Auxiliary material

Auxiliary material in industrial automation and electrical distribution encompasses a wide range of supporting components essential for the proper installation, connection, and protection of primary equipment. This category includes items such as cable glands, terminal blocks, marking systems, cable ties, conduits, and mounting accessories. These components are designed to ensure mechanical stability, electrical continuity, and environmental sealing, often featuring IP ratings from IP54 to IP68 for harsh industrial environments. They are available in various materials like polyamide, brass, stainless steel, and nickel-plated brass, with thread types including metric (M), PG, and NPT. Temperature ranges typically span from -40°C to +100°C, with some variants rated up to +200°C. The auxiliary material category also includes ferrites for EMC suppression, insulating materials, and cable entry systems that comply with international standards such as IEC, UL, and CSA.

These products are deployed across multiple sectors including manufacturing, energy, transportation, and building automation. In industrial control panels, auxiliary materials are used for cable management and termination, ensuring organized wiring and reducing downtime during maintenance. In renewable energy installations like solar farms and wind turbines, they provide robust sealing against moisture and dust. The oil and gas industry relies on explosion-proof cable glands and conduits for hazardous area classifications (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22). In data centers and telecommunications, cable management systems ensure airflow and signal integrity. Additionally, auxiliary materials are critical in railway signaling, marine electrical systems, and process automation where vibration resistance and corrosion protection are paramount.

Key subcategories within auxiliary material include cable glands (e.g., metric brass glands with EMC shielding, nylon glands for lightweight applications), terminal blocks (feed-through, fuse, and disconnect types), cable ties (nylon 6.6 with UV resistance, stainless steel for high-temperature), and marking systems (heat-shrinkable sleeves, label holders). Article codes often follow a structured pattern: for cable glands, a typical code might be "CG-M20-BR-EMC" where CG denotes cable gland, M20 is the thread size, BR indicates brass material, and EMC specifies electromagnetic compatibility. For terminal blocks, codes like "TB-FT-4MM" indicate feed-through type with 4mm² cross-section. Other relevant articles include conduit fittings (e.g., "CF-PG16-PA" for polyamide PG16), cable entry plates, and mounting rails (DIN rail EN 50022). These components are available in standardized packaging from single units to bulk reels.
