Lapp has developed a new version of its Skintop cable gland with a unique brush connecting system for larger diameter cables.

The Skintop MS-SC-M brush is specially designed for use with copper braid screen cable with external diameters of between 11 and 45 mm, available in metric threads from 32 to 63 mm. Lapp’s brush system is EMC-safe and offers a quick and reliable alternative to the traditional ‘spring’ contact method. The new cable gland features thousands of brush strands in a circular arrangement which the manufacturer claims provide a wider and more variable clamping range and make assembly, disassembly and installation simpler and faster.

Fitting the cable gland can be completed in a single operation, by simply inserting the cable into the gland, sliding the screening braid under the brush and turning to close; the cable is automatically centred, fixed, strain relieved and hermetically sealed up to protection class IP68. A further benefit of using a brush attachment system is that a low-resistance screen contact is achieved. In addition, it allows a high level of assembly flexibility, thereby allowing easy adjustment and rotation of the cable during installation.
