The DG 29 membrane glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, shape-stable protective components made of polychloroprene rubber, specifically developed for use in electrical and IT installations. They serve as
cable protection and
cable entry elements in enclosures, control panels or other components, where cables or lines are passed through a wall or ceiling opening. The glands ensure a secure, tight and mechanically robust cable guidance, while simultaneously protecting against mechanical damage and environmental influences. The designation DG 29 refers to the specific shape and dimensions of the gland, designed for a particular hole size.
Applications
The DG 29 membrane glands are used in industrial electrical installations, building automation, switchboard assembly and IT infrastructure. They are particularly suitable for environments requiring high mechanical load capacity and resistance to chemical influences. Outdoor use is possible due to the material properties of polychloroprene rubber, which is UV-resistant and weather-resistant. The glands are designed for use in electrical installations where secure and tight cable guidance is required.
Functions and Features in Detail
The glands are designed as
membrane glands, meaning they feature a flexible, elastic membrane that adapts to the diameter of the cables being passed through. This ensures a tight seal, even with different cable diameters. The shape is designed to be installed in holes with a defined diameter, with the exact fit determined by the specific DG designation (here DG 29). The black colour is a visual characteristic used for identification and specific application areas.
Technology Explained Simply
The glands are made of
polychloroprene rubber, a synthetic elastomer known for its high elasticity, resistance to oil, fats and chemical solvents, as well as its UV resistance. These material properties make the glands suitable for use in industrial and technical installations where high material quality requirements exist. The elastic membrane ensures the gland conforms to the cable surface, creating a tight, mechanically stable connection. The design allows for easy installation in pre-drilled holes, with the gland held in place by pressure or mechanical fixation.
Compatibility and Accessories
The DG 29 membrane glands are designed for use in electrical and IT installations. They are compatible with cables and lines passed through the hole, with the exact fit defined by the DG designation. The glands can be mounted in control panels, enclosures or other components featuring the corresponding hole.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the gland into a pre-drilled hole of the corresponding diameter. The elastic membrane ensures the gland conforms to the hole, enabling secure anchoring. Cables are passed through the membrane, with the elastic properties ensuring a tight seal. Installation requires no additional tools or accessories, as the glands are held in place by pressure or mechanical fixation.
A packaging unit contains 50 pieces of the DG 29 membrane glands. The weight per piece is 11.53 g, with the total packaging weighing 0.577 kg. These figures are for logistical planning and transportation purposes and are not part of the technical function of the glands.
Operational Advantages
The use of DG 29 membrane glands offers the advantage of secure, tight and mechanically robust cable guidance. The material properties of polychloroprene rubber ensure a long service life and resistance to environmental influences. The elastic membrane provides an adaptable seal that functions even with different cable diameters. The glands are easy to install and require no additional tools, speeding up installation and reducing error potential. The black colour supports visual identification and integration into existing installations.
The glands are available in a packaging unit of 50 pieces, suitable for larger installations or series mounting. Weight specifications are for logistical planning and are not part of the technical function. The glands are to be understood as individual components, without additional accessories or tools.
The DG 29 membrane glands from Ses-Sterling are thus a reliable solution for secure and tight cable passage in technical and industrial applications. The combination of material quality, shape design and elastic membrane ensures long service life and easy installation, making them an important component in electrical and IT installations.
