Essential Cable Gland Accessories: Enhance Performance & Protection

Optimize the performance, longevity, and safety of your cable gland installations with our comprehensive range of high-quality cable gland accessories. Designed to complement and enhance standard cable glands, these crucial components ensure superior sealing, robust strain relief, effective grounding, and seamless integration in any application, from industrial machinery to hazardous environments.

Why Cable Gland Accessories Are Indispensable

While cable glands provide the primary interface, accessories elevate their functionality, addressing specific environmental, mechanical, and electrical requirements. They ensure:

• Enhanced Environmental Protection: Achieve higher IP ratings against dust, water, and even high-pressure jets.
• Optimal Mechanical Stability: Secure glands firmly in place, preventing loosening due to vibration or movement.
• Superior Electrical Performance: Facilitate reliable grounding, shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), and maintaining electrical continuity.
• Installation Flexibility: Adapt to varying thread sizes, types, and panel thicknesses, simplifying complex installations.
• Increased Safety & Compliance: Meet stringent industry standards for hazardous areas, ensuring safe operation and regulatory adherence.

Key Features & Benefits

• Premium Material Construction: Available in nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, polyamide (nylon), silicone, NBR, EPDM, and more, chosen for durability, corrosion resistance, and specific environmental compatibility.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed to seamlessly integrate with metric (M), PG, NPT, and G threaded cable glands.
• Precision Engineered: Manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance.
• Extensive Range: A diverse selection to meet virtually any installation challenge or requirement.
• Compliance & Certification: Many accessories meet international standards like RoHS, REACH, UL, CE, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring quality and safety.

Our Comprehensive Range of Cable Gland Accessories

1. Locknuts

• Purpose: Essential for securing cable glands firmly to an enclosure or panel. They prevent the gland from loosening due to vibration or external forces.
• Materials: Nickel-plated brass, stainless steel (303, 304, 316), polyamide.
• Benefits: High mechanical strength, anti-vibration features, excellent corrosion resistance.

2. Sealing Washers & O-Rings

• Purpose: Provide an additional, crucial seal between the cable gland and the mounting surface, preventing ingress of dust, water, and other contaminants.
• Materials: NBR (Nitrile Rubber), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), Silicone, TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), Polyamide.
• Benefits: Achieve higher IP ratings (up to IP68/IP69K), chemical resistance, temperature resilience, UV stability.

3. Reducers & Enlargers (Adapters)

• Purpose:
  • Reducers: Allow a smaller threaded cable gland to be fitted into a larger threaded entry hole.
  • Enlargers: Enable a larger threaded cable gland to be fitted into a smaller threaded entry hole.
• Materials: Nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, polyamide.
• Benefits: Provides flexibility in installation, minimizes the need for special enclosures, simplifies stock management.

4. Thread Converters

• Purpose: Convert between different thread types (e.g., Metric to PG, PG to NPT, NPT to Metric), offering universal compatibility for diverse global applications.
• Materials: Nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, polyamide.
• Benefits: Versatility for international projects, allows integration of various component standards.

5. Earth Tags / EMC Shields

• Purpose: Facilitate electrical continuity and ensure proper grounding of shielded cables to the enclosure. EMC shields provide 360° electromagnetic compatibility by diverting interference.
• Materials: Brass, copper (often nickel-plated).
• Benefits: Enhanced safety, reduced electromagnetic interference, compliance with EMC directives, critical for sensitive electronics.

6. Protective Shrouds / Covers

• Purpose: Offer additional protection for the cable gland and cable entry point against mechanical impact, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. Also provides an aesthetic finish.
• Materials: PVC, EPDM, Silicone.
• Benefits: Extends the life of the cable gland, prevents accidental damage, improves safety, enhances system appearance.

7. Blanking Plugs / Stopper Plugs

• Purpose: Seal unused threaded entry holes in enclosures, maintaining the enclosure's IP rating and protecting internal components from environmental hazards.
• Materials: Nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, polyamide.
• Benefits: Preserves enclosure integrity, prevents dust and moisture ingress, quick and easy installation.
