Cable Glands

Designed to terminate cables, Hawke glands provide a weather and gas-proof sealed connection between the cable and its associated equipment. The cost of a cable gland is insignificant when compared to that of other equipment. However, the cost of failure is high. Though some cable glands may just be “fit for purpose” what would be the potential cost of failure?

Hawke cable glands have many patented features which bring numerous benefits to owners, operators and installers alike. Features such as the reversible armour clamp (RAC) ring, deluge seal (preventing water ingress into the gland as well as equipment), diaphragm seal (which prevents cable damage to soft bedded cables), and the Hawke back seal (with extremely wide cable acceptance and exceptional pull out resistance) all help reduce installation time, inspection time and reduce overall lifetime costs.

Hawke provides specific glands for Group I (Mining), Group II (Hazardous Area) and Industrial applications.

Ex Connector Range

Hawke connectors are ideal for use where temporary but safe disconnection of power is critical. Our Ex range of connectors permit safe and rapid service, repair and replacement of key plant, provide quick connection to temporary and permanent equipment and greatly reduce hook-up time in capital-intensive processes. Hawke’s range of connectors cover three main application areas: Instrumentation, Control and Power.

InstrumEx - This revolutionary design allows the live mate and de-mating of signal and low power in hazardous areas safely and quickly.

The InstrumEx connector is available with two insert options: the 4-way option will accept cores ranging between 0.5mm² and 2.5mm² and can operate up to a maximum current of 10A (AC1) at 250V AC & 2.5A (DC1) 60V DC. The 8-way option, designed predominantly for ethernet applications, will accept cores ranging between 0.14mm² and 0.37mm² and can carry 1A (AC1) at 60V AC & 0.5A (DC1) 60V DC. InstrumEx connectors include an integral Hawke cable gland for easy termination of both armoured and un-armoured cables.

ControlEx - The 3rd generation of Control connectors include many features and refinements as a result of consumer feedback, which makes them particularly suitable for control and low/medium power applications. The robust stainless steel body can hold up to 60 contacts and will accept conductor sizes ranging between 0.5mm² and 35mm², operating up to 125A and 660V.

PowerEx - The PowerEx range of connectors have been designed specifically for the extremely demanding requirements of higher power applications. Inserts are available with 1 to 4 contacts with a conductor acceptance range of between 50mm² and 630mm² operating up to 780A and 750V as standard. Other voltages are available on special request.

Ex Enclosure Range

Hawke have been producing Exe enclosures for over 30 years and are very highly regarded for their quality and exceptional strength – something extremely important in the demanding environments of the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and other Harsh and Hazardous industries.

Glass Reinforced Polyester PL Range

These enclosures are a self colored black anti-static glass reinforced polyester design that meet the requirements of Exe ll and ExtD to IEC/EN 60079-0, IEC/EN 60079-7, IEC/EN 61241-0 and IEC/EN 61241-1.

The PL6 Series Enclosures are of a robust design with a very high impact strength of up to 20Nm and have excellent electrical insulation properties.

Stainless Steel S & Eze Range

These enclosures are a stainless steel design that meets the requirements of Exe ll and ExtD to IEC/EN 60079-0, IEC/EN 60079-7, IEC/EN 61241-0 and IEC/EN 61241-1. The material qualities and electropolished finish provide a very high corrosion resistance.
