Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5550M) is a precision-engineered cable management solution designed for industrial environments where cable protection and secure sealing are critical. This strain relief grip features a 1" NPT straight male thread for direct installation into enclosures, panels, or machinery, accommodating cable diameters ranging from 14.27mm to 17.45mm (.562" to .687"). Constructed with a durable stainless steel mesh collar, it provides exceptional pull-out resistance and environmental protection, making it ideal for applications exposed to moisture, dust, or mechanical stress. Key specifications include a half double and half single weave mesh design for optimal flexibility and strength, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings. The grip is UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 certified, with hazardous location ratings for Class I, Division 2; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2, meeting NEMA 4 enclosure requirements when paired with the correct gasket. The nylon body and zinc-plated steel components resist corrosion and impact, while the rubber grommet delivers a liquid-tight seal rated to NEMA 6P standards. Applications include industrial machinery, automation systems, electrical enclosures, and pushbutton cabinets where cable strain and abrasion must be minimized. The MAX-LOC® design simplifies installation with a compression nut system, eliminating the need for specialized tools. For environments requiring non-conductive solutions, a non-metallic mesh variant (SKU: 5550NM) is also available. Trust Woodhead’s MAX-LOC® technology to extend cable lifespan and reduce downtime in your operations.
