Overview

The ABB BEM-M321 EMC Cable Gland is a precision-engineered brass gland designed for secure cable entry with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding. Part of ABB’s BEM series, this gland features an M32x1.5 metric thread for panel mounting, accommodating cable diameters from 16mm to 25mm and shield ranges from 12mm to 20mm. The 9mm thread length ensures reliable engagement with enclosures, while the nickel-plated brass construction delivers corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in industrial environments. Key specifications include a clamping range of 16-25mm for the outer cable diameter and 12-20mm for the shield, making it ideal for shielded and screened cables. The gland’s compact design (53mm nominal length, 43.5mm width) allows for efficient use of panel space without compromising performance. The gland’s robust construction ensures long-term reliability, even in harsh conditions with exposure to moisture, dust, or mechanical stress. For optimal performance, ensure proper cable preparation and torque specifications during installation to maintain EMC shielding integrity.
