What is a metal cable gland and why is it used?
What materials are metal cable glands commonly made from, and how do I choose?
- Stainless steel (A2/A4 or 304/316 equivalents): Excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh, wet, or coastal environments and for sanitary or food-grade applications.
- Brass (often nickel-plated): Good mechanical strength and conductivity, suitable for indoor or general industrial use with moderate corrosion exposure.
- Aluminium (anodised or natural): Lightweight with decent corrosion resistance; cost-effective for large-size glands or where weight matters.
- Alloy or coated variants: Offer a balance of cost, strength, and resistance, often used in marine or chemical environments.
What sizes and thread types are available for metal cable glands?
- Metric threads: M12, M16, M20, M25, M32, M40, M50 and up to M63, in inline or bulkhead variants.
- Imperial/NPT threads: NPT options for regions or applications requiring standard pipe-thread formats.
- PG threads: Traditional PG7, PG9, PG11, PG13.5 variants found in older equipment and certain installations.
How do I install a metal cable gland correctly in an enclosure?
- Choose the correct gland size, thread type, and IP rating for your cable and enclosure.
- Prepare the seal: use the supplied gasket or O-ring appropriate for the gland and gasket material compatibility with enclosure material.
- Drill or punch the correct knockout and clean the mounting hole to avoid gaps.
- Insert the gland body through the enclosure until the flange or mounting shoulder sits flush.
- Place the gasket, if required, and fit the locknut to secure the gland. For armored cables, ensure armour bonding and use a suitable sealing washer if provided.
- Insert the cable through the sealing element, tighten the compression nut or gland nut to the recommended torque. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the gasket or fibre/armour.
- Route and clamp the cable or armour to relieve strain and maintain horizontal alignment to reduce bending stress.
Are metal cable glands suitable for outdoor use or hazardous locations?
- IP ratings: IP66, IP68, or higher for water, dust, and immersion protection in external or washdown environments.
- Material choices: Stainless steel or coated options for superior corrosion resistance.
- Hazardous area approvals: ATEX or IECEx certifications for explosive atmospheres (gas or dust) with flameproof or intrinsic safety classifications.
- Environmental specifications: Temperature ranges, UV resistance, and chemical exposure tolerance.
What is the difference between standard, flameproof, and explosion-proof metal cable glands?
- Standard metal glands: Built for general industrial use with good sealing and mechanical protection; rely on IP ratings for enclosure protection.
- Flameproof (Ex d) glands: Designed to contain an internal fault without igniting a surrounding explosive atmosphere, suitable for certain hazardous zones and equipment interiors when used with compliant housings.
- Explosion-proof (Ex e, Ex td, Ex d) glands: Certified for use in hazardous areas with certified enclosures or equipment; depend on the combination of gland, cable, and enclosure for overall safety.
What accessories accompany metal cable glands and how do I choose them?
- Seals and gaskets: O-rings or flat gaskets for IP sealing and gasketing compatibility with enclosure materials.
- Locknuts: Used to secure the gland from the exterior; some designs use captive nuts or hex nuts.
- Sealing washers: For armour or armour-terminated cables to improve bonding and sealing.
- Compression rings and nuts: For compression-type glands that seal around the cable jacket or armour.
- Cable clamps and strain relief: Optional accessories to reduce movement and mechanical stress on the cable entry.
How do I determine the right gland size for my cable and armor?
What standards and certifications apply to metal cable glands?
- IP rating (IEC 60529): Defines ingress protection against solids and liquids.
- Electrical safety and compatibility: CE marking for Europe; UL or CSA approvals where required.
- RoHS: Restriction of hazardous substances compliance.
- Hazardous area certifications: ATEX and IECEx for explosion-protected environments; Ex e, Ex d classifications as applicable.
- Mechanical and performance standards: EN and IEC standards for mechanical strength and sealing performance.
How can I maintain metal cable glands for long service life?
- Regularly inspect seals, gaskets, and O-rings for cracks or deformation; replace if damaged.
- Check the torque on locknuts or compression fittings and re-torque if specified by the manufacturer.
- Keep gland bodies clean and free of corrosive residues; wipe with compatible cleaners and avoid aggressive solvents that may attack seals.
- Use compatible anti-corrosion coatings or lubricants only when recommended; avoid penetrating greases that could affect sealing performance.
- Replace worn or damaged armour connectors and ensure the enclosure maintains its IP rating after maintenance.
What are some tips for selecting metal cable glands for automation and control panels?
- Common gland types for panels include metric M-series glands with captive nuts for easy mounting and reliable sealing.
- Armor compatibility if using shielded or braided cables; ensure the gland supports armour bonding and termination.
- Preferred IP ratings (IP66/IP68) to withstand washdowns and dust ingress in factory floors.
- Availability of accessories like sealing rings, locknuts, and strain-relief options for neat cable management.
- Mounting hardware compatibility with enclosure materials (steel, stainless steel, or polycarbonate) to avoid galvanic corrosion.
