Product Overview
Designed for demanding dynamic applications, our Nickel-Plated Brass Spiral Anti-Bending Cable Gland delivers superior strain relief, vibration resistance, and environmental sealing. Frequent cable flexing and pulling at entry points can lead to wire sheath tear and internal copper fatigue. The extended spiral spring tail gradually absorbs bending stress, expanding the cable’s minimum bend radius to dramatically prolong service life.
Crafted with premium nickel-plated brass, this gland offers excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical toughness. Inside, a flame-retardant Nylon (UL94-V2) clamping sleeve combined with high-grade Nitrile or Silicone rubber seals guarantees an IP68 ingress protection rating. Able to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to 100°C (and short-term spikes up to 120°C), it is the ultimate cable protection solution for automation, robotics, and mobile industrial equipment.
Key Features
-
Anti-Bending Spiral Strain Relief: Extended spiral neck flexes smoothly with cable movement, preventing sharp kinks, conductor fatigue, and outer sheath rupture.
-
IP68 Ingress Protection: High-density Nitrile / Silicone rubber hermetic seals deliver 100% dustproof performance and continuous underwater waterproofing.
-
Rugged Nickel-Plated Brass Body: Provides superior mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic conductivity compared to standard plastic fittings.
-
Flame-Retardant Inner Core: Built with high-grade Nylon PA66 (UL94-V2 rated) clamping claws for strong tensile pull-out protection without damaging the wire.
-

Product FAQs
Q1: How does the spiral structure protect flexible cables better than standard cable glands?
A1: Standard rigid cable glands concentrate all bending force on the single point where the cable leaves the fitting. The extended spiral tail dissipates lateral strain over a longer distance, enforcing a safe bending radius and preventing the internal copper wires from breaking under repetitive flex cycles.
Q2: What sealing ring materials are available, and how do I choose?
A2: We offer both Nitrile Rubber (NBR) and Silicone Rubber hermetic seals. Nitrile rubber is highly resistant to mineral oils, solvents, and mechanical abrasion, making it ideal for general industrial automation. Silicone rubber excels in wider thermal variations and harsh outdoor weathering.
Q3: Can this spiral cable gland maintain its IP68 waterproof rating during continuous cable flexing?
A3: Yes. The combination of our UL94-V2 nylon clamping claws and high-elasticity rubber seal maintains constant 360-degree radial compression around the cable jacket, ensuring full IP68 water and dust tightness even when the cable is pulled at steep angles.
