Manual crimping presses with a large crimping area
Mechanical hand crimpers are used for crimping electrical connectors. Manual presses are operated manually and do not require an additional energy source such as electricity or compressed air. Compared to conventional crimping pliers, they offer greater pressure force, precision and control in the crimping process. The choice between a hand press and a normal crimping tool depends on the specific requirements of the application, the desired pressure level and precision.
Features of mechanical hand presses
Mechanical hand presses are operated by manually pressing the handles. They are easy to operate and require no additional tools or power sources. In addition, many mechanical hand crimpers are equipped with a ratchet mechanism. This mechanism enables a controlled and consistent crimping process as it ensures that the tool is only opened once the crimping process is complete. This ensures a consistent and reliable connection.
On some mechanical hand crimpers, the dies can be exchanged using a quick-change fastener. This allows a variety of crimp connections to be made with ferrules, cable lugs, flat receptacles and butt connectors using a single tool. What's more, they are generally robust and durable.
