läpivientiliittimille

Läpivientiliittimet, often translated as cable glands or conduit fittings, are mechanical devices designed to secure and protect electrical cables or pipes as they pass through a wall, enclosure, or housing. Their primary function is to provide a sealed entry point, preventing the ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants, while also preventing the cable from being damaged by abrasion or stress at the entry point.

These fittings are crucial in maintaining the integrity of electrical systems and ensuring safety. They come in various materials, including metal (like brass or stainless steel) and plastic (like nylon or PVC), chosen based on the environmental conditions, chemical exposure, and required mechanical strength. The selection of the appropriate läpivientiliitin depends on factors such as the cable diameter, the material of the enclosure, and the environmental rating required (e.g., IP rating for dust and water protection).

Läpivientiliittimet typically consist of a body, a sealing grommet or O-ring, and a locking nut or clamping mechanism. When installed, the cable passes through the grommet, which then seals around the cable. The locking nut tightens onto the enclosure, creating a secure and watertight or dust-tight seal. They are widely used in industrial machinery, control cabinets, outdoor electrical installations, and any application where cables need to pass through a barrier while maintaining protection and strain relief.
