Lapp Skintop MS-M Brush cable gland

Lapp Group’s Skintop MS-M Brush has a 360° brush contact design for optimal low-resistance screen contact in a cable gland. With full grounding coverage, the potential for EMI interruptions and equipment failure is eliminated.

The Skintop MS-M Brush offers a quick and reliable alternative to the traditional electromagnetic interference (EMI) ‘spring’ contact cable gland design. The new design features thousands of brush strands in a circular arrangement, which provide a wider and more variable clamping range, making assembly and installation faster and simpler. The high level of assembly flexibility allows for easy adjustment and rotation of the cable during installation.

Terminating the Skintop MS-M Brush cable gland can be completed in a single operation. Installers enter the cable into the gland, slide the screening braid under the brush, turn to close and the cable is automatically centred, fixed, strain relieved and hermetically sealed up to protection class IP68.

Available in metric sizes ranging from M25X1.5 to M110x2.0, the Skintop MS-M Brush accommodates a broad range of cable sizes spanning from 9 to 98 mm in diameter. Larger M75X1.5, M90X1.5 and M110X2.0 sizes feature Lapp’s patented dual lamella clamping cage which provides added stability and reliability in handling heavy cables.

The benefit of using a brush attachment system is that an optimal low resistance screen contact is achieved. In addition, it allows a high level of assembly flexibility, thereby allowing easy adjustment and rotation of the cable during installation.
