Colour	Light Grey Ral 7035

The DX M16 membrane glands from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for sealing penetrations in components such as walls, ceilings, or enclosures. They are made of polychloroprene rubber (EPDM), an elastic, chemically resistant material known for its high weather and aging resistance. The glands are available in the color Light Gray RAL 7035 and serve as a watertight and dust-tight cable gland for cables and conduits. The designation DX M16 refers to the nominal and mounting diameter of 16 mm, intended for precise installation in corresponding drill holes or openings.

Membrane glands are commonly used in electrical and building technology to protect cable penetrations against moisture, dust, and mechanical stress. They are frequently used in the installation of control lines, data cables, or power supplies, especially in areas where permanent sealing is required. The glands are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, as EPDM retains its properties even under varying temperatures and UV exposure.

Sealing is achieved through the elastic shape of the material, which automatically adjusts when the cable or conduit is inserted, ensuring a tight seal. The glands are designed to maintain a permanent seal even with slight cable wear or movement during operation. The use of EPDM ensures high chemical resistance against many industrial and household chemicals, making the glands suitable for a wide range of applications.

Technology explained simply: The DX M16 membrane glands consist of a flexible, rubber-like material that elastically deforms when the cable is inserted and then returns to its original shape. This effect creates a tight seal around the cable, preventing moisture, dust, and other particles from entering the protected area. The glands are not designed for power supply over network cables (PoE), but solely for mechanical and weather-resistant sealing of cable penetrations.

Compatibility and accessories: The glands are intended for drill holes with a nominal diameter of 16 mm. They fit into standard installation ducts, enclosures, or wall penetrations with this diameter. Use in combination with other protective sleeves or cable glands is possible, provided the drill hole and cable diameter profile are compatible. The glands do not include additional fastening elements or mounting accessories; sealing is achieved solely through the elastic material.

Installation and mounting: Installation is performed by simply inserting the cable into the gland tip and then screwing it in or inserting it into the designated hole. The elastic shape of the EPDM material ensures that the gland tip conforms to the cable surface, creating a tight seal. The glands are not designed for dynamic loads or frequent movement; they are intended for static applications where the cable remains stationary after installation.

Operational advantages: The DX M16 membrane glands provide a reliable, long-lasting seal for cable penetrations. The EPDM material is resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and many chemicals, increasing the service life of the glands in various environments. The light gray color RAL 7035 allows for discreet integration into building components and installation systems. The glands are available in packages of 50 pieces, making them suitable for larger installations.

The glands do not include additional tools, instructions, or fastening elements. The delivery scope is limited to the membrane glands themselves, as specified in the product description. The weight specification of 4 g per piece is for logistical planning purposes and is not relevant to the functional description.
