kaapeliläpivientiä

Kaapeliläpivienti is a Finnish term that translates to "cable gland" or "cable entry" in English. It refers to a device used to secure and protect the entry point of a cable into an enclosure, such as an electrical cabinet, machine housing, or junction box. The primary functions of a kaapeliläpivienti are to provide mechanical strain relief, prevent dust and moisture ingress, and sometimes to offer electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

These devices are typically made from materials like plastic, metal (e.g., brass, stainless steel, aluminum), or rubber, depending on the application environment and required properties. They consist of a body, a sealing mechanism (often a rubber gasket or O-ring), and a clamping nut or locking mechanism. When a cable is passed through the kaapeliläpivienti, the clamping nut is tightened, compressing the sealing element around the cable. This creates a tight seal and holds the cable firmly in place, preventing it from being pulled or vibrated loose.

Kaapeliläpiviennit are essential components in electrical and electronic installations for safety, reliability, and compliance with various industry standards. They are available in a wide range of sizes and thread types to accommodate different cable diameters and enclosure openings. The selection of the appropriate kaapeliläpivienti depends on factors such as the size and type of cable, the environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, exposure to chemicals), and the required level of protection (e.g., IP rating).
