Knipex 975304 Self-Adjusting Crimping Pliers With Lateral Access 180mm

Product Overview:

Automatically crimp end sleeves of between 0.08 mm² and 16.0 mm² correctly

Crimping errors are almost impossible –the right profile size automatically

For reasons of design, it was a challenge to cover the wide capacity range of 0.08 to 10.0 mm² + 16.0 mm² using just one pair of crimping pliers. The result is technically sophisticated and easy to use.

Product Features:

• Self-adjusting crimping pliers with large capacity range
• For crimping end sleeves (ferrules) in accordance with DIN 46228 Parts 1 + 4
• Also suitable for all twin end sleeves (ferrules) up to 2 x 6 mm² or 2 x AWG 8
• Feeding from the side
• Adjust automatically to the desired size of end sleeve
• Consistent crimping pressure due to integral lock (with release mechanism)
• Crimping pressure calibrated in the factory
• Manufactured from high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel, oil-hardened
• Weight 405 g
• With multi-component grips

Knipex has applied for a patent for the design and operating principle of these crimping pliers.

Crimping of end sleeves (ferrules): self-adjusting and of course accurate

Accurate work is called for when crimping end sleeves (ferrules). Adjustment to the desired size of the end sleeves is automatic with the Knipex 97 53 04 crimping pliers. The user does not need to measure manual force when crimping because, thanks to the integral lock with release mechanism, the right amount of pressure automatically reaches the end sleeve. The pliers are optimally set (calibrated) in the factory.

Product Benefits:

• The crimping pressure has been accurately set (calibrated) in the factory.
• Square compression for ideal contact surfaces in the terminal connection.
• Changing the crimping capacity from 10 mm² to 16 mm² is achieved by simply switching over.
• In particular suitable for all twin end sleeves (ferrules) up to 2 x 6 mm² or 2 x AWG 8.

Hand-friendly working, even with large conductor cross-sections up to 16 mm²

The transmission ratio of these crimping pliers has been well-designed and is therefore hand-friendly; it provides a comfortable grip width. A toggle lever effectively supports manual force. This enables conductors with large cross-sections to be assembled well even in the case of extensive installations – also with twin end sleeves (ferrules) up to 2 x 6 mm² or 2 x AWG 10. The conductors are reliably connected to the end sleeves using a square profile – in all designated sizes.
