Edge protection for cables

Effective and long-lasting protection against cable abrasion and defects.

The innovative and compact edge protection nuts prevent abrasion of the cable sheath on the threaded side of the cable gland, offering lasting protection of the cable insulation. Available in metric sizes, the edge protection nut is ideal for applications with an increased risk of abrasion, whether cable diameter is large or small, and for confined spaces. It can cushion the high dead weight of cables with large cross-sections. AGRO edge protection nuts prevent the formation of pressure points and the resulting damage to the cable sheath.

Using high-quality materials, we meet the requirements of EN 45545-2 Hazard Level 3 and UL94 V0. Our edge protection nuts are designed for temperatures from -50°C to +105°C. They also cover a wide range of sizes, from M16 to M63, both one-part and two-part.

The two-part design enables the nut to be placed around a previously installed cable, increasing protection without the need for disconnecting and reconnecting the cable.

Progress® brass hydraulic hose adapter.

Enables hydraulic hoses to be properly secured and sealed.

Discover the ideal cable gland solution for the reliable connection of hose pipes. Hydraulic hoses are often used for cable routing in order to achieve optimum protection against environmental influences. Our connection solution, available with an inner diameter (DN/ID) of 25 mm or 16 mm, enables your hydraulic hoses to be precisely secured and perfectly sealed. The fitting meets the requirements of EN 45545-2 HL3 and NFPA 130, and offers a protection rating of IP 68 and IP 69 to both cable and hose pipe, making it reliable for use even in adverse conditions.

The connection fitting is suitable for a temperature range of -50°C to +105°C, meeting the needs of almost any
environment. It is available with connection threads from M20 to M32, and the use of Progress® multiLAYER technology enables it to cover a wide range of cable diameters.

Pressure balance element steel A4 with membrane

Preventing pressure differences and water condensation due to temperature fluctuations.

Whether traffic control and signalling technology, distributor housings, rail vehicles or solar energy systems: they must all be able to withstand wind and weather, heat and rain. The same applies to their electronics and electrics. Air pressure, temperature and humidity are constantly changing. Many electrotechnical housings are watertight and dust-tight (IP 68) but not gas-tight. This allows the entry of air moisture, which begins to condense when the air temperature falls below the dew point. The water that is now present can result in corrosion and defects/malfunctions. This can be prevented by installing pressure balance elements.

• High impact resistance in accordance with EN IEC 62262 in the highest class, IK10
• Exceptionally wide temperature range, from -40°C to +150°C
• The high-performance membrane facilitates rapid air exchange
• Very high degree of protection: IP 66 / IP 68 (0.5 bar / 1h) / IP 69 / IP 6K9K
• A4 stainless steel (EN 1.4404 / AISI 316L) with stands harsh environmental conditions and corrosive environments such as seawater

Safe, efficient and durable connections

For over 70 years, AGRO has stood for the highest level of expertise in the development and manufacture of cable glands in accordance with EN 62444. This expertise also characterises the wide range of MCE multiple feed-throughs, which ensure safe feed-through and strain relief for electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic lines.

Our solutions are used wherever machines and systems need to be reliably connected: from classic control panels and complex industrial systems to extreme applications such as rail transport. Even under the most demanding conditions – water, dust, vibrations or high temperatures – our products offer reliable protection up to IP68 and IP69K.

Whether multiple feed-throughs with metal or plastic frames, separable cable glands or flexible membrane plates – AGRO delivers the right solution. On request, we also develop customised variants that are precisely tailored to your application.

MCE Syntec®

The new product line comprises a wide range of different components that greatly simplify the feeding through of cables with or without pre-assembled connectors.

• Extensive range of dimensionally standardised series
• Multi-range grommets and their compatibility within different frame series reduce inventory
• Extensive range of accessories such as blanking covers, snap-in frames, sealing plugs, grommets with threaded inserts or integrated pressure compensation elements, etc.

Technical advantages:

• Double membranes support system tightness
• UL94V-0 plastics promote fire retardancy
• IK10 impact tests improve robustness under extreme operating conditions
• Simple and time-saving installation

Progress® cable glands with split sealing inserts for patch and Ethernet cables.

For feedthroughs of cables with pre-assembled connectors.

Cable glands with split sealing inserts facilitate feedthroughs of pre-assembled cables. Thanks to their easy installation and high ingress protection rating (IP54 and IP68), they provide reliable protection against dust and water in demanding environments. The product range includes sizes from M20 to M40 and thus covers a wide and diverse variety of applications.

Preservation of the cable supplier‘s guarantee
The use of this cable gland enables the warranties of suppliers of cables with pre-assembled connectors to be maintained.

Anti-twist protection
The longitudinal surface profiling in the lower part ensures a high degree of anti-twist protection for the sealing insert.

Pre-assembled cables with connectors
The sealing inserts facilitate the problem-free feedthrough of cables with pre-assembled connectors, for diameters of 15 to 28 mm. There is no need to remove and reattach the connectors, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.

Easy installation
The installation of our cable glands is particularly user-friendly and saves time and effort since connectors do not need to be reattached.

Wide range of applications
These cable glands are suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, industrial automation, renewable energy and more.

• Easy and time-saving installation
• High ingress protection rating (IP54 and IP68)
• Available in plastic and brass
• Connection threads M20 – M40
• Cable diameters from 3 to 8 mm
• Feedthroughs for cables with connectors of diameter 15 to 28 mm
