The Hydraulic Crimping Tool (16-300mm²) is a versatile tool designed for crimping large electrical cables, lugs, and connectors, commonly used in electrical installations, renewable energy systems, and industrial applications. Below are the key features, specifications, and typical uses:
Key Features & Specifications:
Crimping Range:
16mm² to 300mm² (or similar, depending on model).
Suitable for copper/aluminum cable lugs, battery terminals, and heavy-duty electrical connections.
Hydraulic System:
High-pressure hydraulic pump (manual, electric, or battery-operated).
Generates sufficient force (e.g., 12-30 tons) for secure crimps.
Die Sets:
Interchangeable dies for different cable sizes (e.g., 16-25mm², 35-50mm², 70-120mm², 150-240mm², 300mm²).
Often color-coded for easy identification.
Operation Type:
Manual hydraulic pump (hand-operated, portable).
Electric/Battery-powered (for faster, high-volume crimping).
Safety & Ergonomics:
Pressure relief valve to prevent over-crimping.
Lightweight design (for manual models) or stable base (for bench-mounted versions).
Compatibility:
Works with copper, aluminum, and battery cable lugs.
Meets industry standards (e.g., DIN, IEC).
Typical Applications:
Electrical panels & switchgear installations.
Solar/Wind energy systems (crimping PV cables, battery connectors).
Industrial machinery and heavy equipment wiring.
Telecom & railway power distribution.
How to Use a Hydraulic Crimping Tool?
Select the correct die for the cable/lug size.
Insert the lug into the die and place the cable inside.
Pump the handle (or trigger the electric motor) until full crimping pressure is reached.
Release pressure, remove the crimped lug, and inspect for a secure connection.
