Safe and compliant with standards: for making electrical connections.
With the rapid increase in electrical drives and the necessary control electronics, the need for fast and secure connections is increasing. Plug types such as Scotchlok connectors, Western plugs, modular plugs, Cannon plugs and many more are suitable for crimping - i.e. the joining process in which the connection is made via plastic deformation using a compression tool.
The complexity of possible crimp connections is continuously increasing. In addition to flexible and solid wires, fibre optic cables, antenna cables, telephone and LAN cables and many other types of cables can now also be processed with crimping tools.
KNIPEX offers you a multitude of solutions with which cables and plugs can be connected safely and in accordance with standards.
From the inexpensive wire end ferrule pliers as a light and compact hand tool to the compact and universal Multi-Crimp® crimping system pliers to the semi-automatic, electrically driven eCrimp system pliers with over 1,500 interchangeable, different crimping dies - with KNIPEX you have all options at your fingertips.
And innovative support too. For example, universally adjustable positioning aids or electronic displays for wear and the necessary calibration for crimping pliers for very sensitive crimp connections.
Crimping pliers in different designs
Due to the large number of different plug connections, crimping pliers in many different designs are required. As a rule, these pliers are operated with one hand - but there are also models for particularly large conductor cross-sections that facilitate two-hand operation thanks to their inexpensive design.
A battery-operated version is also available.
Versatility is also demonstrated by models that are not only suitable for crimping but also for stripping and separating cables.
Ferrule pliers
A ferrule crimping plier exerts pressure from all sides on end sleeve and wire. In this way, when choosing the right crimping profile or using automatic crimping pliers, plastic deformation results in a mechanically strong and electrically secure connection.
Self-adjusting crimping pliers
Crimping pliers, which are able to automatically adjust to the cross-section of the sleeves to be processed, have been developed especially for the professional sector . The use of the right press jaws is guaranteed at all times - which makes crimping faster and more convenient.
Four-arbor press pliers
Particularly sophisticated connectors can be found in areas such as the automotive industry, aviation or medicine. Turned contacts are required here.
Four-mandrel crimping pliers are able to produce these high-quality crimp connections.
Four synchronously running jaws evenly press a mandrel profile into the connector.
