The Railway and metro engineering marks high end innovations to provide smart solutions for global transportation. This has made big differences to the Railway engineering and metro technology. As many ideas are now brought into reality, there comes the main concern of security of assets and electronic systems at large to protect them from climatic reactions, explosion, short circuit and many more uncertainties. With this, cable protection system has become a core investment outlay for all the manufacturers and OEM’s in Railway industry. This article is a perfect piece to go through for recent updates on cable protection in Railway engineering. It drives you through the variety and features available in cable glands, cable cleats, connectors and cable accessories used in Railways and Metro technology.
Innovation has wracked the developments in the cable gland market to an upward slope of growth with major focus on a prime security solution in Railway industry. The UK railway applications are now showing a high emphasis on fire safety by slowing the speed of noxious gases and fire in case of short circuit and other hazardous electrical emergency in railways. From June 2013, a new fire safety standard EN 45545 become a mandatory testing domain across UK to maintain and provide increased quality products to Railway sector. Since then, the inputs used in railway applications have been tested for their resistance in hazardous situations.
In current times, the Railway engineering spheres out high concern for the security and safety of the systems integrated into electronic equipment in order to get high durability, easy maintenance and avoid quick damage and explosion to the engineering system installed in Railway vehicle and machineries. The electrical device and equipment used in tunnel, station, tracks, locomotives, carriages, engine and other railway operations need secure cabling to avoid destruction of assets, accidents and also for safe and comfortable transportation.
For this, to have a secured cabling system has become a cardinal core area of assignments in Railway engineering. Cable glands play a chief role in security of heavy machinery installed, cable protection and safety of electrical Railway assets. This kind of cable protection needs strong and durable cable connectors that are apt and well-grounded when exposed to uncertain weather, stone impact, dust, extreme temperature, vibration and corrosion.
BICC Components LTD has extensive years of experience in manufacturing and distribution of industrial cable glands, cable cleats, cable connectors and other cable accessories that has now set standards to the next level in Railway engineering. It has a array of varieties in cable gland with customization as per the requirement in the Railway industry along with a unique manufacturing mechanism in the production process to maintain international quality standards in cable gland fabrication.
In addition to maintaining the quality standards in material used in manufacturing, the range of cable gland and cable accessories for Railway applications are offered with high end customization be it polyamide, stainless steel or brass material meeting the EN 45545 fire safety standards along with the providing resistance to vibration and temperature. The assortment of cable gland offered by BICC group offers high level of ingress protection rating of IP68 and IP69 along with rigorous fire safety testing to match the NF F 16-101 and UL 514B certification standards.
The cable glands rich in feature with strain relief values, multiple modularity and high tensile strength that are also high in demand for new discoveries in Railway development. The range of offering includes Splitable cable gland system, BW cable glands, aluminium cable gland, LSF A2 cable gland, copper terminals, LSOH two bolt cable cleat and many other varieties that add value to provide everything at one roof for cable protection solution apt in Railway engineering.
The research and development unit has brought a complete customization to material meld used in manufacturing, size of the cable gland, diameter, wall thickness, smoke-gas index, anchorage and locknut that have their application in mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic installation in Railway engineering. cable glands and copper terminals are also being used in rail drills, impact wrenches, fast clip machines, rail web electrical connectors, to get a profiled wire joint and many more. With this, cable connectors provide a complete choice of special and multiple sealing inserts used in cable gland installation. Quality in the production process is also one of the prime considerations in checklist of developments for BICC. This includes improvements in component assemblies, wire tray, Cable Trunking, fastenings and other manufacturing mechanism. The spectrum of developments in cable glands is possible due to its customization not only in product offering or fabrication process, but also in providing manual and PC based printing system and installation of cable gland system that accounts for a one stop solution to OEM’s, railway engineering and equipment manufacturers.
