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 adaptive seal for a cable gland including a body including a compression portion defining a distal surface and an insertion portion defining a proximal surface, the compression portion having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the insertion portion, a plurality of insertion apertures in the proximal surface, a plurality of tubes extending from the distal surface, each having a closed end and each at least partially tapering in diameter from the distal end of the body to the closed end, and a plurality of channels, each defined between one of the insertion apertures of the body and one of the closed ends of a respective one of the tubes, wherein the body and the plurality of tubes are integrally formed a single piece of elastic material.

A feedthrough assembly including a sealing member including a body part having a sealing member aperture, at least one elongated member extending through the sealing member aperture, and a feedthrough member including a body part having a feedthrough aperture extending through the body part, the feedthrough member being adapted to be attached to a wall having a through hole such that the feedthrough aperture and the through hole together provide a passage through the wall. The feedthrough member is adapted to receive the sealing member in the feedthrough aperture to an operative position in which the feedthrough member is rotatable relative to the sealing member, and a gap between an outer surface of the sealing member and a surface of the feedthrough aperture is less than or equal to 250 micrometres.

The present invention relates to a sealing cable connector device for high-pressure applications including a first connector part (1) and a second connector part (5) including an axial channel for allowing a cable (6) to extend, the first connector part having a cylindrical channel with a radially oriented inner surface (1a) and the second connector part being adapted to be introduced into said channel and having a corresponding shape in the radial direction, said second connector part having a radially oriented front end surface (4a), the first and second connector parts including locking means being adapted to applying an axial force and lock the parts together after connecting. At least one spring bevel ring (2) is positioned at the inner surface in said cavity having radial dimensions corresponding to radial dimensions of the cavity between the cable and outer walls of the cavity.

The invention relates to an assembly (14) of a cable-connecting device (10) and a multi-core cable (11), which form a mechanical, explosion-proof connection to each other. For this purpose, the cable-connecting device (10) has a plastically deformable outer sleeve (18) having a crimping section (23). A hollow cylindrical inner sleeve (19) made of elastically deformable material is arranged between a cable sheath (13) made of elastomer and the crimping section (23). An elastic deformation of the inner sleeve (19) and of the cable sheath (13) is caused by radially plastically deforming the crimping section (23). Any gaps (40) present within the cable sheath (13) are closed due to the radial forces in the crimping section (23) such that spark-gap-free contact between the cable sheath (13) and the cores (12) of the cable (11) and between the cable sheath (13) and the inner sleeve (19) is ensured.

An electric device includes a housing and a cable. The housing has a pipe bracket disposed on the housing. The pipe bracket includes an interior pathway extending from a free-end of the pipe bracket into the housing. The free-end of the pipe bracket has teeth thereon. The cable has a union nut and a sleeve. The sleeve has a crimped section attached to the cable such that the crimped section is non-displaceable. The sleeve further has a toothed annular surface. In an installed state of the cable to the housing, a feedthrough portion of the cable extends through the interior pathway of the pipe bracket and into the housing. The union nut encompasses the sleeve and is attached to the pipe bracket to thereby press the toothed annular surface of the sleeve against the teeth of the pipe bracket such that the cable is fixed rotationally to the housing.
