New water-tight cable glands are EMC compliant

Anixter Components (formerly Heyco) has released a new range of water-tight, EMC-compliant cable glands that are easy to install and save OEMs valuable time. The range is available in all popular thread types and sizes and presents a reliable low-Ohm EMC shield for use in a variety of applications including power plants, railway cars, control cabinets and plant equipment amongst others. This range is designed for use with SY and CY braided control cables, or any cable type that requires the braiding to be grounded through the gland. Two styles are available: the conventional EMC series with a removable insert to wrap the braiding around and the quick-fit EMC-D version designed for the rapid installation of cables. The EMC-D series incorporates a metal-coated nylon insert that compresses around the cable braid when the fitting is tightened, eliminating the need to disassemble the gland. This offers considerable time savings during installation and also enables rapid removal of the cable during maintenance or repair. Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director of Anixter Components said: “The time savings offered by the EMC-D series over a traditional gland are so significant that they should be a major factor in any customers’ purchasing decision.” The range is available in sizes ranging from M12 to M63 and Pg7 to Pg48. It can accommodate cable diameters of 2.0 to 44.0mm and can withstand temperatures from -40 to +100 degrees C. All components are finished in premium nickel-plated brass and are sealed to IP68/69K standards as well as carrying UL, CSA, VDE, CE and Germanischer Lloyd approvals.
