Overview

The ABB WMG-PC15 stainless steel wire mesh grip is a precision-engineered cable management solution designed for secure strain relief and retention in industrial applications. Engineered for compatibility with 1-1/2 inch (1.5") cord fittings, this grip accommodates cable diameters between 1.250 and 1.375 inches, providing a tight, vibration-resistant hold without damaging cable jackets. Constructed from durable stainless steel wire mesh with an aluminum retaining ring, the WMG-PC15 delivers high mechanical pull-out performance for non-armoured and portable cable types. Designed for integration with ABB’s ASG and MSG series cable glands, the WMG-PC15 prevents severe cord bends and pullouts in general-purpose, machine-building, maintenance, and repair applications. Its hand-tightenable design simplifies installation while ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. The wire mesh construction conforms to specified cable diameters, offering consistent grip strength across the full range. For OEM and MRO applications requiring certified, long-lasting cable management, the WMG-PC15 provides a dependable solution with compatibility across aluminum and steel cable glands. Ideal for securing power cords, control cables, and instrumentation wiring in industrial machinery, control panels, and electrical enclosures, the WMG-PC15’s stainless steel construction resists corrosion and mechanical stress. The grip’s compact form factor allows for easy integration into existing systems, reducing installation time and labor costs. Refer to ABB publication TDS000081 for chemical resistance guidance and consult the applicable cable gland’s technical data for working temperature and ingress protection ratings.

How to Install a WMG-PC15 Wire Mesh Strain Relief Grip

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for assembling and installing a WMG-PC15 wire mesh grip onto a cable or cord, ensuring proper strain relief and a secure connection to an enclosure.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

Cable or Cord, WMG-PC15 Wire Mesh Grip

  1. Prepare Connector (if applicable)

    If a replacement gland nut is supplied with the WMG-PC15 grip, disassemble the existing connector and remove its original retaining ring and gland nut from the connector body.

  2. Prepare the Cord

    Cut the end of the cable or cord squarely to ensure a clean and proper fit.

  3. Install Gland Nut onto Cord

    Slide the compression gland nut, which is part of the WMG-PC15 grip, onto the prepared cord.

  4. Prepare and Install Wire Mesh

    Compress the wire mesh component of the grip and slide it onto the cable or cord. If you are installing on a cord of maximum diameter, carefully preform the wire mesh loops using flat nose pliers to ensure they are round, as shown in Figure 3 of the documentation.

  5. Install Bushing onto Cord

    Slide the bushing component of the WMG-PC15 grip onto the cord, positioning it after the wire mesh.

  6. Secure Connector Body to Enclosure (if applicable)

    For threaded hub applications, secure the main connector body of the WMG-PC15 to the enclosure. For knockout applications, you can complete the grip assembly before installing it to the enclosure.

  7. Insert Cord into Body and Position Components

    Insert the cord through the connector body until the conductors reach the desired working length. Then, slide the bushing into the connector body, and slide the wire mesh along the cord until it lays flat against the bushing. Note: In some installations, the cord jacket may need to be stripped back to allow it to pass through the body.

  8. Tighten Gland Nut

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