PRATLEY LAUNCHES TAPER-TECH BRASS COMPRESSION CABLE GLAND

PRATLEY has launched a new Taper-Tech® brass com- pression cable gland for circular unarmoured cable. This latest technology eliminates the need for cable-damaging, weak-back bushes. Each gland size can accommodate an unmatched range of cable sizes and withstand a whopping 150 m of water head pressure – an industry first. The Taper-Tech® clamping system features a differen- tial taper design. Using specially-formulated, high-per- formance, compression-set resistant rubber, the gripping force of the bush increases proportionally with the axial load on the cable. This means that the cable remains safely secured, even at very high pull-out loads, without damage to the cable. Another major advantage of the Taper-Tech® is its indus- try beating IP68 ingress protection rating, which provides for 150 m of water head. “We believe there is no other cable gland on the world market that performs to this level,” says Pratley Marketing Director Eldon Kruger. Taper-Tech® compression cable glands are manufactured from nickel-plated brass. They can accommodate all circu- lar cables with outside diameters from 3 mm to 73.8 mm, in addition to an array of non-circular cables when fitted with appropriate bushes. The glands are supplied complete with nipple gaskets and nickel-plated brass locknuts. The IP68 rating means Pratley Taper-Tech® brass com- pression cable glands seal the bore automatically against ingress of pressurised water and ambient moisture. In addi- tion, gland sizes 00, 0, 1 and 2 are available ex-stock with Pg T he EVO family of cable tie tensioning tools are ergonomically designed to perfectly combine convenience with function, especially the EVO9. At the heart of the EVO9 is innovative, patent-pending Tension-Lock-Cut (TLC) technology. This unique technology enables maximum precision when tensioning nylon cable ties with minimum recoil when the excess tail is cut off. Due to the distinctive TLC technology, the EVO9 reduces the manual force required to tension cable ties and gen- erates significantly less recoil, or ‘kickback’ when they are cut. Installers can fasten countless numbers of cable ties more comfortably and significantly reduce the risk of a hand strain injury. The EVO9 takes the strain out of repetitive manual cable ty- ing operations by being lighter, safer and more precise than any other tensioning tools. With a band width of 13.5 mm, the EVO9 evolved from the EVO7, which was designed for cable ties with a width of up

and Npt threads. Pg and Imperial threads can also be accommodated by means of Pratley adjustable cable glands fitted with com- pression conversion kits and thread adaptors. Exceptionally thick gland plates can be accommodated by fitting adjust- able glands with long nipples. With over 65 years of experience and a plethora of patents under its belt, Pratley prides itself on the local production of highly-innovative cable glands, junction boxes, and related accessories. Those variants for use in hazardous locations comply with international IECex Standards for Ex n, Ex e and Ex d explosion protected equipment. Many Pratley cable glands and boxes also comply with the European ATEX directive. Pratley manufactures over 1500 products, has filed more than 350 patents worldwide, and is an ISO 9001:2015 ac- credited company.

ergonomics and high impact resistance make cable tie application easier. The EVO9 delivers precise cable tie tensioning between 53 N and 307 N. In addition to 33 different tension settings for manual calibration to individual user specifications. It also includes a quick adjustment feature that allows the installer to easily jump between higher or lower tension ranges on jobs that require a variety of different cable tie tensions. Each EVO cable tie tensioning tool is individually calibrated at our factory, ensuring consistently accurate performance from each and every tool. HellermannTyton offers a wide range of cable tie tensioning tools for both our nylon and stainless steel cable ties. Our cable tie range includes UV and Weather resistant, high temperature, mental content and releasable cable ties to mention a few.

to 4.8 mm. The TLC technology, low weight and a more ergonomic form than its predecessor, the MK series, are aspects that have already proven themselves in the market. This combination makes the EVO series more comfortable, pow- erful with low maintenance. From the extremely hard-wearing stainless steel blade to the lightweight, but tough fibreglass- reinforced housing and anti-slip grip, the EVO9 is built for durability and precision. Improved
