ATEX glands
ATEX glands are specialized mechanical devices that play a key role in electrical installations located in hazardous areas. Their main task is to protect cable connections, while ensuring the tightness and integrity of the enclosures to which they are connected. Thanks to them, it is possible to safely insert cables into electrical, instrumentation, control and automation equipment, protecting against the penetration of flammable gases, dust and moisture.
Design and materials
ATEX glands can be made of various materials, including metals (stainless steel, nickel-plated brass) and corrosion-resistant plastics. The choice of material depends on the environmental conditions in which the gland will operate. In explosive atmospheres, it is necessary for glands to be corrosion-resistant and to withstand extreme temperatures and other adverse conditions.
HCG2 series of cable glands for armoured cables is available in a variety of sizes ranging from M16 to M90 and thread types including metric and NPT. They are an excellent option for enteering cables into enclosures, cable strain relief, sealing enclosures and assisting in dust, moisture and water protection, as well as for industrial applications where there is significant contamination by water, vibration or extreme temperatures.

Application of ATEX glands
These glands are not only robust, but also functional. They provide an airtight seal, preventing flammable substances from entering the equipment enclosure, which is key to protecting against the risk of explosion. With a design designed to withstand extreme conditions such as high pressures and temperatures, ATEX glands offer high mechanical resistance and long service life. This translates into lower operating costs and long-term reliability.
In industry, ATEX cable glands are widely used in sectors such as refineries, chemical processing plants, mines, and in the power and food industries. Their versatility and compliance with international safety standards make them an ideal choice for various applications where reliable explosion protection is required.
