PG Type Cable Glands

PG Type Cable Glands

PG Type Cable Glands are a widely used type of cable gland that conform to the PG (Panzer-Gewinde) thread standard, which is a German standard for threads used in cable glands and other applications. PG cable glands are designed to provide secure and watertight cable entry points into enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment while protecting against environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and mechanical stresses.

Here are some key points about PG Type Cable Glands:

Thread Standard: PG stands for “Panzer-Gewinde,” which translates to “armored thread” in English. The PG thread standard defines the dimensions and specifications for the threads used in cable glands and other related components.

Functions and Features: PG Type Cable Glands offer functions similar to other cable glands:

  1. Cable Entry:They create a sealed entry point for cables into enclosures or equipment, preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
  2. Strain Relief:These glands provide mechanical support to cables, reducing strain and preventing excessive bending or tension at the point of entry.

Variety of Sizes: PG cable glands come in various sizes (PG7, PG9, PG11, PG13.5, PG16, etc.), each corresponding to a specific thread size and cable diameter. This allows for versatility in accommodating different cable sizes.

Sealing Elements: PG cable glands usually include sealing elements such as rubber or elastomeric seals that provide watertight and weatherproof protection.

Applications: PG Type Cable Glands are commonly used across industries such as manufacturing, machinery, automation, and telecommunications. They are particularly valuable in applications where cables need to be protected against harsh environmental conditions.
