The Helavia A3x25-FM orange rubber grommets from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as a
cable gland for secure and tight fixation of cables in cable entries, particularly in switch cabinets, distribution boxes, or other electrical enclosures. The grommets are available in the color
orange and allow for quick visual identification in the installation environment. The designation A3x25-FM indicates the specific version, with the marking FM referring to a particular shape or function within the product series.
Applications
These rubber grommets are suitable for use in industrial and commercial facilities where reliable cable routing and mechanical protection are required. They are frequently used in electrical installations, during the assembly of control and switch enclosures, and in automation technology. The grommets protect cables from mechanical stress, such as friction or pressure, and simultaneously prevent dust, moisture, or small particles from entering the enclosure. The orange color serves as a visual identifier to distinguish these grommets from other types or functions.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The Helavia A3x25-FM orange grommets are made from an elastic rubber material that offers high flexibility and shape stability. The grommets are designed to elastically adapt when inserted into a hole or cable entry, ensuring a tight fit. The
cable gland operates on the crimping principle: when the cable is inserted, the rubber is compressed around the cable, creating a firm yet non-damaging grip. This prevents the cable from falling out and provides mechanical stabilization. The grommets are suitable for a variety of cable diameters, with the exact fit defined by the specific A3x25-FM designation.
Technology Explained Simply
The grommets are made from an elastic material that deforms under pressure and returns to its original shape when released. This behavior enables a tight but not excessive grip on the cable. The
rubber grommets are dimensioned to fit precisely into holes of a specific diameter (here A3x25). The designation A3x25 refers to the geometric dimensions of the grommets, defining the hole diameter and the length of the grommet. The orange color is a visual feature that aids in quick identification during installation. The grommets are not designed for extreme temperatures, but for use in the range of -30 to 90 °C, which is sufficient for most indoor and outdoor applications in industrial environments.
Compatibility and Accessories
The Helavia A3x25-FM orange grommets are designed for use in standard holes in metal or plastic enclosures. They are compatible with cables having a diameter within the specified range of the grommets. The grommets are supplied in packages of 1000 pieces, making them suitable for large projects or series installations. There are no specific accessories that must be combined directly with this item; the grommets function as standalone components for cable fixation.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the grommet into the designated hole. The grommet tip is inserted into the hole, where the rubber elastically adapts. Subsequently, the cable is passed through the grommet tip, activating the crimping principle. The grommets are designed for simple, tool-free installation. No additional fastening or tools are required. Installation is completed in a single step and is quick and secure to perform.
Advantages in Operation
The Helavia A3x25-FM orange grommets provide reliable and tight cable fixation, protecting against mechanical stress and environmental influences. The
rubber grommets ensure a long service life of the installation, as they show no wear from friction or mechanical stress. The orange color facilitates visual inspection and identification in the installation environment. The grommets are suitable for use in a wide range of applications, making them a universally applicable component in electrical and installation technology. The supply in packages of 1000 pieces enables economical use in larger projects.
