To install a cable gland, access is always required from both the inside and the outside. Traditionally, installation is carried out through a circular hole and secured with a lock nut from the inside of the control cabinet or terminal box. Unlike with the standard cable gland, the half-gland does not require a lock nut, as the terminal box already has a male thread on the outside. It therefore only needs to be screwed in from the outside. One of the key advantages is that, thanks to the minimal space required inside the terminal box and the option of external mounting, the space inside can be used optimally. The reduction in pitch distances allows for tighter spacing here. Even with its lower overall height, the half-screw connection can be used in various clamping ranges and offers the same IP rating (IP68, 5 bar, 30 minutes) and UL approval (514B) as a standard cable gland. With automated external assembly and a small number of components, the half-screw-type cable gland enables reduced assembly times as well as a simple and cost-effective design…
