Introduction: The Vital Role of Cable Glands in Industrial Applications

In electrical and industrial systems, the reliability of a cable termination is as crucial as the cable itself. Cable gland are essential components that secure cables entering electrical panels, equipment, or enclosures — ensuring strain relief, sealing, and electrical continuity.

For exporters and project buyers, choosing the right brass cable gland can mean the difference between long-term performance and costly downtime. At Volt Metal Industries, we focus exclusively on brass cable glands, combining material strength, precision machining, and export-ready packaging to deliver high-quality solutions for global electrical and instrumentation applications.

As a leading Brass Cable Gland Manufacturer and Exporter, we ensure every piece we produce meets international expectations for performance and finish.

Understanding the Different Types of Brass Cable Glands

Volt Metal Industries offers a complete range of brass cable glands suitable for both armoured and unarmoured cables, designed to perform in indoor, outdoor, and industrial conditions. Each type serves a distinct purpose depending on the cable construction and application.

1. Single Compression Cable Gland – Ideal for indoor and outdoor use with armoured cables, this type provides a secure seal on the outer sheath of the cable. It offers basic strain relief and protection against dust and moisture.
2. Double Compression Cable Gland – Used for armoured cables in harsh environments, double compression glands provide two sealing points, one on the outer sheath and another on the inner sheath or armour.
3. Weatherproof Brass Cable Gland (VBW Type) – Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, these glands are weatherproof and protect the cable entry from dust, moisture, and environmental contaminants.
4. Flameproof Brass Cable Gland (VBF Type) – Engineered for hazardous locations, these glands ensure that no flame or gas passes through the gland body, making them ideal for flameproof enclosures.
5. A1/A2 Brass Cable Gland – For unarmoured cables, this gland uses a displacement seal design to secure the outer sheath. It’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
6. BW Brass Cable Gland – For armoured or braided cables, BW glands secure the armour and ensure electrical continuity between the armour and gland entry, commonly used in dry or indoor installations.
7. CW Brass Cable Gland – Provides both armour clamping and sealing on the outer sheath — ensuring mechanical strength and weather protection. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
8. PG Brass Cable Gland – Used for unarmoured cables, PG glands are easy to install and commonly used in control panels, junction boxes, and instrumentation enclosures.

Each of these glands is machined from premium brass, nickel-plated for corrosion resistance, and customisable for export applications — reinforcing Volt Metal Industries’ position as a trusted Brass Cable Gland Manufacturer and Exporter.

Cable Gland Installation: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Proper installation ensures maximum performance and longevity of cable glands.
2. Prepare the Equipment & Entry
3. De-energise the system before starting.
4. Check that the entry hole matches the gland thread size (BSC or metric).
5. Prepare the Cable
6. Cut and strip the cable carefully.
7. For armoured cables, trim and spread the armour evenly.
8. Fit the Gland Components
9. Slide gland parts (check nut, seal, washer, cone, compression nut) in sequence.
10. Seat armour correctly between the cone and clamp for proper termination.
11. Tighten & Secure
12. Insert and tighten the gland into the entry thread.
13. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the cable sheath.
14. Inspect & Protect
15. Ensure the gland holds the cable firmly.
16. Use a PVC shroud for additional weather protection.

✅ Tip: Always match the gland to cable size and environment. Oversized or undersized glands can lead to poor sealing and long-term issues.

Why Brass Cable Glands Are Ideal for Harsh Environments

Brass remains the most preferred material for industrial and export-grade cable terminations due to:

• High Corrosion Resistance – Performs well in marine, humid, and industrial settings.
• Superior Strength – Resists vibration, torque, and tension.
• Temperature Stability – Handles high or fluctuating temperatures effectively.
• Electrical Conductivity – Maintains continuity for safe earthing in armoured cables.
• Longevity – nickel plating ensures long-lasting performance in outdoor conditions.

This makes brass the first choice for professionals and exporters demanding reliability and durability in cable terminations.
