NOTE: See Chart below for sizing / selection.
Flexible Cable Glands: Brief Summary
- Flexible cable glands are cable entry devices designed to secure and protect electrical cables entering enclosures.
- They offer enhanced adaptability and allow for some cable movement without compromising the seal or strain relief.
- High IP ratings (e.g., IP68) provide excellent protection against dust and water.
- Common materials include nylon, brass, and stainless steel, offering varying levels of resistance.
- They typically feature a mechanism for effective strain relief.
Benefits:
- Flexibility: Easier installation in tight or dynamic applications.
- Environmental Protection: Superior sealing against contaminants.
- Strain Relief: Prevents cable damage at the entry point.
- Durability: Resistance to various environmental factors depending on the material.
- Ease of Installation: Generally quicker and simpler to install.
Industries:
- Robotics and Automation: For moving parts and flexible connections and Teach Pendants.
- Industrial Machinery and Manufacturing: Protecting cables in diverse equipment.
- Transportation: In vehicles and trains for vibration-resistant wiring.
- Marine and Offshore: Corrosion-resistant solutions for harsh environments.
- Renewable Energy: Durable cable management for outdoor installations.
- Food and Beverage: Hygienic options for processing equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and Chemical Processing: Chemical-resistant glands.
- Telecommunications: Secure cable entry for sensitive equipment.
- Construction and Infrastructure: For various electrical installations.
