Integrated insulator seal and shield assemblies

An integrated insulator sealing and shielding assembly includes a rubber housing having a plurality of radial weathersheds and a tapered end adjacent an endmost radial weathershed. The tapered end has an outer surface with a ring extending outward from the outer surface. The ring is compressible. A metal end fitting is disposed adjacent to the endmost radial weathershed and receives the tapered end. The tapered end is received in a counterbore in the metal end fitting. The counterbore has a sealing surface so that interference of the ring with the sealing surface creates a compressive sealing force to form a seal.

Method for producing an explosion-proof line bushing, and explosion-proof line bushing

An explosion-proof line bushing and method for producing the line bushing. A prespecified amount of elastomeric material is applied to a line and completely surrounds the line in a flat section in the circumferential direction. The line is inserted into a passage opening of a bushing body. The bushing body is preferably plastically deformed. After the plastic deformation, the elastomeric material substantially fills the volume remaining between the formed bushing body and line. The elastomeric material is elastically deformed and presses both against the line and the formed bushing body so that flame-proof gaps are formed between the bushing body and the line. The applied mass of the elastomeric material is determined depending on the inner volume between the formed bushing body and the line remaining.
