A SKINTOP® gland for every application
For extreme sub-zero temperatures of up to -70°C, you can rely on cold-resistant LAPP cable glands such as the SKINTOP® COLD. For extreme plus temperatures of up to +200°C, we recommend the SKINDICHT® SHV-M FKM.
Cable glands with flame-retardant properties are absolutely relevant to safety in areas with high potential hazard in the event of a fire. Cable glands with halogen-free and highly flame-retardant components are therefore suitable for areas at risk of fire. They reduce the risk of flame propagation, high smoke density and toxic flue gases in the event of a fire.
In rail vehicles in particular, the fire behaviour of all installed components is strictly tested. EN 45545-2 contains the technical requirements for these components.
The UL 94, a testing method for the flammability of plastics, divides the plastics into flammability classes and is often requested when plastic cable glands are used.
Smooth surfaces and contours without corners or edges prevent residues such as liquids and micro-organisms from accumulating on a cable gland and there is a risk of contamination for food in the processing facility. As all food processing plants are regularly cleaned with hot water or water steam or by foaming and aggressive disinfectants are used, standard suitability for the food industry is only achieved using stainless steel cable glands.
- Please ensure certification in accordance with the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) standard if the cable gland is to be used in hygiene-critical areas.
- The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) specifies the NSF/ANSI 169 - 2016 standard for materials intended for use in the food industry in the USA.
- ECOLAB Inc. is a manufacturer of cleaning agents and disinfectants for the gastronomy, food industry and agriculture. The ECOLAB® certification is recognised worldwide. ECOLAB® certified cable glands are resistant to ECOLAB® disinfectant and cleaning agents.
In chemical factories or filling stations, explosive gases can form, for example during the generation and filling of fuels. However, precautions must also be taken in the production of sugar and flour to prevent dust explosions. In order to be able to rule out any ignition source, all construction materials used in this particular environment must have their properties comply with the standards that have been set up to prevent accidents.
ATEX stands for “ATmosphères Explosibles”. The LAPP cable entries with the addition "ATEX" meet the explosion protection requirements in accordance with DIN EN IEC 60079-0 and DIN EN IEC 60079-7 and are therefore suitable for use in explosive atmospheres (ignition protection type "Enhanced safety" ("e")).
