The cable gland is a suitable power source for connecting cables and can also protect cables, so it will not escape. Cable sealing devices are placed in different categories, depending on whether the glands are used in general processing industries or require protection to prevent the risk of excessive temperature or explosion. Cable armor or no armor layer integrated into the gland and a different type of gland will be required for each variety. The gland itself can be made of metals such as copper, aluminum, or plastic, each of which is useful in different environments.
After electrical work is completed, it may not have cable seals to ensure the wiring of electrical equipment, but there are several reasons why this is a bad idea. The gland provides sealing power to ensure that the cable does not slip during operation. Safety is also provided because the glands ensure that electrical energy can not attach to cables near anyone, causing personal injury. Glands usually provide other safety functions, such as grounding wires or insulated cables
There are two main categories for cable sealing: industrial and hazardous. The industrial cable sealing joint is a general-purpose gland that meets the requirements of general danger, so it is useful for use in high-temperature environments or the risk of explosion. If the environment is hazardous, use dangerous glands as these glands meet necessary additional requirements. They are additional reinforcements that enable them to resist temperatures and external forces that ordinary glands cannot withstand.
Two types of cables can be placed in the cable gland and classified as armored or unarmored, which will play a role in the gland's work. Armored cables will require a gland that can clamp onto wires and have the ability to terminate energy from the armored portion. Non armored wires do not require termination, but glands need to be highly protected and retained to maintain the safety of the wires.
Most cable shielding wire gland units are made of brass, which is considered to be corrosion-resistant and conductive as a general material. In the presence of aluminum and water, brass can begin to corrode at the same time. Brass is often plated with other metals to make the glands stronger and better resistant to corrosion. Plastic is often used as a substitute for metal glands.
