High-Performance Industrial Cable Glands: Unrivaled Protection and Strain Relief
Product Overview
Our premium range of Industrial Cable Glands provides an essential solution for securing cables entering electrical enclosures, machinery, and control panels. Engineered for superior performance in demanding environments, these cable glands offer robust protection against dust, water, chemicals, and mechanical stress, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your electrical installations. From providing critical strain relief to maintaining high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings, our cable glands are the first line of defense for your sensitive electronics.
Key Features & Specifications
- Robust Construction:
- Materials: Available in high-grade Polyamide (Nylon PA6), Nickel-Plated Brass, and Stainless Steel (304 & 316L) to suit various environmental and chemical resistance requirements.
- Durability: Designed to withstand heavy impact, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
- Superior Sealing & IP Rating:
- High IP Ratings: Achieve IP68 (up to 10 bar) and IP69K ratings, providing complete protection against dust ingress and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
- Gasket & Sealing Ring: Equipped with high-quality NBR, EPDM, or Silicone sealing rings for a watertight and airtight seal around the cable.
- Exceptional Strain Relief:
- Clamping Mechanism: Advanced internal clamping jaws (collet design) prevent cable pull-out and protect against bending, twisting, and cable fatigue, significantly extending cable lifespan.
- Anti-Vibration Lock Nut: Ensures a secure, vibration-proof connection to the enclosure.
- Wide Thread Compatibility:
- Thread Types: Available with Metric (M), PG (Panzergewinde), NPT (National Pipe Taper), and G (BSP) threads to ensure compatibility with global standards and existing equipment.
- Sizes: A comprehensive range of sizes to accommodate cable diameters from 1mm to 100mm+.
- Temperature & Chemical Resistance:
- Operating Temperature: Wide operational range from -40°C to +120°C (Polyamide), and even higher for metal versions, making them suitable for extreme climates.
- Chemical Resistance: Materials chosen for resistance to oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and UV radiation.
- Easy & Efficient Installation:
- Tool-Free Assembly: Many plastic models offer quick, tool-free installation for reduced labor costs.
- Ergonomic Design: User-friendly design ensures a secure fit with minimal effort.
- Specialized Variants:
- EMC Cable Glands: For applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility, featuring a conductive insert for shielding against EMI/RFI interference.
- Explosion-Proof (ATEX/IECEx) Glands: Certified for use in hazardous areas (Zones 1, 2, 21, 22) where flammable gases or dusts are present.
- Ventilation Glands: Designed with breathable membranes to equalize pressure, preventing condensation build-up in enclosures.
- Multi-Cable Glands: Accommodate multiple cables through a single entry point.
Benefits for Your Operations
- Enhanced Safety: Protects personnel from electrical hazards and prevents short circuits by maintaining cable integrity.
- Increased System Reliability: Ensures stable power and data transmission, preventing costly downtime due to cable failure or environmental ingress.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: Shields internal components of machinery and enclosures from dust, moisture, and chemical exposure, prolonging operational life.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Minimizes the need for repairs, replacements, and troubleshooting related to compromised cable entries.
- Compliance & Certification: Meets stringent international safety and performance standards (CE, RoHS, UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, VDE), ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Operational Continuity: Contributes to uninterrupted operation even in the most challenging industrial environments.
- Versatility: A wide array of types and sizes means a perfect fit for almost any application, simplifying inventory and procurement.
