653/Universal Cable Gland (Group 1 Mining)
Application
Mining.
For use with single wire armour ‘W’, wire braid ‘X’ and steel tape armour ‘Z’ elastomer and plastic insulated cables.
For particular use with :-
a) Cables that are not effectively filled, compact and/or circular, have tape bedding or have hygroscopic fillers.
b) Cables that exhibit ‘cold flow’ characteristics.
c) Enclosures containing an ignition source.
Features
Provides a barrier seal between the individual insulated cores within the cable and prevents entry of the products of an explosion into the cable.
Assembly of the cable gland compresses and distributes the compound evenly to create a barrier seal at the point of entry into the enclosure.
The compound chamber may be separated from the cured compound to ensure that the chamber has been effectively filled. If required, external voids can be repaired.
Provides armour clamping, using one clamping arrangement for W, X & Z armour/braid types.
Provides a cable retention seal and low smoke and fume, zero halogen seal onto the cables outer sheath.
