Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5518) is a straight male strain relief grip designed for secure cable management in industrial environments. Engineered by Woodhead, this 1/2" NPT threaded grip provides exceptional strain relief and liquid-tight sealing for cables with diameters between 1.57mm and 3.18mm (0.062" to 0.125"). The nylon body offers high impact and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for continuous use in harsh conditions such as manufacturing plants, automation systems, and outdoor installations. Key features include a durable rubber grommet that delivers a liquid-tight seal, reducing moisture and dust ingress while minimizing cord pull-out. The grommet is formulated to withstand a wide temperature range and resist common industrial chemicals, ensuring long-term reliability. When installed without an O-ring and locknut, the grip achieves a Type 3R Max-Loc rating. For enhanced environmental protection, pairing it with an O-ring and locknut upgrades the rating to Type 6P, providing superior sealing against water and dust. The MAX-LOC® grip is color-coded for easy identification and is compatible with standard enclosures, cabinets, and push-button stations. Its straightforward installation process and robust construction make it a preferred choice for engineers and maintenance technicians seeking dependable cable entry solutions. The product is manufactured in the US and distributed by Gross Automation. UL File No.: E76954, CSA File No.: LR32159.
