Within one size sleeve housing, 8 variants can be achieved.
The Heavycon Evo B series plastic range, manufactured in fiberglass-reinforced Polyamide was first launched in 2013. The product offered many features and benefits. Being able to combine cable glands in both vertical and horizontal orientation on the same sleeve housing allowed users to reduce the number of different housings required by 70% compared to industry standard aluminum housings.
The matching cable glands for clamp sizes M20 to M40 could be freely combined with any sleeve and base element in sizes B6, B10, B16, and B24, minimising the number of variants. This reduced stock holding overheads and reduced time spent on design by using components that were quick and easy to assemble contributing to overall savings.
