Locknut, nylon, black, PG16, IP68

LAPP SKINTOP Series Cable Gland Locknut, PG16 Thread Size, Black - 53019240

This cable gland locknut is a hexagonal securing nut designed to retain cable glands where only a pass-through aperture is available. Manufactured in glass Fibre reinforced polyamide, it provides enhanced fixation for threaded glands and is suitable for industrial environments requiring vibration-resistant attachment. The product is available in a black finish and meets recognised CE and UL approvals for use with compatible polyamide cable glands.

What environments is it designed to withstand?

It is specified for use in applications requiring IP68 ingress protection, including dust-tight locations and temporary immersion scenarios, and it tolerates operating temperatures between -20 and 100°C.

Which material characteristics aid longevity under mechanical stress?

The nut is MADE from glass Fibre reinforced polyamide with a V-2 flammability characteristic per UL94, providing improved tensile and impact resistance over unfilled polyamide.

How does the design help reduce vibration loosening?

The hexagonal form permits firm torque application during installation, increasing clamping force on the gland thread to reduce movement from vibration.

What installation sizes are supported for similar locknuts in this family?

Comparable locknuts cover a range from PG7 up to PG48, with PG16 available for this specific configuration.
