Product Information

Full details

This LAPP SKINTOP ST-M Series cable gland is designed for professionals in mechanical engineering, plant construction, automation, and electrical engineering who need a robust and versatile solution for inserting cables into housings. Its key benefit is its high level of protection (IP69K) and broad clamping range, offering flexibility with fewer sizes. A potential caveat is the specific metric thread size, requiring compatibility with M40 entry points.

What is the benefit of the SKINTOP ST-M series having a wide clamping range?

Troubleshooting

Cable gland does not seal properly

Ensure the cable is within the specified clamping range (19-28mm for M40). Verify the sealing ring is fully tightened onto the gland body and that the cable sheath is smooth and undamaged.

Difficulty screwing gland into enclosure

Confirm the enclosure has an M40x1.5 metric thread. Check for any debris or damage in the enclosure's threaded hole.

Cable slips after tightening

The internal lamellas may not be gripping the cable sufficiently. Ensure the cable is clean and not excessively flexible. Re-tighten the sealing ring firmly.

Gland cracked or damaged

Inspect for signs of over-tightening or impact damage. Replace the gland if any cracks are visible. Ensure correct installation torque is applied in the future.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning (IP69K)
  • Durable and robust polyamide material
  • Versatile clamping range reduces inventory needs
  • Suitable for a wide array of industrial applications
  • Wide operating temperature range for various environments
  • Easy and quick to assemble

Cons

  • Specific M40 thread size limits compatibility with non-M40 entry points
  • Sold in packs of 10, which might be too many for small projects
  • Polyamide may not be suitable for all extreme chemical environments
  • Length of 52mm may be a constraint in very confined spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the enclosure or housing has a pre-drilled M40 threaded entry.
  2. Insert the cable through the cable gland.
  3. Screw the cable gland into the M40 threaded entry until snug. Do not overtighten.
  4. Tighten the sealing ring onto the gland body to secure the cable and achieve the desired seal. The internal lamellas press the sealing insert around the cable.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: Compatible with M40x1.5 metric threads. Ensure your enclosure has a corresponding entry.
  • Cable Diameter: Suitable for cables with diameters ranging from 19 mm to 28 mm for this specific M40 model.
  • Material: Polyamide construction is suitable for most industrial environments but check compatibility if exposed to aggressive chemicals.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically inspect the gland for signs of damage or wear, especially after high-pressure cleaning cycles. Ensure the seal remains intact around the cable.
