Rutaseal M63 cable grommet

Treotham Automation is expanding the Rutaseal grommet range with an M63 version. This size will handle larger cable and pipes with a diameter of 34-45 mm.

The EPDM version is available in grey (RAL7001), light grey (RAL 7035) and black (RAL 9005) and the Chloroprene version is available in black (RAL 9005). The version is SEMKO approved for IP67.

The grommet is installed from one side only, sealed from the beginning with a push-out membrane that is removed by installing the cable. It is self-adjusting to both wall thickness and cable diameter.

The grommet is suitable for outdoor use. Compared to plastics, rubber is less likely to dry, crack and come lose, and is very resistant to UV light and ozone.

Since the material is soft it is suitable for use on curved surfaces as it will adapt to the shape of the surface.

In many cases users do not need IP68 cable glands. Glands are more time consuming to install, often need access from both sides during installation and have very large protrusion. It is often enough with IP67 - cables are often fixed in the enclosure and to a wall going into the box - making a grommet a suitable sealing solution.

The Chloroprene version is also DNV approved for marine and offshore installations.
