The DK-TPE 10/12/16-1.5 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, flexible protective components made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically developed for the safe and durable routing of cables and lines through drilled holes in panels, enclosures or other components. These rubber glands serve as mechanical and electrical protection, shielding cables from mechanical stresses such as friction or pressure, as well as from environmental influences like moisture or dust. The designation DK-TPE 10/12/16-1.5 refers to the available hole and cable diameters, as well as the wall thickness of the glands, with the values 10, 12 and 16 mm indicating the suitable hole diameters and 1.5 mm indicating the wall thickness. The glands are available in a package of 100 pieces, with each individual part weighing 0.67 g.

Cable glands are an essential component in the installation of electrical and electronic systems, particularly in industry, machine construction or building installation. They enable clean and orderly cable routing through drilled holes, with the elastic structure of the TPE material ensuring a secure fit. The TPE technology offers good elasticity, resistance to mechanical stress and high flexibility, making the glands suitable for a wide range of operating conditions. The black colour is standard and meets typical requirements in technical installations, where a discreet and robust design is required.

Applications include the installation of controls, drives, enclosures and other electrical devices where cables must be routed through enclosure walls or panels. The glands protect cables from mechanical damage that could result from movement, vibration or pressure. Additionally, they prevent dust or moisture from entering the components, thereby extending the service life of installed parts. Use in installation technology is particularly relevant, as high reliability and longevity of materials are required here.

Functions and equipment in detail include the elastic shape adaptation to different cable diameters within the specified hole sizes (10, 12, 16 mm). The wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient stability to securely fix the cables without damaging them. The glands are made of TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer, which combines rubber elasticity with plastic processability. This material is resistant to ageing, UV radiation and chemical influences, making the glands suitable for use in various environments. The black colour is not only aesthetically neutral but also functional, as it does not produce light reflections that could interfere with technical devices.

Technology explained simply means that the glands are made of a flexible yet stable material that elastically adapts to the shape of the routed cable. The elastic expansion allows the cable to be securely held within the hole diameter without causing crushing or damage. The wall thickness of 1.5 mm is sufficient to ensure mechanical stability without impairing flexibility. The TPE material composition ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences, making the glands particularly suitable for use in industrial and technical installations.

Compatibility and accessories refer to the use of the glands with holes of 10, 12 or 16 mm diameter. They are designed for cables with corresponding diameters, with the elastic structure allowing adaptation to slightly varying cable diameters. The glands are not specifically designed for particular accessories or additional components; they are used as individual components to route cables through holes. Installation requires no additional tools or mounting aids, as the glands can be simply inserted into the hole and the cable pulled through.

Mounting and installation are performed by simply inserting the gland into the pre-drilled opening. The elastic structure of the TPE material ensures that the gland adapts to the hole and securely holds the cable. The installation requires no special tools or aids and can be carried out by hand. The glands are designed for easy and quick installation, making them particularly suitable for series assembly or maintenance work.

Operational advantages lie in the high reliability and longevity of the glands. The TPE material composition ensures high resistance to mechanical stress, ageing and environmental influences. The elastic shape adaptation prevents cable shifting or loosening, maintaining a stable electrical connection. The black-coloured design is neutral and blends into most technical environments without causing visual distractions. The glands are available in a package of 100 pieces, making them economically viable for larger installations or series assembly.

The glands are not supplied with additional components, tools or documentation. The delivery scope is limited to the 100 pieces of glands in the package, as specified in the product description.
