AGRO cable glands Customised solutions − as individual as our customers

AGRO - cable glands – what about special requirements? Our standard range of cable glands is designed to provide ideal We can supply cable glands with any required thread type, in va‑ cable entry solutions for standard applications. rious materials and customise sealing inserts in terms of material In some specific situations, the cable gland must be adapted to and of number and shape of cable entries in order to meet all special requirements. It is often possible to find a suitable solu‑ tion simply by assembling the Progress® kit‘s components in an Long-term reliability is the top priority....

Two clamping technologies − for all requirements. Progress® in brass, steel or synthetic material Syntec® in brass or synthetic material The outstanding compression technology of AGRO Progress® cable glands ensures an effective sealing and excel‑ lent cable-protecting strain relief, also for dynamic loads. Sealing inserts for special applications such as railway applica‑ tions according to EN 45545 or for drinking water, food indus‑ try or cleanroom applications are available as standard. Syntec® cable glands with their innovative lamellar technology are particularly suitable for flexible, reliable...

Progress®: Modular cable gland assembly kit in nickel-plated brass The modular design of our Progress®-range is one of its great strengths. The components are designed with the others in mind, and can be freely combined with each other. Customer-specific requirements can be flexibly, practically and quickly met. We will combine the most suitable upper and lower parts with the right sealing insert for you, and thus deliver the most effective, most efficient solution for your needs. Standard upper part Antikink spring Clamping jaws Trumpet shaped Clamping jaws and trumpetshaped Conduit gland Standard...

Customisation Where requirements are very specific, we custom-design each individual component of our Progress® cable glands accordingly: both metal parts and sealing inserts can be tailored to optimally meet your needs, reducing assembly time and enhancing reliability. Upper parts can be customised with respect to both shape and thread. In close cooperation with the customer, a component is developed which best meets individual requirements and optimises user benefit. Customised sealing inserts Sealing inserts can be customised with respect to shape and number of cable entries, and to material....

AGRO tailored solutions in use Application examples We really get in our stride when developing solutions to specific like these are the highlight of our workday and enable us to help challenges, together with our customers. optimise our customers’ work processes. A cable entry for an industrial production facility (see picture), an economical and weather-resistant connection between two units or especially watertight cable entries for a submarine – challenges

Application in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world‘s longest railway tunnel The situation: Safety arrangements in the Gotthard tunnel are extensive and pro‑ vide for permanent monitoring of trains as they pass through. At relatively short intervals, so-called axle counters check the com‑ pleteness of the train. The equipment is exposed to rough tunnel conditions, including stone impacts. The requirement: The power cables should be protected from stone ballast by an impact-resistant conduit. The connection between cable gland and conduit should be as simple as possible. The AGRO solution: The...

Pressure compensation element for avalanche and wildlife-crossing systems The situation (1): In mountainous areas, roads, ski slopes and residential areas are protected from avalanches by exploding up large quantities of snow in areas where they cannot cause any damage. Explosion devices are often permanently installed and exposed to the weather conditions. Changing temperatures cause condensation water, which can corrode monitoring and control electronics leading to malfunctions. The situation (2): A wildlife-crossing warning system monitors the movements of wild animals and warns motorists...

Dynamic application in the new Stadler Giruno low-floor high-speed multiple unit train The situation: Cables in the area of the wheel brakes could be damaged by stone impacts and are thus protected by special conduits. The cables lead into an enclosure that houses the entire control system. The requirement: Two cables, protected by conduits, required to be inserted, fully sealed, into an existing internal thread in the enclosure. Condensa‑ tion forming inside the conduit had to be prevented from entering the enclosure. The available space was limited. The AGRO solution: A special brass part,...

Carriage transitions in Norwegian in FLIRT trains The situation: Power and data cables must be fed from the pantograph on the train’s roof into its technical room. The cables are to be EMC protected. The sealing of the cable entries must be absolutely ensured. The requirements: The EMC grip of the power cables required to be carried out by means of a metal protection conduit. The penetration of condensation water into the technical room must be prevented. The AGRO solution: The real stroke of genius of this special solution is its individual‑ ised combination conduit gland, whose thread can be...

1 Conduit gland to secure the metal cable-protec‑ tion conduit. Six power cables are run within the protecti‑ ve conduit. The metal conduit functions as an external EMC shield through its connection with the metal enclosure 2 Combination conduit gland with Progress® multi-sealing insert for sealed cable entry into the transformer room (protection from external moisture) 3 Conduit gland to receive the metal conduit (ex‑ tension of EMC protection) 4 Combination conduit gland (identical to #2) for cable entry into the transformer room (protec‑ tion from internal moisture) 5 Locknut to secure the...
