The Plioprene DK-TPE 8/10/14-2 black from Ses-Sterling are cable glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve to protect cables and wires during passage through enclosures, wall penetrations or other components. The glands are black and provide a secure, durable and flexible seal, adapting elastically to the cable while offering mechanical protection. The designation DK-TPE 8/10/14-2 refers to the specific design of the glands, intended for diameter ranges of 8 mm, 10 mm and 14 mm, with the digit 2 indicating the specific construction type.
Applications
These cable glands are particularly suitable for use in industrial electrical installations, machine building, and building and plant assembly. They are used to protect cables and wires when passing through metal or plastic enclosures, while simultaneously providing mechanical and partially impact- and shock-resistant sealing. The glands are intended for indoor use, with the TPE material offering high flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress. The black color is standard and visually integrates well into technical environments.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The glands are made of TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer known for its combination of rubber elasticity and plastic processability. This material allows for high dimensional stability combined with flexibility, enabling the glands to elastically conform to the cable surface and provide a tight seal. The glands are designed as cable glands, meaning they are inserted into a pre-drilled hole or opening to protect the cable passage. The designation 8/10/14-2 refers to the three available diameter sizes (8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm), with the digit 2 indicating the specific construction type. The glands are manufactured in black, enabling visual harmonization in technical installations.
Technology Explained Simply
TPE stands for Thermoplastic Elastomer, a material that combines the properties of rubber with the processability of plastics. Compared to conventional rubber or silicone products, TPE offers higher mechanical strength and longer service life, especially under repeated stress. The glands are designed to elastically wrap around the cable, creating a tight seal that prevents mechanical damage from friction, pressure or bending stress. The elastic adaptation to different cable diameters within the specified ranges (8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm) enables universal use. The black color is standard and corresponds to the usual color standard in electrical installations.
Compatibility and Accessories
The Plioprene DK-TPE 8/10/14-2 black are designed for use with cables and wires in the specified diameters (8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm). They are intended for mounting in holes or openings in the enclosure, with the exact fit ensured by the elastic adaptation of the TPE material. The glands are not specifically designed for particular cable types, but are suitable for a wide range of cables within the specified diameter ranges.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the glands into the designated hole or opening in the enclosure. The elastic shape of the TPE material ensures that the glands automatically adapt to the shape of the hole and provide a tight fit. Subsequently, the cable is passed through the gland, with the elastic seal providing mechanical protection. The glands are intended for indoor use, with no special mounting aids or tools required. The packaging contains 100 pieces, sufficient for larger installations.
Operational Advantages
The use of Plioprene DK-TPE 8/10/14-2 black offers the advantage of durable mechanical protection for cables and wires. The elastic adaptation of the TPE material ensures a tight seal that absorbs friction, pressure and bending stress. The glands are easy to install and require no additional tools. The black color visually integrates into technical environments. The TPE material ensures high service life and resistance to mechanical stress, increasing the reliability of the installation. The glands are intended for indoor use and provide reliable protection for cable passages.
