Crimping tool 240mm

A crimping tool for 240 mm² cable is a professional-grade tool designed for attaching heavy-duty lugs and terminals to large-diameter electrical conductors. It is primarily used in high-voltage or high-current electrical installations where secure, low-resistance connections are essential. These tools are vital in power transmission, industrial wiring, and energy infrastructure projects.

Technical Overview:

• Crimping Capacity:
  Supports cable sizes from 16 mm² up to 240 mm², making it versatile for a wide range of cable sizes.

• Tool Type:

  • Typically hydraulic, either manual hydraulic, battery-operated, or electrically powered for ease of use.

  • Some models come with an integrated hydraulic pump, while others require a separate power source.

• Crimping Force:

  • Manual hydraulic tools deliver a force of up to 12–16 tons, sufficient for compressing large copper or aluminum terminals.

  • Battery and electric versions may offer quicker operation with consistent results.

• Crimping Dies:

  • Interchangeable hexagonal dies or indent-style dies are used depending on the terminal type.

  • Dies are usually marked with sizes (e.g., 16, 25, 35…240 mm²) for easy selection.

  • Die locking system ensures proper alignment and pressure during crimping.

• Construction Materials:

  • Made from high-strength alloy steel or hardened carbon steel for long-lasting performance.

  •  include anodized or powder-coated finishes for corrosion resistance.

• Design Features:

  • Ergonomic non-slip handles or pistol grips for safe and comfortable operation.

  • Rotating head allows crimping in tight spaces.

  • Built-in pressure release valve to prevent over-crimping.

  • Safety lock or trigger system to avoid accidental operation.

Typical Applications:

• Electrical Substations & Switchgear Installations
  Crimping large lugs for power cables connecting to transformers or busbars.

• Renewable Energy Systems
  High-capacity solar or battery connections requiring large cross-section conductors.

• Industrial Power Distribution
  Used in motor control centers, main distribution boards, and large-scale wiring.

• Construction and Utility Work
  Essential in infrastructure projects, including underground cable joints and overhead line terminations.
