General
Colour	Black

The Ses-Sterling Helavia 15-693 EPDM black is a crush protection sleeve made of EPDM rubber, specifically designed for use in cable and wiring protection technology. This protective sleeve provides mechanical protection for cables and wires against bending and crushing stresses, particularly at transitions, connections, or points where cables pass through openings. The sleeve is black and made from an elastic, durable EPDM material known for its resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and chemical substances. The use of EPDM ensures a long service life and high reliability in industrial and technical applications.

Applications

The crush protection sleeve Helavia 15-693 is used in electrical installation, automation technology, and in the machine and plant construction industry. It is employed to protect cables when passing through enclosures, switch boxes, machines, or other components from mechanical damage. It is particularly suitable for areas where cables are frequently moved or bent, such as on movable machine parts, swing arms, or in mobile systems. The sleeve is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as the EPDM material is resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV radiation.

Functions and Features in Detail

The sleeve features a conical shape that enables easy and secure installation. It is slid over the cable and, due to its elastic structure, provides a secure fit at the penetration point. The crush protection function is achieved through the special shape and material strength, protecting the cable from sudden bends and mechanical loads. The black color is standard and meets common requirements in electrical and industrial technology. The sleeve does not include additional components such as cable glands, mounting elements, or tools — it is simply slid over the cable and secures itself through elastic tension at the penetration point.

Technical Explanation

EPDM stands for Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer, a synthetic rubber highly valued for its chemical resistance and weathering resistance. The sleeve is made from this material, meaning it maintains its function even under difficult environmental conditions such as high humidity, sunlight exposure, or contact with various chemicals. The elastic properties of the EPDM material allow for a secure fit on the cable without damaging it. The conical shape of the sleeve ensures it can be easily slid over the cable and securely fits at the penetration point, ensuring safe and durable protection.

Compatibility and Accessories

The Helavia 15-693 is designed as a single component for use with cables of various diameters. The exact fit results from the elastic stretchability of the EPDM material, allowing flexible adaptation to different cable diameters. There are no specific accessories that must be combined with this sleeve — it is used as a standalone component. The sleeve is part of the HELAVIA product line from Ses-Sterling, which specializes in shaped parts made from polychloroprene rubber.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply sliding the sleeve over the cable and then guiding the cable through the desired opening. The elastic shape of the sleeve ensures it securely fits at the penetration point and provides a tight, secure seal. No additional tools or mounting elements are required. The sleeve is supplied in a package of 50 pieces, suitable for larger installations or series mounting. Installation is quick and simple, without requiring additional screwing or adhesive techniques.

Operational Advantages

The Helavia 15-693 provides reliable mechanical protection for cables and wires, extending cable lifespan and reducing the risk of short circuits or wire breaks. The use of EPDM material ensures high resistance to environmental influences, making the sleeve suitable for use in various industrial environments. The simple installation and universal fit increase installation efficiency. The sleeve is black, meeting requirements in electrical and industrial technology and enabling a uniform visual appearance.
