Ex-e Cable Glands for Non-Armoured Cables

Ex-e Cable Glands for Non-Armoured Cables can be approached as a practical engineering requirement: the component or assembly must suit the equipment, its operating conditions and the way it will be installed. The particular requirement here is hazardous-area gland options where the incoming cable is not armoured. AP Technology works with UK and international manufacturers, subcontractors and systems integrators on specialist interconnection requirements.

Applications and engineering considerations

Consider specified increased-safety industrial enclosures: poor matching of the cable, connector and installation arrangement can cause rework even where each individual component is sound. AP Technology distributes Bimed cable glands and related cable-entry products. The published range includes plastic and metallic glands, spiral, double-seal, EMC, stainless steel and Ex-proof options together with conduit fittings.

Before selecting a part or assembly, establish Ex protection concept, cable build and certification. Check the original equipment documents and identify any relevant electrical, environmental or industry approval requirements. A cable gland is part of the enclosure protection system. Its suitability depends on thread type, cable outer diameter, seal, strain relief, exposure, mounting surface and any required electrical continuity or hazardous-area certification.

Supply and technical support from AP Technology

AP Technology can discuss the Bimed range alongside the related cable construction and accessory requirements. Specifications such as IP rating, EMC capability or ATEX suitability must always be checked against the exact gland model and installed configuration. At enquiry stage, it helps to provide the equipment manufacturer, intended duty, operating environment and any legacy connector or cable reference. Where the requirement is bespoke, a wiring schedule or drawing is particularly valuable.
