The DK-TPE 18/22/27-2 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 when routing cables through enclosures, wall penetrations, or other components. The glands are finished in black colour and enable secure, tight, and flexible cable guidance for cables with a diameter of 18 to 27 mm. The designation DK-TPE refers to the product series and the material used, with TPE providing high elasticity and resistance to mechanical stress.

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 requiring tight and flexible cable routing, such as wiring control and switch enclosures, motors, or electronic devices. The glands protect cables from mechanical damage, such as abrasion or pressure, and prevent dust or moisture from entering at the penetration point.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The rubber glands are designed as through glands, meaning they provide uniform guidance and sealing along the entire length of the cable. The TPE material composition offers high flexibility, allowing the glands to easily conform to the cable shape and create a tight fit. The black colour is standard and meets common requirements in electrical installations. The glands are designed for cable diameters from 18 to 27 mm, with the designation 18/22/27-2 indicating the available sizes within this series. The numbering refers to the matching cable diameters in millimetres.

Technology Explained Simply
The material TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) combines rubber elasticity with thermoplastic properties. It is resistant to mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and chemical influences. The glands are designed to elastically conform around the cable, creating a tight but not overly tight fit. This prevents cable movement within the gland and protects against damage. The through design ensures the entire cable length is guided through the gland, providing consistent protection.

Compatibility and Accessories
The DK-TPE 18/22/27-2 cable glands are designed for use with cables having diameters from 18 to 27 mm. They fit standard penetration holes and can be used in various installation scenarios, provided the hole diameter matches the cable diameter. The glands are not specifically designed for particular brands or accessories and can be used universally in electrical installations. There are no special accessories required for use.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply inserting the gland into the designated hole and then routing the cable through the gland. The elastic nature of the TPE material ensures the gland automatically conforms to the cable shape and creates a tight fit. No additional fastening or tools are required. The glands are intended for use in stationary installations and are not suitable for moving or dynamically loaded applications.

Operational Advantages
The rubber glands provide reliable cable protection at penetration points. The TPE material quality ensures long service life and resistance to wear. The through design ensures uniform guidance and prevents cable movement within the gland. The black colour is standard and fits most installation scenarios. The glands are easy to install and require no additional tools or fastening elements.

The packaging unit contains 100 pcs, suitable for larger installations or series mounting. The glands are delivered in standard packaging that ensures safe transport and storage. The weight specification of 2.24 g per piece is for logistical planning and is not relevant for operation.
