General
Colour	Light Grey Ral 7035

The DX PG9 membrane glands from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as conduit glands for the safe and tight installation of cables and lines through components such as wall or ceiling plates, particularly in systems with increased requirements for sealing. The product is made of polychloroprene rubber (EPDM), a material known for its chemical resistance, weather resistance, and elasticity. The glands are available in the colour Light Grey Ral 7035 and are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments where a durable, waterproof and dustproof seal is required.

Applications

The DX PG9 membrane glands are commonly used in building installation, industrial electrical engineering, and systems with increased requirements for protection ratings. They are particularly suitable for protecting cable penetrations through components without compromising the mechanical integrity of the components. The glands ensure a tight connection between the cable and the penetration material, effectively preventing moisture, dust, and other environmental influences. Their use in combination with cable protection conduits or cable sleeve systems is common to achieve complete protection.

Functions and Features in Detail

The glands are designed as membrane glands, meaning they feature a flexible, elastic membrane that adapts to the shape of the cable being passed through. This allows for individual adjustment to different cable diameters within the specified range. Sealing is achieved through the elastic deformation of the membrane, creating an airtight and watertight seal. The glands are designed for easy installation and can be directly inserted into pre-drilled openings. The use of tools is generally not required, as the glands are pressed into the opening.

Technology Explained Simply

The material technology used is based on polychloroprene rubber (EPDM), a synthetic elastomer known for its high resistance to UV radiation, ozone, weathering, and many chemical substances. These properties make the material particularly suitable for outdoor applications and industrial environments. The glands are dimensioned to provide a secure fit in components with a PG9 diameter. The colour Light Grey Ral 7035 is a standardised colour code frequently used in the construction and electrical industries to ensure visual harmony with other components.

A packaging unit contains 50 pieces, suitable for larger installations or series assembly. The weight of a single part is 3.95 g, indicating a compact and lightweight design. The packaging weight is 0.198 kg, highlighting its transport and storage friendliness.

Compatibility and Accessories

The DX PG9 membrane glands are compatible with components featuring a PG9 penetration hole. They can be used in combination with cable protection conduits, cable sleeve systems, or other cable protection solutions to achieve complete protection. The glands are not specifically designed for particular cable types but adapt elastically to various cable diameters as long as they fall within the technical specifications. Their use in conjunction with other products from the HELAVIA product group by Ses-Sterling is possible to create a consistent protection system.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the gland into a pre-drilled opening with a diameter of PG9. The elastic membrane ensures that the gland automatically adapts to the shape of the opening and creates a tight seal. No additional fastening or tools are required. The glands can also be used in components with low wall thickness, as their elasticity ensures secure anchoring. Installation typically does not require additional sealing materials, as the membrane itself provides the sealing.

Operational Advantages

The DX PG9 membrane glands offer a reliable, durable seal that remains stable even under challenging environmental conditions. The material quality ensures a long service life and minimises the need for maintenance. The simple installation reduces installation time and labour effort. Their use in combination with other protection systems allows for modular and flexible adaptation to different requirements. The glands are suitable for use in electrical systems where a safe and tight cable penetration is required, without the need for additional sealing materials or tools.
