Counternuts

Cable gland counternuts—available in plastic, metal, and EMC variants—are essential accessories used to securely fasten cable glands, ensuring a reliable and safe connection between cables and enclosures. These components provide strain relief, prevent loosening under vibration, and protect the integrity of the electrical system.

Technical Specifications:

Material Options:

• Nickel-Plated Brass: Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, ideal for industrial environments requiring durability.
• Plastic (Polyamide - PA): A lightweight and cost-effective alternative, offering reliable performance in less demanding environments. Plastic counternuts are UV-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
• Stainless Steel (EMC): Designed to provide electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding, these variants offer superior protection in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring uninterrupted signal integrity.

Temperature Resistance:

• Plastic Counternuts: Suitable for operating temperatures between -40°C and +100°C, making them appropriate for a wide range of environments.
• Metal Counternuts: Designed to withstand temperatures up to +200°C, ideal for high-temperature industrial applications.
• EMC Counternuts: Built with robust stainless steel, these couplers maintain shielding performance across a broad temperature spectrum typical of high-EMI applications.

Applications:

• Industrial Automation: Providing secure cable connections in control panels, machinery, and robotic systems.
• Telecommunications: Ensuring high-performance and durable connections for communication systems.
• Outdoor and Harsh Environments: Plastic counternuts are especially suitable for environments where UV resistance and lightweight materials are important.
• Marine and Offshore: Metal variants offer enhanced protection against corrosion, ideal for harsh marine environments.
• EMC-Sensitive Installations: EMC counternuts are ideal for applications requiring shielding from electromagnetic interference, such as data centers, renewable energy systems, and sensitive signal transmission infrastructure.
