A wide range of brass reducers and adaptors for use when cabling-up electrical apparatus can be supplied by Remora Electrical Ltd, most certified to EEx d/e for groups one and two
General areas of application include mining, quarrying and tunnelling, as well as the oil and petrochemical markets.
These glands can be supplied with nickel plated components for protection, which reduces bi-metallic reaction between dissimilar metals.
The Amortex gland utilises a captive cone design with all parts being safely and positively retained within the two part component construction.
This eliminates the possibility of critical parts being lost or omitted during assembly, which could compromise performance, jeopardise operational safety, and even involve a full site inspection requirement, particularly for hazardous area operation.
Captive cones and cone rings are common to all the cable armour types, which considerably reduces stock level requirements.
This also ensures that glands can be used with four variations of cable armouring including steel wire (type W), wire braiding (type X), aluminium (type Y) and tape (type Z), producing both economy and versatility.
