Cable gland range developed locally
A locally developed, designed and manufactured double-compression cable gland range aims to provide the mining and oil and gas industries with an all-inclusive, safe and efficient electrical installation solution.
The AMPgland’s design incorporates two O-rings on the shielding cone. The double-compression O-ring prevents the intrusion of contaminants such as water and dust which may be trapped between the two O-rings, preventing contact with armour and ensuring effective cable securing and sealing capabilities. In addition to achieving high strain relief and explosion-proof protection, the special shape of the gland’s lower and upper seal gives it an ingress protection 66/68 rating.
The AMPgland range from Proof Engineering Solutions, a Division of Hudaco, includes the Orion, Crater and Taurus Exd. cable glands. The company asserts that the range is specifically designed to ensure easy installation and maintenance, reduced costs and downtime and that, as long as the diameter of the used cable is within the declared clamping range, there is no need to change, remove or adjust any internal components.
The swivelling shielding cone for clamping armour is secured to the upper and lower body by the O-rings, preventing the shielding cone from being lost during disassembly of the cable gland during installation. As the internal parts are fixed only with the O-rings, they can be removed with a simple pulling movement during inspection, reducing the risk of damage to the cables and minimising maintenance.
Proof Engineering manufactures and supplies a range of flameproof and explosion-proof products, including plugs, sockets, connectors, adaptors, couplers, plug couplers and luminaires and positions itself as a turnkey solutions provider for almost any electrical installation.
