The DGC 36 membrane grommets from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, shape-stable protective components made of polychloroprene rubber, specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as
cable protection and
sealing element in cable entries, for example in wall or ceiling openings, where cables or lines are routed continuously. The grommets are cross-slitted, enabling flexible adaptation to different cable diameters without impairing mechanical stability or sealing performance. The designation DGC 36 refers to the nominal size of the product, intended for precise fitting in corresponding cable entries.
Applications
The DGC 36 membrane grommets are used in industrial and commercial electrical installations, particularly in areas where a durable, weather-resistant and mechanically robust seal is required. They are suitable for use in indoor and outdoor installations, where they function as a
protective sleeve for cables while simultaneously providing
waterproofing and
dust sealing. Typical applications include the building and machine construction industries, where cable entries in concrete, metal or other components need to be protected.
Functions and Features in Detail
The grommets are made of
polychloroprene rubber, an elastic, chemically resistant material offering high mechanical strength and weather resistance. The cross-slitted design allows elastic adaptation to cable diameters within the nominal size range of DGC 36, creating a secure and tight connection. The
black colour is standard and corresponds to the manufacturer’s design. The grommets are not equipped with additional sealing materials or adhesives; the sealing effect is achieved solely through the elastic shape and compression force during installation.
Technical Explanation
The membrane grommets operate on the principle of
crimping nipple technology, where the cable is passed through the slitted opening. The elastic slits compress around the cable, creating a tight yet flexible fit. This prevents moisture, dust or other particles from entering the installation. The choice of polychloroprene rubber ensures high resistance to UV radiation, ozone and industrial chemicals, increasing the service life in practical use.
Compatibility and Accessories
The DGC 36 membrane grommets are designed for cable entries with a nominal size of 36 mm and fit standard installation shafts or entries of this size. They can be combined with other products from the HELAVIA product range, especially in systems requiring modular cable routing.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the grommet into the designated cable entry. The cable is passed through the slitted opening, causing the elastic slits to conform around the cable and create a tight seal. No additional fastening or tools are required. The grommets are designed for single-use installation; reuse after removal is not recommended, as the elastic properties may be impaired by deformation.
Operational Advantages
The DGC 36 membrane grommets provide a reliable, long-lasting seal without additional materials. The material resistance ensures a long service life under industrial conditions. The simple installation reduces installation effort, and the cross-slitted design ensures flexible adaptation to various cable diameters within the nominal size. The grommets are available in packages of 50 pieces, making them economically attractive for larger projects.
