The DK-TPE 4/8/11-1.5 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, flexible protective devices made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically designed for cable and wire passage through enclosures, wall penetrations or other components. They provide mechanical and electrical insulation, protect against mechanical stress such as friction or pressure, and prevent dust or moisture ingress at the penetration points. The glands are available in a packaging unit of 100 pieces and are suitable for use in electrical installation, automation technology, and industrial equipment and machine building.
Cable glands made of TPE feature high flexibility and elasticity, enabling easy installation and adaptation to different diameters. The designation DK-TPE 4/8/11-1.5 refers to specific dimensions: the glands are designed for diameters of 4 mm, 8 mm, and 11 mm, with the "-3,8 cm ( 1,5 inch ) indicating a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. This construction ensures a secure and tight fit in the drilled hole or penetration opening, achieving effective sealing. The black colour is standard and meets common requirements in industrial electrotechnics.
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is a material that combines the advantages of plastics and elastomers. It is resistant to mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and chemical influences, making it suitable for use in various environments. The material properties allow for a long service life and high resistance to ageing, which is particularly beneficial in industrial applications.
Compatibility and accessories include use with various cable types and wires within the specified diameters. The glands are not specifically designed for any particular standard or approval, but serve as mechanical protection and insulation. They can be used in combination with other protective and mounting elements, such as cable glands or cable clamps, to ensure comprehensive protection. Installation requires no additional tools; the glands are simply inserted into the hole and adapt to the surroundings due to their elasticity.
Installation and mounting are performed by simply inserting the gland into the designated hole. The elastic structure ensures the gland adapts to the hole's diameter and provides a tight fit. Installation is quick and requires no special tools or accessories. The glands are intended for single use and are not designed for reuse. The packaging unit of 100 pieces allows for economical handling and storage for larger projects.
Operational advantages include easy handling, high flexibility, and reliable sealing. The glands prevent dust, moisture, or other particles from entering electrical or mechanical systems, extending the service life of installed components. The material quality ensures stable performance over time, reducing maintenance and replacement intervals. The use of TPE also provides good electrical insulation, enhancing operational safety.
The glands are available in a packaging unit of 100 pieces, with a weight per piece of 0.37 g. The total packaging weight is 0.037 kg. The EAN number is 3597470006825. The manufacturer's number is 01450008010.
