What is a Metal Cable Gland?

A metal cable gland is a mechanical device used to securely connect and seal the end of an electrical cable to equipment, such as control panels, junction boxes, or machinery. It provides strain relief, environmental protection, and, in many cases, electrical grounding for the cable.

Typically made from brass or stainless steel, metal cable glands are designed for use in harsh or industrial environments where durability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength are essential. They are commonly used in sectors like manufacturing, automation, marine, and energy.

In addition to standard sealing functions, metal cable glands may also include features like IP68 waterproof ratings, EMC shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference, or ATEX certifications for use in explosive atmospheres.

How Does the Metal Cable Gland Work?

Metal cable glands are used in a wide range of applications, from electronics to heavy industry. They are typically made up of three parts: a body, a locking nut, and a sealing washer.

A metal cable gland works by firmly clamping and sealing the cable where it enters the enclosure. When tightened, it compresses the seal around the cable, providing strain relief, environmental protection, and in some cases, electrical grounding for the armored cable. This ensures a secure, waterproof, and vibration-resistant connection in industrial or hazardous environments.

Difference Between Single and Double Compression Cable Gland

Single-press cable glands feature a single sealing mechanism that clamps around the outer cable jacket. These types of glands are typically used in light- to medium-duty applications where mechanical stress is low. They are easy to install and ideal for indoor installations or where the cable will not be exposed to extreme conditions.

Double-press cable glands, on the other hand, provide sealing at both the outer jacket and the inner armor (for armored cables). This makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications such as hazardous areas, outdoor installations, or high-vibration, wet, or dusty environments. They offer enhanced strain relief and better protection against ingress, and are typically available with IP66/IP68 ratings and optional explosion-proof features.

Brass Cable Gland FAQ

What materials are metal cable glands made from?

Common materials include brass, nickel-plated brass, and stainless steel. The choice depends on environmental conditions like corrosion, temperature, or chemical exposure.

What protection ratings do metal cable glands offer?

Most metal cable glands are rated IP66 or IP68, meaning they protect against dust and high-pressure water or immersion.

Are there cable glands suitable for hazardous areas?

Yes, certain metal cable glands are ATEX and IECEx certified for use in explosive or hazardous environments.

Can metal cable glands provide EMI/EMC protection?

Yes, EMC cable glands include features that maintain electromagnetic shielding, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from interference.

How do I choose the right thread type?

Thread types (e.g., Metric, PG, NPT) must match the thread on your enclosure or panel entry. Always check thread compatibility before purchasing.

Are metal cable glands reusable?

Some parts may be reusable depending on design, but it’s generally recommended to use new glands during reinstallation to maintain sealing integrity.

Do I need a different gland for armored vs. unarmored cables?

Yes. Armored cables require glands with additional compression and grounding features. Unarmored cables can use standard single compression glands.
