A cable clamping apparatus (2) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing (4) defining a first aperture (6) for a cable, an actuator member (24), and clamping members (22). Movement of the clamping members relative to the actuator member in an axial direction of a cable extending through the apparatus causes sliding movement of the clamping members relative to the actuator member between a first condition, in which the cable can move in the axial direction relative to the clamping members, and a one second condition, in which the cable is clamped between the clamping members. A plurality of the clamping members overlap in the axial direction.

A cable leadthrough device for leading a cable through an opening in a wall, having a housing that can be fastened in the area of the opening, wherein the cable can be led through the housing along a leadthrough channel parallel to a leadthrough axis, and also having a strain relief device—with at least one clamping element for clamping a cable led through the leadthrough channel, wherein the clamping element is mounted so as to be movable on the housing, by a guide device, along a guide axis inclined in relation to the leadthrough axis, between a clamping position, in which it radially narrows the leadthrough channel, and a release position, in which it releases the leadthrough channel, and a force application system being provided for generating a driving force with a force component that acts along the guide axis and pushes the clamping element towards its clamping position.

A coupling (1) comprising: a first part (2) sized and shaped to fit through an orifice in a surface and having a mounting surface (5) for abutting against the surface, and comprising a body having a through bore (7); and a first connector part (13) having a termination (15) for at least one conductor, and a connection member (16) for each termination (15); and a second part (3) in threaded engagement with the first part (2), the second part comprising a body having a through bore (10) in communication with the through bore (7) of the first part (2); a second connector part (14) having a connection member (17) complementary to each connection member (16) of the first connector part (13) so that the connection members (16, 17) of the first (13) and second (14) connector parts can engage each other and a termination (19) for a conductor for each connection member (16) of the second connector part (3).

A holding device and a method for mounting such a holding device on a cable having a braid situated externally at least in certain regions. The holding device includes a base element (4) with a base (9) for fastening the base element (4) to a housing, and a bracing element (5) for operative connection to the base element (4), and also a crimp element (6) with an outer crimp sleeve (10), and, arranged therein, an inner supporting sleeve (11). In a state in which the cable (2) is mounted in the holding device (1), the braid (3) is arranged between the crimp sleeve (10) and the supporting sleeve (11), and the shield braid (4) is crimped between the crimp sleeve (10) and the supporting sleeve (11).

Provided are load bearing universal adaptors for connecting electrical cables in a watertight configuration. The mechanical advantage associated with wedges in a tapered cavity ensures that load is appropriately transferred to the walls of the wedge housing. In this manner, a load applied to the electrical cable is at least partially provided to the walls of the system rather than acting to pull the cable out of the adaptor, and the object to which the adaptor is connected, such as a terminal block.

A device for the sealed closing of an opening for one or more elongate parts to pass through includes a sealing and/or clamping element with at least two interacting first and second parts that are axially displaceable relative to one another, and a pressure contour acting axially onto the sealing and/or clamping element. A first axial displacement of the pressure contour and an axial displacement of the at least one second part relative to the at least one first part causes a first change in geometry of the at least one first part transversely to the displacement direction. Also, a further axial displacement of the pressure contour causes a further change in geometry of the at least one first part transversely to the displacement direction such that the opening is sealed around the one or more elongate parts passing therethrough.

A cable gland assembly includes a gland nut defining a longitudinal axis. The gland nut includes an interior wall defining a gland nut opening and the interior wall includes a stop. A bushing is disposed within the gland nut opening proximate the stop. The bushing defines a bushing opening configured to receive a cable therein. A sleeve is moveably disposed within the gland nut opening adjacent the bushing. The cable gland assembly also includes a body defining a body opening configured to receive at least a portion of the cable therein. The body is configured to couple to the gland nut, and upon tightening of the gland nut to the body, the gland nut moves along the longitudinal axis compressing the bushing between the gland nut and the sleeve and around the cable. When the sleeve engages with the stop, further compression of the bushing is restricted.

A cable gland and methods for earthing, grounding, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland comprises a gland body, a plurality of extensions, an elastomer seal, a compression member configured to rotate the plurality of extensions towards to the elastomer seal, and an earthing insert mounted in the gland body configured to electrically connect a cable to a neutral and/or grounded conductor. The cable gland is configured to provide an air-tight seal between the exterior of the cable and the elastomer seal through rotation of the plurality of extension upon the elastomer seal. The cable gland may include an o-ring and nut to secure the cable gland to a planar body. The earthing insert comprises a grounding spring in electrical communication with a metallic portion of the cable and a neutral and/or grounded conductor.

An electro mechanical or electrical connector for use in an electric vehicle including a plug body, a sealing ring, a locking member, and a cable is provided. The plug body has an inner wall and at least one locking recess on the inner wall. The sealing ring and the locking member are respectively disposed on the inner wall. The locking member has at least one elastic locking hook. The cable passes through the plug body, the sealing ring, and the locking member. The locking member is locked in the locking recess by the elastic locking hook to be attached to the inner wall, and forces the sealing ring to seal a space between the inner wall and the cable.

A cable gland is provided which has an elongate body having an entrance end and a fitting end with a passage extending therebetween. A locating member having a flange which operatively abuts the entrance end of the body is provided. A clamping assembly is securable to the entrance end of the body through a coupler, and includes a tubular member having a clamping end and a free end with a bore extending between them. The clamping end provides a clamping surface complementary to the flange of the locating member such that cable armour can be secured between the clamping surface and the flange, both of which extend in a radial direction, generally normal to the axes of the passage and the bore.
