Overview

The ABB WMG-PC11 stainless steel wire mesh grip provides secure strain relief for 1-inch cord fittings in industrial cable assemblies. Designed for cables with a diameter range of 0.880 to 1.065 inches, this grip ensures a precise fit within its specified grip range of 0.875 to 1.000 inches. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the WMG-PC11 delivers reliable performance in harsh environments where cable integrity is critical. Its wire mesh design compresses uniformly around the cable jacket, preventing slippage, abrasion, and pull-out under mechanical stress. This component is essential for maintaining electrical connection stability in applications such as motor controls, control panels, and machinery wiring where consistent strain relief is required. The grip is compatible with standard 1-inch cord fittings and meets the dimensional requirements for secure installation per ABB’s catalog specifications. Installation follows a simple three-step process: determine cord diameter, select the matching cable gland, and install the appropriate wire mesh grip. The product is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard fittings and enclosures.

How to Assemble a WMG-PC11 Wire Mesh Grip

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling a WMG-PC11 wire mesh grip onto a cable or cord, ensuring proper strain relief and secure connection to an enclosure.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

Cable or Cord, Enclosure (optional)

  1. Prepare the Cord Connector

    Disassemble the cord connector by removing the original retaining ring. If a replacement gland nut is supplied with the grip, also remove the original gland nut from the connector.

  2. Prepare the Cable and Components

    Cut the end of your cable or cord squarely. Slide the compression gland nut onto the cord. Compress the wire mesh grip and slide it onto the cable. For maximum diameter cords, preform the wire mesh loops using flat nose pliers. Then, slide the bushing onto the cord.

  3. Secure the Connector Body

    Secure the connector body to the enclosure if using a threaded hub application. For knockout applications, you may complete the full assembly before mounting to the enclosure.

  4. Insert Cord and Position Components

    Insert the cord through the connector body until the conductors reach the desired working length. Slide the bushing into the connector body. Then, slide the wire mesh along the cord until it lays flat against the bushing. Note: You may need to strip back the cord jacket to pass it through the body in some installations.

  5. Finalize Assembly

    Slide the compression gland nut along the wire mesh and tighten it onto the connector body. Ensure all slack is removed from the mesh by smoothing it out along the cord.
