Flexible Cable Glands
Flexible cable glands, also known as pigtail cable glands, bendable cable glands, or spiral cable glands, are specialised strain relief fittings designed to provide secure cable entry whilst accommodating movement and bending requirements. These innovative cable routing fittings feature a flexible spiral section that guides cables around obstacles without causing damage from sharp bends or repetitive movement. Manufactured from high-quality nylon material with IP68 protection rating, these flexible conduit glands are essential for applications where cables need to bend, flex, or move whilst maintaining complete environmental sealing against dust, moisture, and contamination.
Throughout UK industrial sectors, flexible cable glands are widely utilised in automation equipment, lighting installations, appliances, and mobile machinery where traditional rigid cable glands would cause cable fatigue or breakage. Their primary advantage lies in the integrated strain relief and bend protection, which significantly extends cable lifespan in high-vibration environments, moving equipment, and installations requiring frequent maintenance access. The flexible pigtail design prevents cable kinking whilst maintaining secure panel mounting through threaded connections with locknuts and sealing washers for professional electrical installations.
