Not all glands are equal
For applications in demanding environments, then the Metal Progress and Polyamide GFK Range from AGRO is the perfect solution. These glands have high quality seal that clamps around the full 360° of the cable and does not loosen over time.
For general applications, glands with lamellar technology are commonplace and have a number of 'fingers' that clamp around parts the cable to a suitable IP rating. To maintain the IP rating on lamellar type glands, it is recommended that they are re-tightened over time as part of a maintenance regime.
These are generally the most cost-effective glands offered from many manufactures. AGRO offer the Syntec Economy Range in nickel plated brass and plastic to fulfill this market.
