SOUTH African manufacturer Pratley continues to demonstrate its engineering leadership with its innovative adjustable cable gland, designed to significantly reduce maintenance and labour costs across a wide range of industrial applications.
“Our adjustable cable gland offers exceptional cost savings, versatility, durability and efficiency,” says Tristan Blades, technical projects manager. Its adjustability allows it to accommodate everything from paper-thin braid armouring to thick steel wire armour. The interchangeable nipple design also allows for extended-length nipples, making it ideal for applications involving thicker gland plates, which is where conventional glands typically fall short.
A key cost-saving feature is the gland’s design, which includes a built-in spigot. This allows a smaller gland to fit securely into a larger knockout hole, such as an M20 gland into an M25 knockout, minimising the need for different gland types and streamlining inventory requirements. “It is a solution that makes installations quicker and more flexible,” adds Blades.
In addition to design innovation, Pratley’s 95% stock availability policy and commitment to customer service mean that replacement parts are readily accessible. This ensures minimal operational downtime and quicker turnaround times for repairs.
“A manufacturer offering near-total stock availability on the shelf can make an enormous difference,” notes Blades.
