A special new type of cable gland with integral cable grip was designed by Bals in 2002.
The special threaded fitting is secured with a saw tooth thread which prevents self-induced or unintentional loosening whilst handling the connector.
The permanently fixed rubber seal simplifies the connection process as there are no loose components or rubber ‘onion rings’ to adapt to the cable diameter.
Flexible fins adapt themselves to the diameter of the cable, pressing the rubber seal firmly and accurately against the sheath of the cable when the gland is tightened.
Multi Grip cable gland achieves at least IP67 protection when correctly installed.
Water will not remain in the flared opening, as it is removed through the drainage holes.
Water and dirt is prevented from entering the inner connection space, even when the cable is moved.
The tensile strength exceeds the values required by the latest Norms IEC60309, EN60309 and VDE 0623.
The status of the cable grip can be controlled externally at any time without the need to open the plug or connector.
