TMC3 Armored Gland from Eaton is Easy to Install and Mitigates Electrocution Risk
March 20, 2023
Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series TMC3 cable glands are designed to quickly and easily terminate metal-clad (MC) cable, TECK corrugated cable, and non-armored tray cables.
Packed with innovative features, the TMC3 is ideal for terminating cable at junction boxes, control centers, panelboards, and enclosures for motor control and electrical distribution equipment.
TMC3 Features
Fast and easy installation – two-piece construction with increased size of wrenching surfaces on body and nut
Forms a mechanical watertight connection; superior corrosion resistance
Standard gasket and locknut ease installation and improve ingress protection (IP66 and NEMA 4X)
Reliable performance in extreme temperature range: -60°C to +109°C
Multiple thread size options per sealing range eliminates the need for adapters or reducers
Class I, Division 2 locations where no arcing or sparking risks (in accordance with NEC501.10B)
Certification markings oriented for easy inspection when installed in the bottom of enclosures

Festo designed the new space-saving, flat, DLGF rodless linear drive as a very economical choice for applications where installation space is especially tight, like in electronics, small parts assembly, packaging and handling technology. Since those space considerations can also make a pneumatic drive harder to adjust or service, Festo also made its proprietary self-adjusting end-cushioning (PPS) standard with DLGF. Self-adjusting cushioning saves time and makes processes more reliable; the drive is always providing the correct cushioning.
