Bell Mouth Strain Relief Bushings
Also referred to as bell‑mouth cable entry bushings or Heyco original strain relief, these precision‑engineered inserts are crafted from UL 94 V‑2 rated Nylon 6/6. They facilitate a smooth, protective "lazy‑bend" for cables exiting panels. By relieving tension and preventing sharp kinks, these bushings extend cable life in switchgear, control panels, machinery, appliance wiring, renewable energy systems, rail and marine installations throughout the UK. They absorb vibration, shock, and axial strain—rock‑solid protection for OEMs, installers and maintenance engineers seeking durable cable solutions. Vital Parts offers these as a cost‑effective alternative to snap‑in Lockit types, installed securely with pliers.
