The
DK-TPE 16/22/27-1 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are
rubber glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically developed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as
cable protection and
cable passage elements when routing cables through drill holes in walls, ceilings, or other components. The glands are available in the colour
black and enable secure, durable, and flexible cable guidance, while simultaneously providing mechanical protection against damage.
Applications
These
cable glands are suitable for use in electrical installations and building automation. They are frequently used when routing lines through concrete, drywall, or other construction materials, where secure and tight cable passage is required. The glands are designed for cable diameters of 16 mm, 22 mm, and 27 mm, with the designation 16/22/27-1 indicating the three available diameter sizes. The glands are used in a continuous configuration, enabling uninterrupted cable guidance.
Functions and Features in Detail
The
glands are made of
TPE material, a thermoplastic elastomer known for its flexibility, weather resistance, and mechanical strength. The material ensures a tight fit around the cable, preventing mechanical stress on the cable jacket. The
black colour is typical for electrical components and integrates well into most installation scenarios. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces, making them suitable for larger projects or series installations.
Technology Explained Simply
The
cable glands function as
cable protection and
cable clamps, securing the cable during passage through a drill hole while protecting it from mechanical influences such as friction, pressure, or bending stress. The
TPE material offers high elasticity, allowing the glands to be easily pulled over the cable and then tightly conform to its circumference. This ensures secure and tight guidance without damaging the cable. The
continuous configuration enables uninterrupted cable routing.
Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for cables with diameters of 16 mm, 22 mm, and 27 mm. They are therefore compatible with a wide range of lines commonly used in electrical installations. They are used in conjunction with drill holes in components, where the hole diameters must correspond to the cable diameters.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply sliding the gland tip over the cable and then inserting it into the drill hole. The TPE material ensures that the gland tip adapts elastically and provides secure anchoring in the hole. The glands are designed for simple manual installation without requiring special tools. They are typically used without additional fastening materials.
Operational Advantages
The
cable glands provide reliable
cable protection and prevent mechanical damage during installation and operation. The
TPE material is resistant to UV radiation, moisture, and temperatures typically encountered in indoor installations. The
continuous configuration enables uninterrupted cable routing, speeding up installation and reducing the risk of incorrect routing. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces, making them economically attractive for series installations.
