reliability due to its high resistance to oils and chemicals. The design incorporates a wide and variable clamping range, which allows for flexible installation while maintaining an optimal grip on the cable. Furthermore, the construction provides permanent vibration protection, ensuring that connections remain secure even in environments subject to mechanical stress. The compact design is specifically optimized for applications where space is limited but high-density cable management is required.

Suitable for

• Machine and equipment manufacturing
• Photovoltaic systems
• Automation technology
• Off-shore plants and shipbuilding
• Industrial housing with limited space

This product may not be suitable for applications involving extreme temperatures that exceed the thermal limits of polyamide material. Additionally, it is not intended for use in high-pressure steam cleaning environments or areas where the cable diameter falls outside the specified clamping range of the gland.

Key specifications

• Thread type: Metric M20 x 1.5
• Material: Polyamide
• Color: Silver (RAL 7001)
• Vibration protection: Integrated
• Chemical resistance: High oil resistance

To install the Lapp SKINTOP ST-M, insert the cable through the gland into the housing and tighten the cap nut to the required torque. This action compresses the internal seal around the cable, providing both strain relief and environmental protection. Ensure that the connection thread is properly aligned with the housing port before tightening to prevent cross-threading.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your cable matches the clamping range of the M20 size.
• Ensure the housing wall thickness is compatible with the standard connection thread length.
• Consider purchasing the compatible SKINTOP GMP-GL-M counter nut for a secure fit.
• Check if your specific application requires additional sealing inserts or accessories.

For optimal performance and long-term reliability, ensure the gland is tightened according to standard industrial practices and periodically inspect the connection for signs of mechanical wear or environmental degradation.
