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:
- Cabinets and enclosures
- Machinery and production equipment
- Electrical and control installations
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.
