How can you modify enclosure knockouts to fit different cable glands?
Short answer
To reduce the size of a limited number of knockouts so they fit your cable glands, the most reliable and cost-efficient solution is a reducer, which maintains a suitable IP rating and keeps the enclosure's functionality intact. We supply polyamide reducers as accessories for M16, M20, M25 and M32 metric threads. Reducers are not an option if the knockouts need to be enlarged, or if you need to modify the entries on a large number of enclosures. In those cases a bespoke design is a better alternative, and our in-house CNC capabilities allow us to design and manufacture enclosures with the right entry options in volume.
If you need to reduce the size of a limited number of enclosure knockouts to fit cable glands, the most reliable and cost-efficient solution is to use reducers. In this way, it is possible to maintain a suitable IP rating and keep the enclosure’s functionality intact.
We can supply a wide range of polyamide reducers as accessories to help you modify the metric thread size of a given knockout. More precisely, we can handle M16, M20, M25 and M32 metric threads.
If the knockouts of a standard enclosure need to be enlarged, or you need to modify the entry on a large number of enclosures, the use of reducers is no longer a feasible option. In these cases, a bespoke design offers a better alternative.
We can support you in these situations too. Thanks to our in-house CNC capabilities, our team can promptly design and manufacture high volumes of enclosures with the right entry options to suit your specific cable gland requirements.
Before proceeding with large-scale production of bespoke enclosures, we can first deliver a free sample for you to look at and inspect.
