# Industrial Specification: Cable Gland

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical device used to securely attach and seal the end of an electrical cable to equipment, providing strain relief and environmental protection.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-100 bar pressure sealing, -40°C to 120°C temperature range, IP68 ingress protection rating**. Failure boundary: **Seal compression loss at 0.2 mm deformation, thread stripping at 25 N·m torque, cable pull-out at 500 N axial force**, Mechanism: **Elastomer compression set exceeding 15% permanent deformation, galvanic corrosion at dissimilar metal interfaces exceeding 0.5 V potential difference, polymer chain scission at 150°C continuous temperature**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Thermal cycling between -40°C and 120°C at 10 cycles/hour | 8 | Elastomer seal hardening and cracking, resulting in IP rating degradation to IP54 | Install fluorocarbon elastomer seals with 200°C continuous temperature rating and 0.5% compression set |
| Vibration at 200 Hz frequency with 5 g acceleration | 8 | Thread loosening and cable pull-out, causing electrical discontinuity and arc flash hazard | Implement double-locking mechanism with 40 N·m locking torque and anti-vibration thread design |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | mm | Verified |

### Industrial DNA Context (De-duplicated)
**Complementary Dependencies**: **Injection Molding Machine**, **Industrial Chiller**, **Hopper Dryer**  
**Downstream Applications**: Industrial Control Panels, Electrical Junction Boxes, Motor Control Centers  

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What IP rating do your cable glands provide for environmental protection?
**A**: Our cable glands offer IP68-rated protection, ensuring complete dust-tight sealing and waterproof performance for submerged applications up to specified depths and durations.

### Q: Which material is best for corrosive industrial environments?
**A**: Stainless steel (typically 316 grade) provides optimal corrosion resistance for harsh environments like chemical plants, marine applications, and food processing facilities.

### Q: How do cable glands provide strain relief for electrical cables?
**A**: The compression nut and locking ring system creates mechanical grip on the cable sheath, preventing tension from transferring to internal electrical connections and reducing wire pull-out risk.
