Raychem Industrial Cable Gland E1RW

🔹 Description :

The E1RW cable gland from Raychem RPG is a heavy-duty, explosion-proof double compression cable gland specifically designed for armoured electrical cables used in hazardous industrial environments.

It is a mechanical cable entry and termination device that ensures secure cable anchoring, sealing, and protection when cables enter electrical equipment such as junction boxes, panels, or enclosures.

🔹 Functional Description

• The E1RW gland provides dual sealing (inner & outer) to:
  • Seal the inner bedding of the cable
  • Seal the outer sheath
• This double compression mechanism ensures:
  • High ingress protection (dust & water tightness)
  • Strong strain relief and cable retention
  • Maintained enclosure integrity

🔹 Design & Construction

• Designed for armoured cables such as:
  • Steel Wire Armoured (SWA)
  • Aluminium Wire Armoured (AWA)
  • Braided cables
• Made from robust materials like:
  • Brass / Nickel-plated brass
  • Stainless steel / Aluminium
• Includes accessories like locknuts, shrouds, and earth tags for proper installation

🔹 Performance & Protection

• Suitable for hazardous (explosive) areas:
  • Oil & gas
  • Mining
  • Chemical industries
• Certified for protection types:
  • Ex d, Ex e, Ex tb
• Provides:
  • Ingress protection up to IP66 / IP68
  • High impact resistance (~7 Joules)

🔹 Application Description

The E1RW gland is used to:

• Secure and terminate armoured cables
• Prevent entry of dust, moisture, and gases
• Ensure earthing continuity through cable armour
• Protect electrical systems in explosive atmospheres

The E1RW cable gland is a rugged, double compression, explosion-proof gland that provides reliable sealing, mechanical strength, and safety for armoured cables in critical industrial and hazardous environments.
