Mounting cable gland
Figure 29: Encoder installed in the hydraulic cylinder with cable connection and cable
gland
1.
Guide the cable through the cable gland.
2.
Mount the cable gland through the threaded bore.
3.
Secure the tapered seal and coupling nut.
4.
Follow the additional steps: See document “Quickstart” 8021471 on the product
pages of the MAX
®
5.
Use a specially prepared sleeve (e.g., made from polyamide) to locate the device in
its final position.
NOTE
Observe the tightening torque of 4 Nm.
Recommendations regarding the cable gland
For devices with a cable connection, a protection class rated (preferably IP68) metallic
cable gland should be used for sealing and strain relief. The cable glands should also
be protected against damage by surrounding them with steel profiles (e.g. U-steel).
A suitable cable gland is available as an accessory, product pages of the MAX

Recommendations regarding male device connectors for devices with a cable connec‐
tion
When mounting male device connectors on devices with a cable connection, please
consider the following:
•
Enclosure rating: (preferably IP68)
•
Male connector housing: metal or impact-resistant plastic (check media resist‐
ance)
•
Protect against external influences: enclose the cable sheath and male connector
•
Prevent fluid ingress: the cable sheath should ideally be coated with sealing
compound at offset locations
•
Polarity: ensure correct polarity
•
Male connector with screw terminals: apply ferrules and clamp all strands in the
ferrule
•
Soldered connections: no projecting strands or “cold joints”
•
Crimp contacts: use a suitable tool to produce a gas-tight crimp
•
ESD protection: protect workplaces and persons from electrostatic discharge
•
Prevent fluid ingress: use suitable caps to seal the male connector after mounting
