Cable glands – small details that determine operational reliability

Cable glands – Homepage

Cable glands are a small but critical part of every control cabinet. The right choice affects the tightness, strain relief and service life of the entire installation. Bimed offers cable glands for industry and automation where the demands on quality and reliability are high. Here we go through what you should consider when choosing the right solution.

Cable glands from Bimed

Bimed has a wide range of cable glands adapted for different environments and applications.

They are often used in:

Technical advantages

  • Secure seal against dust and moisture
  • Effective strain relief
  • High mechanical strength
  • Solutions for both standard and EMC requirements

Choose the right material for the right environment

The choice of material affects both function and lifespan:

  • Plastic – lightweight and corrosion-free for standard environments
  • Brass – robust for industrial use
  • Stainless steel – for aggressive and hygienic environments

The right material reduces the risk of future problems.

Density and IP class

The cable gland is crucial for achieving the correct IP class in the enclosure.

The wrong choice can lead to:

  • Reduced protection class
  • Moisture penetration
  • Operational disruptions

Bimed offers solutions that meet high requirements for tightness.

When is EMC gland required?

In installations with sensitive electronics or high EMC requirements, the correct screw connection is crucial.

EMC cable glands are used when:

  • Shielded cables are connected
  • Electromagnetic interference must be minimized
  • EMC requirements are imposed on the entire system

Correct shield contact is then an important part of the solution – See cable glands in EMC.
