For this reason, apart from our standard solutions, we also offer solutions for specific applications that meet the most stringent requirements. Hygienic design cable gland Fire protection cable gland In production plants, cable installations for power supply and data transmission provide the connections between individual machines, control devices and switch cabinets. They are, in a certain sense, the nervous system of the plant. For this reason, the cables need to be inserted through a hole in the respective enclosure so that they can be fixed at the corresponding contact point. They must fulfil basic requirements that contribute to the safety of the entire machine or system. On the one hand, this is the strain relief, which holds the cable securely and tightly so that it cannot be pulled out of the enclosure and interrupt the transmission of power or data. And secondly, the tightness, which prevents water and dust from entering the enclosure and interfering with the function. Further properties can be found under "Basic properties for universal applications" on this page. PFLITSCH offers a coordinated system of appropriate cable glands for a range of applications in various industries that meet the most stringent requirements. Depending on the application and its technical requirements, such as chemical resistance or resistance to temperature and weathering, we manufacture the gland bodies of our cable glands from stainless steel, nickel-plated brass, polyamide and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Accordingly, we produce the sealing inserts in the variants thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), vulcanised thermoplastic elastomers (TPE-V) and silicone. A cable strain relief not only needs to fulfil basic, but also highly specific functions, depending on the requirement and area of application. In rail vehicles, for example, fire protection cable glands are used that, in addition to the basic characteristics, must also possess sophisticated fire protection properties. And in automation, EMC cable glands are used that go above and beyond the usual properties by reliably discharging electromagnetic interference. The decisive factors are always which properties are required and to which degree, to ensure that the cable entry precisely matches the respective application and is neither undersized nor oversized. Below we provide you with an overview of all the properties and for which applications they are required. Environmental factors such as dust and moisture can penetrate the enclosure at the cable entry and interfere with the function. In this case, the cable entry needs to ensure that the enclosure is securely sealed towards the inside. The type of protection IP (International Protection) provides information regarding the tightness. It consists of two key indicators: The first of these stands for tightness against dust. The second one stands for protection from water. Many variants of the blueglobe cable glands achieve type of protection IP 69; the 6 stands for complete dust-tightness and the 9 for maximum protection against penetration by water during high-pressure and steam cleaning. The point where a cable makes contact in a machine or switch cabinet is always critical. The strain relief feature ensures that the inserted cables are held securely and thus reliably take the strain off the contact points inside an enclosure. PFLITSCH cable glands achieve this by means of soft pressing, which ensures that the cable is held securely without being either constricted or even damaged. For exceptional strain relief requirements, we offer specialised solutions such as the UNI Clamping with bracket clamps, which can absorb tensile forces of up to 500 N. Certain industries require cable entries with a particularly high level of temperature resistance. Others, in turn, call for operational capability across an exceptionally wide range of temperatures, including the railway and the electric mobility industries, where cable entries can be exposed to the high operating tempe
