The DA 230/300/60 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are
rubber glands made of polychloroprene rubber, specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as
cable protection for cable passage through wall or ceiling openings, particularly in combination with
protective conduits or
cable conduit systems. The glands are available in the colour
black and provide a secure, long-lasting seal to prevent mechanical damage to cables and ensure the integrity of the installation. The designation DA 230/300/60 refers to the technical dimensions: an inner diameter of 230 mm, an outer diameter of 300 mm, and a length of 60 mm. These dimensions enable a precise fit in standardised openings and ensure a stable seating without being too loose or too tight.
Applications
The glands are suitable for use in
indoor and outdoor environments, particularly in buildings with high requirements for mechanical protection class. They are used in electrical installations, for the routing of power and low-voltage lines, as well as in building automation. The use of polychloroprene rubber ensures high
resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and chemical influences, extending the service life of the glands even under harsh conditions.
Functions and Features in Detail
The
cable glands are designed as
crimping nipples, meaning they provide a firm yet flexible cable retention through elastic deformation. The inner surface is shaped to gently enclose the cable without damaging it, while the outer surface ensures a secure fit in the opening. The choice of polychloroprene rubber material provides high
resistance to mechanical stress, such as pressure, tension, and bending loads.
Technology Explained Simply
The glands operate on the principle of
elastic cable retention. During installation, the cable is passed through the gland, and the elastic structure of the material conforms around the cable, creating a secure connection. The outer surface adapts to the shape of the opening, resulting in a
tight seal. The material properties of polychloroprene rubber offer high
temperature resistance, sufficient for normal operation in electrical installations. The colour
black is a standard variant that blends well visually in most installation scenarios.
Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for use with
protective conduits and
cable conduit systems, particularly in combination with products from the HELAVIA series by Ses-Sterling. Use with other products is possible, provided the dimensions and material requirements match.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the gland into the designated opening, with the cable already passed through the gland. The elastic shape of the material ensures a secure fit without requiring additional fastening elements. The glands are not designed for repeated mounting or dismounting, as this could impair the material's elasticity. The packaging unit is 50 pieces, suitable for larger installations.
A
benefit in operation is the easy handling and long service life of the glands. The material quality ensures reliable performance throughout the entire service life, without requiring additional maintenance. Use in outdoor environments is possible, although without specific protection marking.
