Crimping is a method used to join two pieces hydraulic hose ends to hydraulic hose for industrial applications.
To determine the appropriate crimping tool, consider the type and size of the hose and ends you'll be working with, as well as the specific application requirements. Consulting the connector manufacturer's recommendations and ensuring the tool supports the necessary gauge range and crimp style will guide you to the right choice.
The crimper bundle includes 14mm, 17mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 32mm, and 40mm dies. Having a variety of die sizes allows for flexibility and the ability to handle different crimping tasks efficiently.
Hydraulic crimpers use hydraulic fluid to generate high pressure for crimping, making them suitable for larger, tougher materials and requiring less manual effort. Mechanical crimpers, on the other hand, rely on manual force or simple mechanical leverage, making them more portable and easier to use for smaller, less demanding tasks.
A hose crimper works by applying concentrated force through a set of dies to cause the metal fitting to crimp or deform around the hose, creating a tight seal. This process is typically controlled by a hydraulic system to ensure consistent and precise crimps.

The crimper has a bright optical signal that lights up as soon as the desired crimp spec is reached. This feature ensures you achieve the perfect crimp every time, adding precision and reliability to your work.
To use a crimper correctly, first select the appropriate crimping die for the terminal or connector you are using and insert the hose into the terminal. Then, position the terminal in the crimper's jaws and squeeze the hose firmly until the crimp is secure, ensuring a tight and reliable connection.
To properly crimp a hydraulic hose fitting, first select the correct crimp die for the hose and fitting size, then position the hose end into the fitting, ensuring it is fully seated. Place the assembly into the crimping machine, align it according to the manufacturer's specifications, and activate the machine to achieve a secure and uniform crimp.
Over-crimping a hydraulic hose can lead to several issues, including reduced flow due to a restricted inner diameter and potential damage to the hose's structural integrity, which may cause premature failure. Additionally, excessive crimping can create weak points that are prone to leaks or bursts under pressure.
