The Plioprene DK-TPE 7/10/14-2 black from Ses-Sterling are cable glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically developed for use in electrical and installation technology. These
rubber glands ensure safe and tight cable and wire routing through holes in enclosures, wall linings, or other components. The glands are available in the colour
black and are suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios, particularly where mechanical and electrical insulation as well as sealing against dust and moisture is required.
Applications
The DK-TPE 7/10/14-2 glands are commonly used in industrial electrical installations, machine building, and building and plant construction. They enable clean and professional cable routing through holes of various diameters. The glands are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as the TPE material offers good weather resistance and resistance to mechanical stress. Typical applications include the installation of control systems, enclosures, or cabling of machines and devices.
Functions and Features in Detail
The glands are designed as
cable glands, with the designation DK-TPE 7/10/14-2 indicating the compatible hole and cable diameters. The glands are designed to adapt elastically and ensure a secure fit in the hole. The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material offers high flexibility and elasticity, enabling a tight seal even with different cable diameters. The
black colour is typical for industrial applications and ensures good visibility during installation.
Technology Explained Simply
TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines the properties of rubber with the processability of plastics. It is resistant to UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical stress, making the glands suitable for use in various environments. The glands are not self-extinguishing, but they meet the requirements for safe cable routing in electrical installations. The elastic structure ensures that the glands compress when inserted into the hole and then return to their original shape, guaranteeing a tight fit. The glands are not intended for use in explosive environments, as no specific approvals for such use are provided.
Compatibility and Accessories
The DK-TPE 7/10/14-2 glands are compatible with holes in the diameter range of 7 to 14 mm, with the exact fit varying depending on the cable diameter. They can be used with various cable types, including standard and flexible wires.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the glands into the designated hole. The elastic structure ensures that the glands adapt to the hole and provide a tight fit. The cables are then routed through the glands, with the elastic stretching of the material enabling secure and tight guidance. No additional tools or adhesive techniques are required. The glands are designed for single-use installation and should not be reused, as elasticity diminishes with repeated use.
Operational Advantages
The DK-TPE 7/10/14-2 glands provide reliable and tight cable routing, protecting against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The use of TPE ensures long service life and high resistance under various environmental conditions. The glands are easy to install and require no additional tools. The
black colour enhances the professional appearance of the installation. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces, making them suitable for larger projects. The weight specification of 0.7 g per piece indicates that this is a lightweight and portable product, easy to handle and store.
