Winning the war against
electromagnetic interference (EMI) on today’s factory floors requires attention
to detail. One of those details involves the ability of cable glands to
contribute to a reliable grounding system.
Left unprotected, cable glands
transmit electrical noise that can wreak havoc on motor-driven industrial
processes. Many types of cable glands feature shielding to keep EMI at bay, yet
the effectiveness of that shielding can
vary widely from product to product.
The ease of installation can
vary as well. Some sheilding options have difficult termination methods or
grounding conntections that can drive up labor cost and time.
With SKINTOP® MS-M Brush, our engineers have addressed both
the shielding and installation issues. As its name suggests, this cable gland
features a brush-type grounding connection that:
• Enhances EMI control. Unlike other
connection methods, such as the grounding clamps commonly used on drive systems,
the brush provides continuous 360° contact around the cable’s screen braid.
This continuous contact protects against EMI by lowering the resistance of
current ground path and providing a low impedance connection between the cable
shield and the housing.
• Eases Installation. Making an EMI-free
connection between cable and the SKINTOP cable gland is simple. Installers
simply insert the cable, push the screen braid into the brush and tighten the
cable gland assembly. Other grounding methods require far more effort to make
the termination. Earth sleeves, for example, can serve as an effective
grounding method, but their termination process requires precision measurments
and exacting preparation of the stripped area.
In addition to its innovative
brush-type connection, SKINTOP®
MS-M Brush offers IP 68 protection and resists temperatures up to 100ºC.
Until recently, it was available only in metric sizes, ranging from M–25X1.5 to
M–110X2.0. This month, we’ve introduced NPT sizes from ¾” to 2”.
