Why Choose the ABB EMSKV16/5 Metallic Compression Gland?
The ABB EMSKV16/5 is a robust metallic compression cable gland designed to provide secure cable entry into electrical enclosures and industrial equipment. Part of ABB's enclosure accessory range within the 311019-Metal Enclosed (Loadbreak) product group, it combines durable metallic construction with an IP68 protection rating for demanding electrical installations.
Designed for cables with an outside diameter of 5–9 mm, the EMSKV16/5 uses an M16 metric thread and provides mechanical retention around the cable at the enclosure entry point. Its compression-gland design makes it suitable for panel building, switchgear, industrial control equipment and metal-enclosed electrical installations where reliable cable entry and environmental protection are required.
The IP68-rated construction provides a high degree of protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed as part of a suitable enclosure system. The EMSKV16/5 is therefore a practical ABB accessory for industrial installations requiring a durable metallic cable gland for 5–9 mm cable diameters.
