Crimping tools

Description:

• Hydraulic and mechanical hand pliers for squeezing
• Interchangeable press inserts
• Precise pressing guaranteed - 100% connection of cable and contact

Summery:

All crimping tools are available in mechanical, hydraulic hand or foot pump technology or in pneumatic design.

A) Contact cross section with the cable cross section:

Make sure that the contact cross section corresponds to the cable cross section.

• If the cable cross section is too large, the cable would have to be tapered. !Not recommended!
• If the cable cross section is too small, the contact cross section must be reduced by using reducing sleeves. The best thing to do is to assemble the cable and contact with the same cross-section.

 

B) Stripping length:

The stripping length of the cable should have the exact length as the contact hole depth.

C) Crimping variants:

Depending on the tool, the following crimpings are allowed:

1. Cross or four-jaw crimping::
   The upper crimping wedge should be set on the same level as the center of the contact width side.
2. Hexagonal crimping:
   The crimping at (1) and (2) should take place from the contact end (cable entry) to prevent the cable from being partially pushed out if it is inserted carelessly.

D) Execution:

For all crimpings, care must be taken to ensure that the longitudinal axis of the contact is not bent and that the contact sleeve does not show any outwardly protruding change in the original circumference. Otherwise, the flexibility of the contact will no longer be ensured by bumping against the inner wall of the plug; this could impair the smooth start of operation.

E) Recommended tools:

• for C) - 1) Cross crimping: e.g. Anderson VC-7
• for C) - 2) Hexagonal crimping: e.g. Rema/Claws
