Mode d'emploi

Crimping Wire Rope Sleeves

Follow these steps for effective crimping:

  1. Select Sleeve and Cable: Choose the appropriate wire rope and crimping sleeve (ferrule) for your application. Ensure the sleeve material is compatible with the tool (e.g., aluminum, copper).
  2. Cut Cable to Length: If necessary, use the integrated cable cutter to cut the wire rope to the desired length. Refer to the 'Cable Cutting' section below.
  3. Insert Cable into Sleeve: Thread the wire rope through the sleeve, forming a loop if required. Adjust the length to achieve the desired loop size.
  4. Select Crimping Cavity: Identify the correct crimping cavity on the tool that matches the size of your sleeve. The tool features 5 cavities for sleeves of 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16".
  5. Position Sleeve: Place the sleeve fully into the selected crimping cavity. Ensure the sleeve is centered and flush within the cavity.
  6. Ondulation: Firmly close the handles of the tool with steady, even pressure until the crimp is complete. The tool's long handles are designed to minimize effort.
  7. Inspecter le sertissage : After crimping, visually inspect the sleeve to ensure it is securely formed and the cable is firmly held. A properly crimped sleeve should be uniform and tight.
