What is a Marine Cable Gland

Aug 7, 2023

A Marine Cable Gland is sealing device used for cable entry in industrial electrical industry, shaped like a sleeve.
Filling some epoxy glue in the Marine Cable Gland when cable passing through it to achieve explosion-proof, waterproof and dust-proof sealing.

When used in a nautical environment, a Marine Cable Gland is wrapped around the shaft of the boat’s propeller.
Since most boat propellers are submerged in water, liquids can easily cause propeller failure without a Marine Cable Gland, which is why a marine cable gland is required.
For steam engines, Marine Cable Gland is strategically placed within the piston area.
The main purpose of a steam case is to prevent cylinder steam from leaking into the engine.
Since steam engines produce large amounts of steam, this type of prevention is not possible without proper sealants. If steam enters the engine area, the engine may stop working.
Like the marine case, the steam engine Marine Cable Gland allows the engine to work without the risk of water or steam damage.
In addition, Marine Cable Gland have been widely used in shipbuilding, power distribution cabinet manufacturers, rolling stock, bridges, electric power and communications and many other industries.

These have some tips as below, when you choosing a Marine Cable Gland:
1. Checking whether the Marine Cable Gland is flat and smooth. The edges should be free of sharp corners, burrs, cracks and nicks.
2. The surface of the Marine Cable Gland should be galvanized and passivated.
3. There shall be no slippage or looseness when the Marine Cable Gland is tightened.
4. Pay attention to the protection level of the Marine Cable Gland.

What is the Importance Of Cable Glands For Outdoor Lamps?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The application of outdoor lighting can be seen everywhere in our life nowadays. The old-fashioned way to connector wire such as wrap a few layers of insulating glue unable to meet the requirements of outdoor lamps. You will know how importance of cable glands for outdoor lamps in the article. Why need the cable glands for outdoor lamps? The distance from the power supply to the lamp holder is generally large in outdoor lighting systems. Connected the wires directly together are easily cause disconnection, and the poor contact of the interface can easily cause heat. Compared to indoor use, the requirements of waterproof salt, and aging willbe relatively high when lamps are used outdoors. At this time, cable glands is particularly important. Not only make the installation of the power grid more easily, but also will reduced all hidden safety risks to a very low level. What kinds of cable glands more suitable?

Moreover, you can use a junction box instead cable glands when you use more than one cable. The cable glands produced by Jixiang Connector can reduce material costs and installation time, while being environmentally friendly and durable. Welcome to contact us for more details![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Brass cable glands VS Stainless steel cable glands
Brass cable glands VS Stainless steel cable glands
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The cable glands made of nickel-plated brass and stainless steel are robust and extremely suitable for industrial widely use. However this article will focus on a comparison of Brass cable glands and Stainless steel cable glands. Brass cable glands Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and occasionally other metals. In general, Brass cable glands is plated with nickel to be reduce tarnishing and corrosion. Stainless steel cable glands While brass is a copper alloy, stainless steel is an iron alloy mixed with chromium and nickel. There are many different grades of stainless steel used for making cable gland, such as 304 and 316. This comparison of Brass cable glands and Stainless steel cable glands has provided us a number of significant differences to consider. The Difference: An Overview Cost Effective Stainless steel cable glands are more expensive than Brass cable glands. Therefore Brass cable glands is often a more cost-effective option without compromising functionality. In fact, stainless steel is harder than brass and has a higher melting point, making it more difficult than brass to cast and machine. Corrosion Resistance Brass cable glands is generally more corrosion-resistant than Stainless steel cable glands. While the addition of chromium to steel makes a whole lot of difference to its ability to resist rust, it is still susceptible to corrosion at some degree. Stainless steel cable glands, on the contrary, has a higher resistance to petroleum products and many acids than brass, and it can be passivated in either citric or nitric acid solutions. Some grades of stainless steel are also superior to brass in more-aggressive marine environments such as fast-moving currents. Hygiene One of the most major differences between brass and stainless steel material is that stainless steel is 100% lead-free. Stainless steel is extremely hygienic, harsh wash downs, microbes, and bacteria will be resisted to ensure your production line working in a normal state. Thus Stainless steel cable glands is used more widely than Brass cable glands in beverage industry, food manufacturing industry, etc. Brass and stainless steel cable glands are perform well in varying conditions. Both of them are excellent choices of material for your wire job.
