Cable Glands
Hawke is the market-leading manufacturer of cable glands, built on decades of experience. With a long history of engineering expertise, we’ve helped set the standards the industry follows.
Every design is backed by deep technical know-how and a commitment to continual innovation. We design, develop and manufacture our products at our brand new, renovated facility in Manchester, England. We then rigorously validate the performance of every product in our own testing labs, overseen by a team of dedicated engineers with decades of specialised technical understanding. We are dedicated to evolving solutions that customers trust in the most demanding environments.
From our Manchester roots to setting standards globally, Hawke’s heritage isn’t just something we celebrate - it’s what we apply every day to raise the bar for safety, quality and reliability.
Connectors
Our robust, stainless steel or brass multi-pin connectors are certified to Exe and Exd for use in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 potentially explosive atmospheres. Combining highly advanced design with easy installation and termination, Hawke connectors provide cutting edge simplicity. They have been carefully developed to suit three specific applications: instrumentation, power and control to provide custom solutions for your unique business challenges.
Control Stations
The Hazcon Control Station range has been designed as a robust and universal Control solution that meets the testing standards of ATEX/IECEx and UL. Created for use in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22, the Hawke Control range is ideal for use in petrochemical facilities, power plants, chemical sites and petroleum refineries.
Accessories
To make installation of our Cable Glands and Enclosures even easier, we have created an extensive range of thread adaptors, reducers and fittings. These enable the interconnection of dissimilar sized connections on Cable Glands and Enclosures while maintaining compliance with international standards and approvals. This ensures that the integrity of equipment and safety in hazardous environments is never compromised.

All Hawke Breathers combine market leading design with easy assembly to make improving the lifespan and reliability of your machinery as simple as possible. With a long lifespan and international approvals, a small investment in a Hawke Breather at the start of your machines life could save you a great deal of costly downtime later.
