Reliable Cable Entry and Protection for Industrial Electrical Installations
Cable glands are essential components in electrical installations, providing a controlled entry point for cables passing into enclosures, junction boxes and electrical equipment. The Partex PXA2-50S M50 cable gland is designed for unarmoured cables, using a compression sealing arrangement to help secure the cable and protect the enclosure entry against environmental contamination.
The 31.5–37.0 mm cable diameter range makes this gland suitable for larger unarmoured power and control cables with compatible outer sheath dimensions. Selecting the correct gland size is important for achieving effective cable retention and sealing. Installers should check the cable's actual outside diameter rather than relying solely on its conductor cross-sectional area.
Unlike cable glands intended for armoured cables, an A1/A2 unarmoured gland does not provide armour clamping or an electrical earth connection through cable armour. Where an electrical installation requires a protective earth conductor, this must be provided through an appropriate earthing arrangement in accordance with the installation requirements.
For dependable installation, the PXA2-50S should be fitted to a compatible M50 threaded entry or gland plate using the appropriate mounting and sealing accessories. The final environmental protection of the assembly depends on the gland configuration, enclosure, installation method and any additional sealing components.
