Stainless Steel Glands

A stainless steel gland is a metal cable gland whose body and clamping head are made of stainless steel and which seals the entry by clamping the cable with its seal. It is used on food and pharmaceutical production lines, on machines that are washed down, and in panels exposed to moisture and chemicals, where the metal body must resist corrosion. The Ortaç glands in this category come in metric thread sizes such as M 16, M 25, M 40, M 63 and PG sizes such as PG 9, PG 16, PG 29. Choose the stainless gland according to thread type and size, the clamping range covering the cable outer diameter, the steel grade suited to the chemicals in the environment and the required IP rating. Stainless glands are made in different steel grades such as AISI 303 and AISI 316L; since the grade is not written in the product name, verify the grade from the manufacturer data for environments containing seawater, chloride or acid. A nickel-plated brass gland looks similar, but it does not replace a stainless gland in food and pharmaceutical projects that require stainless steel.
