About Stepped Glands IP 54
Cable entry as a stepped grommet. For ambient temperature maximum +40 C and minimum 25 C, at relative humidity 50% at 40 C or 100% at 25 C. Degree of protection according to IEC 60529: IP 55. Material: TPE, flame-retardant, halogen- and silicone-free. Color: gray, RAL 7035. Make: HENSEL. Type: STM.
Tool-Free, Multi-Diameter AdaptabilityEfficiently accommodate multiple cable sizes with the stepped knock-out design, which allows users to cut the gland to the required entry diameter. The simple push-fit installation eliminates the need for additional tools, saving time and ensuring a secure seal with minimal effort. This user-focused flexibility is ideal for both professional installers and manufacturers.
IP54 Protection and Material AssuranceThe strong Polyamide PA-6 material provides UV resistance and safeguards cables against dust and water splashes, ensuring longevity in demanding conditions. With compliance to RoHS and halogen-free standards, these glands offer added environmental and operational safety. Their matte light grey finish blends seamlessly into industrial and commercial setups.
FAQ's of Stepped Glands IP 54:
Q: How do I install the Stepped Gland to fit my desired cable diameter?
A: To install, simply select the step that matches your cable diameter, trim along the predefined groove, and push the gland into the panel opening. Insert the cable through the adjusted aperture. No tightening tool is required; the compression fit secures the setup.
Q: What are the main benefits of using these stepped glands?
A: These glands offer multi-diameter compatibility, UV resistance, and IP54 protection against dust and water splashes. They facilitate tool-free installation, and their RoHS compliance and halogen-free construction ensure they are safe for use in sensitive environments.
Q: When should I use a stepped gland over a standard cable gland?
A: Choose a stepped gland when your project requires accommodating different cable diameters within the same enclosure, or when quick, tool-free installation is advantageous, such as in panel assembly, retrofits, or field-based electrical work.
Q: Where are these cable glands most commonly installed?
A: Stepped glands are commonly used in electrical enclosures, control panels, junction boxes, and other installations requiring cable entry and environmental sealing, particularly throughout industrial and commercial applications in India.
Q: What type of cables and panels can these glands be used with?
A: They are suitable for round cables within the 8mm to 21mm diameter range and can be mounted into compatible panel openings (M16/M20/M25 stepped sizes), thanks to the flexible, push-fit design and durable polyamide construction.
Q: Are these glands reusable after cutting to size?
A: No, the stepped glands are intended for single-use once trimmed to the desired diameter. After cutting, reuse is not recommended as the integrity of the seal and fitting may be compromised.
