Overview – Work Equipments STRAP-BOND 337-0049
For Cummins engine-to-chassis bonding and grounding points on industrial installations, the Cummins STRAP-BOND 337-0049 provides the correct fit and performance expected from a genuine-spec replacement.
Parts Characteristics
A braided copper bonding strap with ring terminals at both ends, bridging the engine and chassis or battery negative. Its job is to give electrical return current a low-resistance path and to keep sensors, starters and radios from floating on a potential difference the designer never intended.
Applicable Models & Applications
Used at Cummins engine bonding points across industrial, construction and generator applications. Confirm the strap length and terminal hole size against the mounting studs on your machine – length matters, because a strap stretched tight carries vibration straight into its terminals.
Maintenance & Replacement
Treat electrical gremlins with a grounding first pass: intermittent sensor faults, slow cranking with a healthy battery, gauge needles that wander and radios that whine with engine speed are all classic bonding strap symptoms, and the strap is the cheapest thing to check.
Inspect straps at every service for frayed braid, green corrosion at the terminals, missing lock washers and paint under a terminal that was assembled over a fresh coat. Measure resistance across the strap with a multimeter – anything above a fraction of an ohm is a replacement.
When fitting a new strap, clean both mounting faces to bare metal, fit the specified washers, and torque the studs so the terminal is clamped solidly without crushing the braid. Protect the braid from being used as a step or a tie-down – most strap failures in the field are mechanical, not electrical.
Replace a stretched or heat-discoloured strap rather than re-terminating it: the braid’s cross-section is the whole design, and a strap that has already carried a fault current or been overstressed never returns to full capacity. Check both ends again after the first week of operation.
Price Reference (USD)
As a reference, the STRAP-BOND 337-0049 is typically priced between USD 10 and USD 35 depending on configuration, lot size, and current exchange rates.
