Collection: Cable gland

What is a cable gland?

A cable gland, also known as a cable verschraubung or cable gland, is a mechanical device that secures cables when passed through panels, walls, or cabinets. The cable gland fastens the cable, protects against dust and moisture, relieves cable strain, and ensures a professional and reliable installation. The product typically consists of a body part, a sealing ring, a clamping ring, and a nut, which together create a secure and tight cable entry.

Advantages of cable glands

• Sealing against dust and moisture- Protects the installation from ingress of water and particles
• Mechanical cable protection- Prevents wear and damage to cable insulation
• Strain relief- Relieves mechanical stress and protects connections
• IP rating- Meets industrial standards for sealing
• Easy installation- Quick and secure mounting without special tools
• Long lifespan- Durable materials for demanding environments
• Broad compatibility- Available in many sizes and for different cable types

Applications for cable glands

Cable glands are used in numerous industries and installations. Industry uses cable glands in control cabinets, machines, and production facilities to ensure reliable operation. Electrical installations require cable glands in distribution boards and electrical cabinets to comply with safety standards. The automation industry uses them in robot installations and process control. Offshore and marine installations require specially designed cable glands for extreme environments. The construction industry uses cable glands for penetrations in walls and ceilings, while telecommunications uses them in outdoor and indoor network cabinets.

How to choose the right cable gland

When choosing a cable gland, the following factors should be considered:

• Cable diameter- Measure the cable's outer diameter and choose the appropriate clamping range
• Material- Brass, stainless steel, polyamide, or nickel-plated according to environmental requirements
• IP rating- Choose the sealing degree according to the degree of exposure (IP54, IP67, IP68)
• Thread type- Metric (M), PG-thread, or NPT depending on cabinet standard
• Temperature range- Ensure compatibility with the operating environment's temperatures
• Chemical resistance- Consider exposure to oil, chemicals, or corrosive substances
• Certifications- Ex approvals, UL, or other industry-specific requirements

Installation and maintenance

Correct installation of cable glands is crucial for optimal function. Choose hole size according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically with minimal tolerance. Pass the cable through the cable gland before terminating the cable ends. Tighten the nut evenly for a uniform seal without overtightening. Check that the sealing ring is correctly seated and not damaged. For outdoor or damp environments, regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued tightness. Proactively replace worn seals to maintain the IP rating.
