Altech® ATEX polyamide strain reliefs for cable entries provide increased safety in explosion-endangered areas by eliminating any potential for arcs, sparks, or hot surfaces. These IP68-rated strain reliefs with neoprene seals promote optimized sealing and protection against contaminants and additionally reduce stress on components and terminal points in machine and device applications across industries.

ATEX-Strain-Reliefs

Altech ATEX polyamide strain reliefs are available with NPT threads (3/8” to 1”) or metric threads (M12 to M63). The trapezoidal threads contribute high torque for a tight and permanent fit of the dome nut. Wide clamping ranges (from 2.5-6.5mm to 35-48mm, depending on type) ensure maximum strain relief in service.

Mounting is accomplished easily using a flat seal and metal locknut. Upon installation, the strain reliefs offer ideal gas- and water-tight solutions with the capability to perform over a broad temperature range (from -20ºC to 60ºC and -4ºF to 140ºF).

Custom products, including strain reliefs with extended threads, can be developed to satisfy particular application requirements.
