Overview

The ABB FSCG-M161 is a non-armoured cable gland designed for food and beverage industry applications. Constructed from stainless steel, this gland provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet, washdown, or chemically aggressive environments common in food processing, dairy, breweries, and beverage production. The M16 thread size ensures compatibility with standard conduit systems and equipment enclosures, while the 7mm thread length provides secure mechanical retention without over-tightening. Cable range of 5 to 10mm accommodates common sensor, control, and power cables used in automated production lines, ensuring a tight seal around cable jackets to prevent ingress of moisture, dust, or contaminants. Unlike armoured glands, this non-armoured version simplifies installation in tight spaces where armour termination is unnecessary, reducing labor time and component count. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from frequent cleaning with caustic or acidic sanitizers, maintaining long-term performance in hygienic environments. This gland meets food and beverage industry standards for washdown resistance and material safety, making it suitable for installation near processing equipment, conveyors, or packaging machines where reliability under repeated exposure to water and cleaning agents is critical.
