Product Overview
The Type E is the EMC version of our hygienic cable gland. It seals cable entries to the same hygienic standard as the Type S – SS316L (1.4404) body, blue FDA seals, IP68/IP69K – and adds electromagnetic shielding for equipment that must meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. It suits food, beverage and pharmaceutical machinery built around sensitive electronics.
What the EMC version adds
On top of the standard hygienic gland, the Type E provides electromagnetic shielding for the cable, helping keep electromagnetic interference from coupling into, or radiating out of, your cabling. Everything that makes the Type S hygienic stays the same – the curved SS316L body, double sealing ring, blue FDA seals and IP68/IP69K rating – so you get EMC performance without giving up cleanability or ingress protection.
Why it matters
Modern food and pharma lines are full of sensitive electronics: sensors, drives, servo motors, weighing and vision systems. Electromagnetic interference can cause signal errors and nuisance trips, and equipment may need to pass EMC testing. The Type E addresses this at the cable entry, in a gland that still passes hygienic washdown.
Typical applications
EMC-relevant hygienic equipment: instrumentation and sensor cabinets, motor and drive connections, precision pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing, packaging machinery with variable-frequency drives, and washdown enclosures that must meet EMC requirements.
Installation
The Type E installs like the Type S; the anti-rotation insert holds the cable steady as you tighten the pressure screw. Make sure the cable shield is properly terminated for your EMC setup before final sealing.
Why VAYTRON
Same integrated manufacturing, OEM support and 3-A / FDA documentation as the Type S, with EMC shielding added; custom threads and quantities on request.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HNBR and EPDM seals?
HNBR: High mechanical strength and good resistance to oil, heat, wear, ozone, and ageing. Well suited to demanding sealing applications involving oils and lubricants.
EPDM: Excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, hot water, and steam, with good flexibility at low temperatures. Generally unsuitable for petroleum-based oils and fuels.
Based on our market observations, HNBR seals are common in food-processing equipment and EPDM seals in pharmaceutical equipment. For other applications, contact us to confirm the suitable material.
Does the EMC version stay hygienic?
Yes – the same hygienic SS316L design, blue FDA seals and IP69K rating as the standard Type S; the shielding is internal.
When do I need Type E instead of Type S?
When the enclosure or cable run must meet EMC/EMI requirements, or when you see interference on sensors, drives or instrumentation. For ordinary hygienic sealing, the Type S is enough.
Which thread sizes and cable ranges are available?
Type E is available in M16×1.5, M20×1.5, M25×1.5 and M32×2.0, covering cable diameters from 4 to 25 mm. Select the exact cable range from the dimensions table above.
