Cable Glands And Accessories

Product Details:

Double Compression Cable Gland is a mechanical cable entry device used to securely terminate and seal armoured cables into electrical equipment. “Double compression” means the gland provides two separate sealing actions: Outer sheath sealing & Inner insulation / armour sealing. This ensures excellent mechanical grip, environmental protection, and electrical safety, especially in flameproof (Ex d) equipment.

Various Names: Double Compression Gland, Double Seal Cable Gland, Flameproof Cable Gland, Ex d Cable Gland, Armoured Cable Gland, Explosion Proof Cable Gland, Hazardous Area Cable Gland, Brass / SS Cable Gland (Double Compression Type)

Construction & Main Parts: A typical double compression cable gland consists of:

• Gland body (Brass or Stainless Steel)
• Inner sealing ring (for inner sheath / insulation)
• Outer sealing ring (for outer sheath)
• Armour clamping cone
• Compression nut
• Lock nut
• Earth tag (optional)
• Shroud (optional)

How It Works (Double Compression Principle)

1. Cable is inserted through the gland
2. Tightening the gland nut causes: Inner compression on cable insulation. Outer compression on cable outer sheath
3. Armour wires are firmly clamped between cone and body
4. Provides: Excellent strain relief. Effective ingress protection. Secure earthing continuity. Gas-tight sealing (important for flameproof integrity)

How It Is Used in Flameproof Equipment: In flameproof (Ex d) enclosures, double compression glands are used to: Maintain flameproof integrity, Prevent flame or hot gas transmission through the cable entry, Ensure mechanical strength under fault conditions, Provide safe earthing of cable armour

Only certified Ex d glands are allowed.

Where It Is Used (Applications): It is mainly used with Flameproof Electrical Equipment: Flameproof light fittings, Flameproof junction boxes, Flameproof motors, Flameproof control stations, Flameproof panel boards, Flameproof switches & sockets

Hazardous Locations: Oil & gas refineries, Petrochemical plants, Chemical industries, Offshore platforms, LNG terminals

Why Only Brass & Stainless Steel?. Non-sparking materials, High mechanical strength, Excellent corrosion resistance, Suitable for harsh and explosive environments, Comply with ATEX / IECEx / IS standards

Aluminum and plastic glands are not permitted for flameproof (Ex d) equipment.

Key Advantages: Superior sealing and safety, High pull-out strength, Maintains explosion protection, Long service life, Reliable performance in harsh environments
