What is an Explosion Proof Cable Gland?
A cable gland is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to equipment. In hazardous environments, a standard gland simply won’t do. A cable gland explosion proof is engineered to prevent the transmission of flames or sparks from inside an enclosure to the external atmosphere.
Common types include:
-
Ex proof cable gland – suitable for Class I, Division 1 areas.
-
Hawke cable glands – trusted worldwide for hazardous location enclosures.
-
Armored cable glands – providing additional strength and protection.
-
ATEX cable glands – fully certified for European Ex Zones.
Why Explosion Proof Cable Glands Matter
Using the wrong gland in a hazardous area can result in catastrophic failures. Proper hazardous area cable glands ensure:
-
Compliance with ATEX enclosures and IECEx requirements.
-
Protection against gas, dust, and moisture ingress.
-
Safety in ex zones such as Class 1 Div 1 cable glands or Class 1 Div 2 cable glands installations.
-
Durability in industries where vibration, corrosion, or extreme weather conditions exist.
At Ex Industries, our products—including hawke international solutions and hawke electrical inc designs—are tested for reliability in the harshest environments.
