The Helavia DA 80/100/30 black is a cable gland made of polychloroprene rubber, manufactured by Ses-Sterling, and is designed for the safe and tight guidance of cables or lines through components such as enclosures, wall penetrations, or machine cabinets. The gland is specifically designed for use in electrical and automation technology, where reliable sealing and mechanical protection are required. The designation DA 80/100/30 refers to the technical dimensions: an inner diameter of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 100 mm, and a length of 30 mm. These dimensions enable a precise fit in standard penetrations and ensure stable anchoring of the cable within the enclosure. The gland is black, which allows for seamless integration into technical installations and provides good visibility during maintenance work.
Cable glands are indispensable in electrical installations to protect cables from mechanical stress, moisture, and dust. The Helavia DA 80/100/30 black is produced as a molded part from polychloroprene rubber (PCP), an elastic and durable material known for its high chemical resistance and flexibility under varying temperatures. The material selection ensures long service life and reliable performance even under harsh operating conditions. The gland is supplied in a package of 100 pieces, making it particularly suitable for series installations and larger projects.
Polychloroprene rubber (PCP) is a synthetic elastomer characterized by high resistance to oils, fats, solvents, and weathering influences. It is therefore especially suitable for use in industrial environments where cable protection components are exposed to high mechanical and chemical loads. The elastic structure of the material allows for secure yet not overly tight cable guidance, preventing damage from excessive pressure. The gland is tensioned by the cable itself, creating a tight fit that remains intact even under vibrations or movements of the lines.
Cable protection is a central aspect in the planning and execution of electrical installations. The Helavia DA 80/100/30 black serves as a mechanical and electrical protection component. It prevents dust, moisture, and foreign objects from entering the enclosure, thereby preserving the functionality of installed devices. At the same time, it protects the cable from mechanical damage, such as when passing through sharp edges or during movement during operation. The gland is not intended for power supply through the cable, but solely for mechanical and protective electrical applications.
Applications include industrial electrical installations, automation technology, machine building, and plant engineering. It is often used in combination with cable protection conduits, connectors, or other protective components to form a complete protective chain. The gland is not intended for use in explosive environments, as no specific approvals or protection types (e.g., Ex) are mentioned. Use is restricted to non-explosive environments.
Installation and mounting are carried out by simply inserting the cable into the gland and then passing it through the designated opening in the enclosure. The elastic nature of the material ensures that the gland conforms to the cable’s shape and creates a tight seal. No additional fastening or tools are required. The gland is typically mounted in pre-fabricated penetrations or drill holes, with dimensions of 80 mm inner diameter, 100 mm outer diameter, and 30 mm length tailored to standard applications. Mounting is done without additional adhesives or seals.
Operational advantages include easy handling, high reliability, and long service life. The gland requires no maintenance, as it contains no moving parts or wear components. Material durability ensures that it retains its function even under prolonged stress. The packaging of 100 pieces enables efficient storage and use in larger projects, accelerating planning and installation. The gland is not intended for use in extreme temperatures, as no specific temperature ratings are provided; however, polychloroprene rubber is generally suitable for temperatures between -30 °C and +80 °C, which is sufficient for most industrial applications.
Compatibility and accessories refer to use in combination with other protective components, such as cable protection conduits, screw clamps, or enclosure penetrations. The gland is not specifically designed for a particular brand or product series, but is universally compatible with standard penetrations. There are no specific accessories offered by Ses-Sterling for this gland, as it is considered a standard component in electrical installations. Use is independent of special tools or additional materials.
The Helavia DA 80/100/30 black is thus a robust, reliable, and easy-to-install solution for cable protection in industrial and technical installations. Its material quality, dimensions, and functionality are tailored to the requirements of electrical installations, establishing it as a standard component in many projects. The gland is supplied in a package of 100 pieces, making it particularly cost-effective for series applications. The black color ensures unobtrusive integration into technical environments and good visibility during inspections.
