Diaphragm seal

Illustrated explanation

Three sealing elements with different assembly actions

Three sealing elements with different assembly actionsCallout 1: Diaphragm. Callout 2: Stepped cone. Callout 3: Displaced seal. An intact diaphragm, a removable stepped section and a displaced seal do not use the same installation action. The opening and final compression must match the selected cable.

  1. Diaphragm sealThis term

    A thin membrane closes the entry until prepared as instructed. The permitted cable opening method depends on the design.

  2. Stepped cone

    Stepped sections support defined opening sizes. Identify the correct step and sealing duty before removing material.

  3. Displacement seal

    Assembly moves seal material toward its mating surface. Cable range and installed deformation depend on the specified geometry.

An intact diaphragm, a removable stepped section and a displaced seal do not use the same installation action. The opening and final compression must match the selected cable.

Conceptual construction examples. These names cover multiple designs; cutting, piercing, removal and compression instructions remain model-specific.
