Overview

The ABB WMG-PC13 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Grip is a precision-engineered cable strain relief solution designed for use with 1-inch cord fittings, specifically engineered to accommodate cable diameters ranging from 1.065 to 1.205 inches. This wire mesh grip is optimized for integration with ABB’s ASG and MSG series cable glands, providing a secure and reliable interface for electrical connections in industrial environments. The grip’s wire mesh, constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensures long-term durability while the aluminum retaining ring delivers robust mechanical performance. The WMG-PC13 is engineered to prevent severe cord bends and pullouts, safeguarding cable integrity in high-stress applications. It is suitable for non-armored and portable cable types, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose, machine building, maintenance, and repair applications. The product’s design prioritizes hand-tightened installation with high mechanical pull-out resistance, ensuring consistent performance without specialized tools. Compatible with both aluminum and steel cable glands, the WMG-PC13 is a critical component for maintaining cable strain relief in demanding OEM and MRO environments. Its stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to environmental factors, including moisture and chemical exposure, while adhering to industry standards for electrical safety and performance.

How to Assemble a WMG-PC13 Wire Mesh Grip Cord Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling a WMG-PC13 wire mesh grip cord connector, ensuring proper strain relief and secure cable connection for your application.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

Cord or Cable, WMG-PC13 Wire Mesh Grip components

  1. Prepare the Connector Body

    If a replacement gland nut is supplied with your WMG-PC13, remove both the original retaining ring and the gland nut from the connector body. Otherwise, only remove the original retaining ring from the connector.

  2. Prepare the Cord

    Cut the end of your cord or cable squarely to ensure a clean and proper insertion into the connector.

  3. Slide Gland Nut and Mesh onto Cord

    First, slide the compression gland nut onto the cord. Then, compress the wire mesh grip and carefully slide it onto the cord. If installing on a cord of maximum diameter, use flat nose pliers to slightly preform the wire mesh loops as shown in Figure 3 of the documentation to ease installation.

  4. Slide Bushing onto Cord

    Next, slide the bushing onto the cord, positioning it behind the wire mesh grip.

  5. Mount Connector Body (if applicable)

    For threaded hub applications, secure the connector body to the enclosure at this stage. If using for knockout applications, you can complete the full assembly before mounting the connector to the enclosure.

  6. Insert Cord into Body

    Insert the prepared cord, with the gland nut, mesh, and bushing, through the connector body until the desired working length of the conductors is achieved. Note: You may need to strip back the cord jacket slightly to pass it through the body.

  7. Position Bushing and Mesh

    Slide the bushing fully into the connector body. Then, slide the wire mesh along the cord until it lays flat and snugly against the bushing.

  8. Tighten Gland Nut

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