Cable gland STAHL

These cable glands are particularly suited to armoured cables used mainly in areas where British Standards apply. The new cable gland Series 8163 are available for non-armoured and all for all types of armoured & braided cables. They fulfil all requirements of the European ATEX-directives and of the relevant IEC and British Standards. Their modular design allows exact adjustment to the respective cable constructions.
In addition on the normal sealing of the cable sheath, secure clamping of the armouring is essential since this armouring is used, not only for mechanical protection, but also contributes to te electrical protection. If the armouring becomes "live" it works as a protection or earthing conductor and must, therefore, be connected reliably to the protective conductor system via the cable gland. These cable glands are available "Ex" equipment in both "increased safety" and "flameproof" enclosures.
