Product Description
A Double Compression Cable Gland is a high-security electrical fitting designed specifically for armoured cables (such as SWA - Steel Wire Armour). Unlike a single compression gland which only grips the outer sheath, a double compression gland provides two distinct levels of sealing and mechanical retention.
The "Double" Mechanism
-
Inner Compression: The first seal compresses against the inner bedding (the layer under the armour). This creates a moisture-proof and gas-tight barrier, protecting the core conductors and preventing "wicking" of liquids or gases through the cable.
-
Outer Compression: The second seal compresses against the outer sheath. This provides the primary environmental protection (IP66/IP67/IP68) against rain, dust, and corrosive elements.
Key Components & Features
-
Armour Clamping Ring: A specialized cone and ring system sits between the two seals. It "bites" onto the steel or aluminum wires of the cable armour, providing 360 electrical continuity (earthing) and massive mechanical pull-out resistance.
-
Materials: Most commonly manufactured from Nickel-Plated Brass or Stainless Steel 316L for maximum durability in industrial environments.
-
Weatherproof & Flameproof: Many double compression glands are dual-certified (Ex d and Ex e), meaning they are safe for use in explosive atmospheres and hazardous zones.
Applications
Double compression glands are the standard choice for heavy-duty industrial projects where cable failure is not an option:
-
Oil & Gas: Offshore platforms and refineries where gas-tight sealing is mandatory.
-
Power Plants: High-voltage distribution involving armored cables.
-
Mining & Marine: Environments with high vibration and constant exposure to moisture or salt spray.
-
Infrastructure: Underground tunneling and railway signaling systems.
Advantages Over Single Compression
-
Enhanced Safety: The inner seal acts as a backup; if the outer sheath is damaged, the inner seal still prevents water from reaching the electrical terminations.
-
Superior Strain Relief: The mechanical grip on the armour ensures the cable cannot be pulled out of the enclosure even under extreme physical stress.
Unmatched Protection and Security
Double Compression Cable Glands offer outstanding protection with an ingress rating up to IP68, making them suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications where superior sealing against dust and water is critical. Their design minimizes risks of cable damage and maintains system safety even in hazardous environments.
Versatility Across Applications
With compatibility for armoured and unarmoured cables, these glands are ideal for industrial electrical panels, mining, junction boxes, and hazardous zones. Their robust construction and high-tensile materials ensure long-term reliability, even in vibration-prone or high-temperature environments.
Customizable to Fit Your Needs
Available in a wide range of thread types (Metric, BSP, NPT), sizes (16mm to 90mm), and finishes (natural, nickel-plated, electrotinned), these cable glands can be fine-tuned for any installation requirement. Custom lengths and material options like stainless steel or aluminum can be supplied to meet specific environmental demands.
FAQ's of DOUBLE COMPRESSION CABLE GLAND:
Q: How does a double compression cable gland enhance cable safety and protection?
A: Double compression cable glands independently seal both the armor and inner sheath of the cable, offering superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP68) and minimizing the risk of dust, moisture, or contaminants entering electrical enclosures.Q: What types of cables are compatible with these glands, and where can they be used?
A: These glands are designed to fit both armoured (steel or aluminum armor) and unarmoured cables. They are suitable for installation in mining sites, electrical panels, junction boxes, and any environment requiring robust cable entry solutions, including hazardous and safe zones.Q: When should I request ATEX/IECEx flameproof type approval for this product?
A: ATEX/IECEx flameproof approval should be requested when the cable gland will be used in environments classified as hazardous-such as explosive atmospheres-to ensure compliance with international safety standards for flameproof equipment.Q: What are the available thread and finish options for these cable glands?
A: You can choose Metric, BSP, or NPT cable entry threads. Finish options include natural brass, electro tinned, or nickel plated. Stainless steel and aluminum versions are available upon request to suit various environmental and compatibility needs.Q: What is the process for installing the double compression cable gland?
A: Installation involves selecting the correct size, placing the gland through the gland plate or panel hole, securing it with the provided washers and locknut, and tightening to compress both the armor and cable sheath. This process ensures reliable sealing and vibration resistance.Q: What is the benefit of choosing double compression over single compression glands?
A: Double compression glands provide enhanced sealing at two points: the armor and the inner cable sheath. This dual-layer protection delivers higher ingress protection, better vibration resistance, and maximum security for cables in demanding industrial applications.
