What Are Cable Glands?
Cable glands are connection elements that securely guide electrical cables through enclosure walls, control boxes, or other closed components. They provide stable fixation of the cable, protect against mechanical strain, and prevent the ingress of moisture, dust, or dirt into sensitive parts.
In the field of tail lifts, lift gates, and similar lifting systems, they contribute to the operational reliability and longevity of the entire system.
Benefits of Cable Glands:
• Reliable Sealing: Depending on the design, cable glands offer protection ratings up to IP68, preventing water and dirt from entering control housings and connections.
• Mechanical Relief: They protect cables from damage caused by pulling, bending, or vibrations.
• Versatile Designs: Available in plastic, brass, or stainless steel and in various sizes and thread types to fit almost all cable types.
Cable Glands for Tail Lifts
High-quality cable glands are made from durable materials such as glass-fiber reinforced polyamide, nickel-plated brass, or stainless steel. Combined with long-lasting elastomer seals, they provide excellent resistance to oil, fuels, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures.
Our range includes versions for standard applications as well as for demanding environments requiring enhanced protection.
Typical Applications in Tail Lifts:
• Connection of hand cable switches or control boxes
• Routing of power and control cables
• Protection of sensitive electronics in outdoor areas
Protection Against Short Circuits and Corrosion
Defective or leaking cable glands can cause short circuits, malfunctions, or corrosion damage. Therefore, they should be regularly checked for firm seating, intact seals, and undamaged threads. We offer 100% compatible cable glands as spare parts for tail lifts from all common manufacturers. Rely on quality and ensure the long-term safety of your systems today.
