Treotham Automation has released the new LAPP SKINTOP cable gland solution, featuring a bending protection spiral and an EMC contact spring.

In assembly, almost nothing is possible without cable glands. They connect the cable and housing firmly and tightly to one another, protect against mechanical influences, dust and moisture and achieve cable strain relief.

There are different designs depending on the application. Treotham has recently expanded its product portfolio to include a brass LAPP cable gland with a bending protection spiral and optimum protection against electromagnetic interference, as well as an M32 thread with an extended clamping range.

With the new brass cable gland with stainless steel bending protection spiral SKINTOP BS-SC-M METAL, it will be difficult to span the proverbial bow. The special design of the stainless-steel spiral is developed for use on moving machine parts and protects the moving cable on the connection housing from excessive bending or even kinking.

The cable gland can withstand high mechanical loads and allows a high number of bending cycles. This provides additional protection against breakage of wires and guarantees their function.

A special feature of this newly developed cable gland is the integrated highly conductive and flexible contact spring that contacts the copper-stranded shielding over a large area and therefore earths the cable via the gland on the housing. This makes the SKINTOP BS-SC-M METAL suitable for EMC-compliant insertion of copper-shielded cables and offers optimum protection against electromagnetic interference – wherever a low-resistance transition from the cable shield to the housing is to be established.

Additionally, the cable gland offers a wide, variable clamping range for different cable outer diameters, as well as a variant with a reduced sealing insert to seal cables with smaller diameters. The cable gland has been specially developed for use on moving machine parts and is also suitable for outdoor use thanks to its protection class IP 68 (ten bar) and IP 69.
