Some strain reliefs provide a liquid-tight seal on the power cord entry into equipment. This would prevent moisture from getting inside your equipment.

Strain reliefs provide extra protection to power cords that come into contact with sharp edges on the chassis and/or overbending.

Strain reliefs also reinforce the cord connection to your equipment. 

Many times strain reliefs hold the cord in a fixed position which prevents stress from twisting or pulling and reduces the need for cord replacements.

Strain reliefs are also known as cable glands and Marshall Wolf Automation has a complete offering for you to choose from.

What are strain reliefs?

What are cable glands?

What are cord grips?

To start, strain reliefs are also known as cable glands which are also known as cord grips. Did that clear things up?

Basically all of these produts provide extra protection to the power cord, sometimes liquid tight, by protecting the cord from coming into contact with sharp edges and overbending. They reinforce the cord connection to your equipment and extend cord life.

To figure out which strain relief (cable gland, cord grip) you need start with the material. Generally the popular ones are nylon and nickel plated brass.

Next you'll need to figure out the style of cable gland (strain relief, cord grip) you need in your application. Dome style are the most common and are used to protect the wire entering the equipment. Flex style offer flexible bend protection to the cord entering the equipment.

You'll also need the thread type and size as well as any body style options you may want (right angle, mini, multi-cable entry).

The bottom line is we can help you find the best strain relief/cable gland/cord grip for your application.
