Manual hand press , hydraulic hand press or hydraulic head? The choice of crimping tools is very big, and the choice is in most cases connected with the intensity of works and the cross-section of the wires. For less intensive works it is recommended to use manual hand presses, for works of average intensity – hydraulic presses and for highly intensive works – hydraulic heads. They are compatible with electric hydraulic units produced by ERKO for example pump H 800 or aggregates: AH 100 , AH 500 and AH 550. Find out more about hydraulic crimping tools in the assortment of ERKO.
Hydraulic head GZ 300
GZ 300 is designed for crimping tubular terminals and connectors on wires with the cross-section up to 300 mm2. This tool is quite light, it weighs 2,6 kg, without dies. Crimping force is 79,2 kN. It is compatible with such dies as: ZA for ring terminals without insulation, ZE for ring terminals with insulation , ZT for cable end-sleeves, ZF for round forming of Al sector conductors , ZS for tubular terminals and connectors.
Hydraulic head GU 120
![gu120_1](/wp-content/uploads/EN-uploads/2014/12/gu120_1-300x288.jpg)
Hydraulic head GU 120 is designed for crimping of different types of cable terminals and connectors on wires with the cross-section to 120 mm2. The force is 80 kN. Crimping process is performer with the help of an appropriate die:
- UA for ring terminals without insulation,
- UE for cable terminals and connectors with insulation,
- UT for cable end-sleeves with and without insulation,
- UF for round forming of Al. sector conductors,
- USM for tubular terminals and connectors Al. and Cu .
Hydraulic head GO 300
GO 300 thanks to the exchangeable crimping dies can be used to crimp cable terminals and connectors on wires with the cross-section up to 300 mm2. It is also used for punching holes in steel band. The force is 98 kN. It works with dies: OA, OE, OT, OF, OS, OR and OK.
Hydraulic head GU 300
GU 300 is designed for tubular Al and Cu terminals with the cross-section to 300 mm2, for round forming of Al sector conductors to 120 mm2 and for punching holes in steel band. It works with following dies: USD, UDF, UR and UK. The force is 112 kN.
Hydraulic head GU 625
GU 625 has a very narrow usage, because it crimps only tubular Al. terminals on wires with the cross-section from 300 to 625 mm2. The force is huge and it is 190 kN.
