Battery Powered Crimping Tool

Typical applications of battery powered crimpers

Cordless crimping tools are used wherever many crimps have to be made directly at the installation point:

• switchgear and control panel building
• electrical installation and power distribution
• industrial machinery and control wiring
• maintenance, service and on-site installation work

Design and operating principle

A battery powered crimping tool consists of a crimp head with interchangeable dies, an electro-hydraulic drive and a battery pack. The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump, the piston builds up crimping force and compresses the cable lug or connector onto the conductor. Once the preset force is reached, the piston returns automatically.

Benefits of cordless crimping tools

• cordless operation with full mobility
• repeatable crimping force and consistent crimp quality
• much lower physical effort than purely mechanical pliers
• high productivity for repetitive crimping tasks

Selecting the right battery powered crimping tool

When choosing a cordless crimper, consider:

• conductor sizes and cable types (Cu/Al)
• type of connector (cable lugs, splices, ferrules, depending on the product range)
• required crimp profile and applicable standards
• battery capacity, charging time and overall tool weight

This helps you select the right battery powered crimping tool for safe and efficient crimping in installation, service and production.
