Procurement snapshot

Only hard product-level facts retained from the cited source route are shown below. A missing buying field is handled separately, rather than estimated from the listed series.

Entry range

Evidence scope

The retained official product route documents: Hensel documents AKS 42 as a Pg cable gland. This dossier uses that cited route as the editorial scope. [S6]

The retained research coverage separates company identity from the named product evidence. It does not turn one model or series into a claim about unlisted company-wide operations. [S9]

Procurement fit

The AKS 42 cable gland is specified for a Pg 42 knockout with a cable entry sealing range of 30–38 mm and an IP65 rating in polyamide construction, making it suitable where the enclosure knockout, cable outside diameter, and ambient temperature align with those values. The ENYBOARD KV 1612 small-type distribution board, rated to IP 54 and sized at 333 x 295 x 129 mm, is documented for DIN-rail devices up to 63 A, twelve modules, and an RAL 7035 surface finish, suitable for sub-distribution near the load. Buyers should verify enclosure compatibility and confirm actual cable and ambient conditions with Hensel before order release.

Technical capabilities

For the AKS 42, published capability values include an IP65 ingress rating, polyamide body material, a service temperature of 70 °C, an ambient operating range of -25 to +70 °C, and a cable entry sealing range of 30–38 mm for a Pg 42 knockout. The ENYBOARD KV 1612 small-type distribution board is documented to DIN EN 60670-24, with an IP 54 rating, RAL 7035 colour, overall dimensions of 333 x 295 x 129 mm, twelve module units, and a service temperature of +40 °C. The stated current limit of 63 A applies to DIN-rail mounted devices. Additional ratings, materials lists, and derating curves are not publicly documented.

Markets and applications

The AKS 42 cable gland is suited to industrial and commercial enclosures requiring an IP65 entry at a Pg 42 knockout, where cables within the 30–38 mm outside diameter range are terminated in conditions between -25 and +70 °C. The ENYBOARD KV 1612 small-type distribution board addresses fixed low-voltage sub-distribution in dry or lightly exposed indoor locations, with the IP 54 rating and +40 °C service temperature constraining it away from harsher or wet environments. Neither product is documented for explosive atmospheres, marine exposure, or outdoor unprotected use, and any deviation from the cited ambient and ingress assumptions should be confirmed with Hensel before specification.

Evidence limitations

The published documentation covers a single cable gland part number, the AKS 42, and a single distribution board, the ENYBOARD KV 1612. Material certifications, fire ratings, IK impact values, torque figures, gasket compounds, and internal busbar or terminal specifications are not publicly documented. Lead time, pricing, distributor network detail, and ISO or IEC quality system registrations are not publicly documented. Any project-specific qualification, including chemical compatibility, UV exposure data, and short-circuit withstand values for the distribution board, should be requested directly from the manufacturer before procurement.

Editorial summary

Gustav Hensel GmbH & Co. KG, based in Lennestadt, Germany, is documented in two product categories relevant to electrical installation: cable glands and power distribution boxes. The cable gland line consists of the AKS 42 Pg series, while the power distribution offering centres on the ENYBOARD KV 1612 small-type distribution board manufactured to DIN EN 60670-24. Both product groups are intended for fixed installation in standard industrial and commercial electrical environments, with specifications framed for direct comparison against other DIN-compliant and Pg-threaded alternatives. The published documentation is limited to a single part number per category, so any additional variant assessment must rely on direct confirmation with the manufacturer.

Research coverage

Evidence states describe the public material reviewed for this profile; they do not rate the company or assert an undisclosed fact.

  • Hensel corporate context is retained from its imprint. AKS 42 facts and visual are limited to the cited product; HENSEL remains a corporate brand rather than a separate profile, and no wider sales, capacity or delivery claim is asserted. [S9]Company-stated

Frequently asked questions

What Cable Gland product is documented for Gustav Hensel GmbH & Co. KG?

The retained product material names AKS 42 Pg cable gland. The dossier keeps this as a product-level statement rather than using it as a claim about the company's entire catalogue. [S6]

Which published entry range should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: Pg 42 knockout with a 30–38 mm cable-entry sealing range. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S4]

Which published environment should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: IP65 polyamide product with a -25 to +70 °C ambient operating range. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S5]

Which common buying fields are not published in the retained sources?

The retained source packet does not publish Annual sales, Production capacity. Those fields are intentionally left out of the procurement snapshot rather than inferred from a related series, a product image or the company identity. [S9]

Research notes

The retained first-party packet supports a richer product-level reading surface, but it does not yet contain 600 words of distinct cited content. This noindex dossier remains in reviewing status until additional source-backed facts are retained.
