High Temperature Silicone Seal Cable Glands

Heat will often find the weakest point in a sealed entry, and that is frequently the seal itself. AP Technology offers cable glands with silicone seals to special order, for applications where standard nitrile or neoprene would run out of temperature headroom. They can suit ovens, furnaces, heated process plant and other hot equipment. Bear in mind that the cable needs to be up to the same temperature as well, so review both components together and not just the gland. Design details make the difference during installation. There are no screw clamps to damage cable insulation, a lamellate construction gives equal cable compression, and a trapeze thread eliminates cross threading. Metallic versions in nickel plated brass carry the same IP68 protection with a waterproof neoprene seal and a polyamide clamping insert, and they are available with metric, Pg, NPT and Eurometric threads. For potentially explosive areas, Bimed Ex proof glands are available in plastic and in nickel plated brass versions for armoured and non armoured cable, with ATEX approval to increased safety level e.

Final selection should always be checked against the current certificate and the zoning of your installation. If nothing standard fits, bespoke glands can also be produced by modifying existing tools or by creating new tooling. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account. Need a price or some technical advice on high temperature silicone seal cable glands?
