The DK-TPE 16/22/27-2 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 are passed through holes in metal or plastic components, such as in machines, devices, or enclosures. The glands are available in the colour black and provide a secure, tight transition to prevent mechanical damage to cable insulation while also allowing a certain degree of cable movement.

Applications
These cable glands are suitable for applications where cables must be passed through holes without damaging the insulation due to friction or pressure. They are used in industrial electrical installations, the machine-building industry, and in electrical engineering for enclosures and control systems. The glands are designed for a variety of hole sizes, with the designation 16/22/27-2 indicating the compatible hole diameters — thus, they are suitable for holes with diameters of 16 mm, 22 mm, and 27 mm. The designation “-2” refers to the specific design of the glands, ensuring a defined shape and precise fit.

Functions and Features in Detail
The TPE material properties ensure high elasticity and shape stability, allowing the glands to elastically adapt to cable diameters while providing a tight but not overly tight fit. This prevents cable movement within the hole area and simultaneously protects against mechanical stress. The glands are through-constructed, meaning they maintain a uniform shape along their entire length without additional reinforcements or grooves. The colour black is standard and visually matches most technical environments.

Technology Explained Simply
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a material that combines the advantages of rubber and plastic: it is flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and can be repeatedly deformed at room temperature without losing its shape stability. The rubber glands made of TPE are therefore particularly suitable for applications where cable movement occurs or high mechanical stress is expected. The packaging unit contains 100 pieces, making it suitable for larger installations or series assembly.

Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for holes with diameters of 16 mm, 22 mm, and 27 mm. They are thus compatible with standard holes in metal and plastic components commonly used in the electrical and machine-building industries. The glands are inserted directly into the hole and adapt to cable diameters through their elastic shape.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the glands into the designated hole. Due to the elastic properties of the TPE material, the gland automatically adapts to the hole geometry. The cables are then passed through the gland. No additional fastening or tools are required. The glands are designed to be easily pushed into the hole, providing a secure but not excessive fit.

Operational Advantages
The cable glands offer reliable mechanical protection for cables, shielding them from friction, pressure, and mechanical stress. The elastic TPE construction ensures a long service life and high reliability, even with repeated cable movements. The glands are easy to install and require no additional tools or fastening elements. The packaging unit of 100 pieces enables efficient handling in larger projects.
