Cable Routing
Over time, liquid contaminants such as oil and cleaning solutions may accumulate on the cables and
onto the cable glands. To minimize the introduction of contaminants to the cable glands, mounting
the actuator with the cable gland down is best. Mounting with the cable gland to the side requires a
bend or drip loop. It is not recommended to the mount the actuator in an orientation that faces the
cable gland upwards. If mounting the actuator with the cable gland facing upwards is unavoidable,
the cable should be routed with a drip loop prior to entering the cable gland.
Examples are shown depending on the orientation of the cable glands. Units mounted with the cable
glands on the bottom surface of the actuator require no looping.

Figure 2-3:
1.
Preferred cable gland orientation is below the actuator and does not require loops or
bends.
2.
Cable glands at the side requires bends or loops in the cable.
3.
If the cable glands must
be at the top of the actuator a loop in the cable must be added.
4.
Cable glands at the top without a
loop are not recommended.
