continuous cable glands content_copy

The DK-TPE 9/12/16-3 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are rubber glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as cable protection when cables pass through enclosures, wall penetrations, or other components. The glands are finished in black colour and enable secure, tight, and flexible cable guidance for various cable diameters. The designation DK-TPE 9/12/16-3 refers to the three available inner diameters (9 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm) and a length of 3 mm, with the glands supplied in a pack of 100 pieces.

Applications
These cable glands are used in industrial electrical installations, machine building, automation technology, and building and plant cabling. They are particularly suitable for environments where mechanical protection for cables is required, for example, in the cabling of control and switch enclosures, motors, or electronic devices. The glands protect cables from mechanical stresses such as friction, pressure, or bending, while preventing uncontrolled movement or kinking of the conductors.

Functions and Features in Detail
The TPE material composition offers good elasticity and flexibility, allowing the glands to be easily pulled over the cable and ensuring a tight fit. The black colour is standard for industrial applications and blends visually into most technical environments. The glands are designed for cable diameters of 9 mm, 12 mm, and 16 mm, with a length of 3 mm enabling compact and precise adaptation to narrow penetrations. The packaging contains 100 pieces, enabling economical handling for series assembly or larger installations.

Technology Explained Simply
The material TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) combines rubber elasticity with thermoplastic processability. It is resistant to mechanical stress and offers high flexibility, making it ideal for repeated assembly and disassembly operations. The cable glands are pulled over the cable and then seated firmly in the hole or penetration, providing mechanical protection. The 3 mm length is designed for shallow or narrow penetrations, making them ideal for use in compact devices or switch cabinets.

Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are universally applicable and compatible with a wide range of cable types, particularly electrical wiring and data cables used in electrical and IT installations. They fit into holes with the specified inner diameters (9 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm) and are suitable for use in metal or plastic enclosures. Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives — the glands are simply pulled over the cable and inserted into the penetration.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply sliding the gland over the cable and inserting it into the designated hole. The elastic properties of the TPE material ensure that the gland conforms to the cable’s shape and provides a secure fit in the hole. No special mounting equipment is required, and the glands can be processed quickly and efficiently even in series production.

Operational Advantages
The DK-TPE 9/12/16-3 cable glands provide reliable mechanical protection for cables, extending the service life of the conductors and reducing the risk of damage from friction or pressure. The material strength of TPE ensures long-term durability, even under repeated stress. The black finish is visually unobtrusive and blends well into industrial environments. The packaging of 100 pieces enables efficient storage and use in larger projects.
