Product Overview
The Stainless Steel Cable Gland (XW-BT Series) offers a robust, corrosion-resistant, and high-tensile sealing solution for critical electrical connections in challenging environments. Built with 304 stainless steel, a PA66 flame-retardant internal core, and durable Nitrile rubber (NBR) seals, this fitting secures cables against high pressure, water ingress, and mechanical strain.
CE and RoHS certified, it delivers an IP68 protection rating suitable for continuous submersion and salt-spray heavy duty operations. Resistant to weak acids, alkalis, alcohol, oils, and common solvents, it supports Metric (standard M20x1.5), PG, G (PF), and NPT threads for seamless global equipment integration.
Key Features
-
Heavy-Duty 304 Stainless Steel: Outstanding resistance to salt spray, chemical corrosion, and mechanical impacts in severe outdoor conditions.
-
High-Tensile Cable Clamping: Specialized PA66 claw design provides strong cable grip and strain relief without damaging the cable sheath.
-
IP68 Water & Dust Tight: High-elasticity seals ensure complete protection against high-pressure water jets and continuous submersion.
-
Wide Thermal Tolerance: Standard static range from -40°C to 100°C (instantaneous heat to 120°C); customizable ultra-wide tolerance from -60°C to 220°C.
-
Global Thread Versatility: Full selection of Metric, PG, G (PF), and NPT thread profiles available to match international panel cutouts.
-
Customizable Seals: Standard NBR seals, with optional high-temperature Silicone or acid/solvent-resistant Fluororubber (FKM) gaskets upon request.
Applications
-
Chemical & Petrochemical Processing: Junction boxes and enclosures operating in aggressive chemical vapors and wet environments.
-
Marine & Offshore Facilities: Shipboard wiring, port infrastructure, and offshore platforms exposed to intense salt fog and wave action.
-
Heavy Industrial Machinery: Mining equipment, outdoor power cabinets, and processing plants requiring rugged physical protection.
Product FAQs
Q1: How do I read the selection model code for this stainless steel cable gland?
A1: Model codes follow a standardized format (e.g., XW-BT.M20*1.5(6-12)-Ss). XW is the company code, BT denotes the connector series, M20*1.5 specifies thread pitch, (6-12) is the cable clamping outer diameter range in mm, and Ss represents 304 Stainless Steel material.
Q2: What thread options are available for international orders?
A2: While Metric M20x1.5 is our standard stock configuration, we provide PG, G (PF), and NPT thread options to ensure compatibility with European, Asian, and American equipment specifications.
Q3: When should I choose optional Fluororubber (FKM) seals over standard NBR seals?
A3: Standard NBR seals perform reliably between -40°C and 100°C in water and general oil environments. Choose customized Fluororubber (FKM) seals if the installation is exposed to severe heat (up to 220°C) or strong acids and chemical solvents.
