The DG-TPE M20 black membrane glands from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for cable and conduit passage through components such as enclosures, wall penetrations, or machine constructions. As
rubber glands made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), they offer a flexible yet stable seal that also withstands mechanical stress. The term
Plioprene is sometimes used synonymously in trade, but refers to the product line and not a specific material standard. The glands are available in size M20, indicating an inner diameter of 20 mm, and are suitable for use in installations where a tight and elastic gland connection is required.
Applications
These membrane glands are used in electrical and automation technology, particularly in areas where secure and weather-resistant cable passage is necessary. They are suitable for use in indoor and outdoor installations, where they function as
passage glands and simultaneously provide mechanical protection for the cables. Their use in industrial environments, such as manufacturing technology or machine construction, is typical, as they enable a tight connection without damaging the cables.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The glands are made of
TPE material, which combines elasticity and strength. The black color is standard and corresponds to the product designation. The membrane shape allows elastic adaptation to cable diameters within the specified range, ensuring a tight seal. The connection is made via a threaded fitting, designed for mounting in corresponding holes or threaded inserts. The glands are designed for easy installation, requiring no additional tools or accessories.
Technology Explained Simply
The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material is characterized by its heat resistance and chemical resistance. It enables long service life under industrial conditions and is resistant to oil, fats, and many chemicals. The
membrane glands are designed to elastically adapt during installation, creating a tight seal between the cable and the enclosure. The shape ensures that cables are not damaged by the gland but are gently guided. The threaded connection ensures secure fastening, even under vibration or mechanical stress.
Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for use with cables and conduits whose diameters fall within the specified tolerances. Their use in combination with other products from the product group
Protection > TPE passage glands is possible, especially when uniform material and color design is desired. The packaging unit is 100 pieces, suitable for larger installations or series mounting.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply screwing into the designated hole or threaded insert. The cable is passed through the membrane, where the elastic shape of the gland adapts to the cable diameter. The gland is then tightened, creating a tight seal. It is important that the hole has the specified diameter to ensure correct fit. No additional tools or accessories are required.
Operational Advantages
The use of these
rubber glands provides a reliable seal that holds even under dynamic conditions. The material strength of TPE ensures long service life, while elasticity ensures safe cable guidance. The black finish blends well into most industrial environments and is visually unobtrusive. The packaging unit of 100 pieces enables efficient handling in larger projects. The glands are suitable for use in various industries, especially in electrical and automation technology, where secure and tight cable passage is required.
