BRASS FLANGE TYPE CABLE GLAND

About BRASS FLANGE TYPE CABLE GLAND

Brass flange type cable glands are heavy-dutymechanical cable termination devices, typically machined from high-grade brasscastings (often nickel-plated) for use with armoured cables in indoor oroutdoor environments. Featuring an oval-shaped base flange secured by steelstuds and nuts, they ensure robust armor clamping, superior cable retention,and electrical continuity, usually conforming to IP66/IP68 standards. 

Detailed Description and Components

These mechanical glands, often simply called "flangeglands," are designed to provide both high mechanical strength andreliable earthing. 

• Flange Body : The primary base plate, which is fixed to the electrical enclosure, typically mounted with galvanized mild steel studs and nuts.
• Taper Cone: Positioned inside the gland, it provides a firm grip on the armor of the cable, ensuring secure termination.
• Clamping Plate: A top plate that holds the armor securely against the taper cone, managed by external studs/nuts.
• Check Nut: Secures the cable gland to the gland plate.
• Material: Usually high-grade brass (IS 319) with natural or nickel-plated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance. 

Key Features

• Armor Clamping: Specifically designed to grip armor wire, providing superior grounding and mechanical anchorage compared to standard glands.
• Robustness: Engineered to withstand high tension and heavy vibration, often used in outdoor substations and mining.
• Weatherproof: Suitable for outdoor environments; often used with shrouds to offer protection against harsh environmental conditions.
• Size Range: Available in a wide variety of sizes to match armored cable diameters.
