Working Principle

The 1426170-6 operates on the principle of introducing a crimp into a material with enough force to deformation. It is a pressure actuated device that uses the physical property of pressure to ensure that the crimp in the material is performed in a uniform manner without any defects or blemishes. It is composed of a head member, a pressure source, a movable clamp and a die assembly. The die assembly is where the crimp is formed. The head member is attached to a moving pressure source, such as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. This pressure source contains a plunger that exerts a predetermined force to create the crimp. The movable clamp is attached to the head member and holds the material in place during the crimping process.

The 1426170-6 is set up at the start of the crimping process by properly calibrating the pressure and crimping dies. Once the calibration is complete, the movable clamp is closed to hold the material in place and then the pressure source is activated. This action results in the plunger exerting the specified force on the die assembly and forming the crimp in the material. Once the predetermined deformation is achieved, the pressure is released and the clamp is opened to allow removal of the crimped material.

The 1426170-6 is an efficient and easy to use tool for making uniform and secure crimps in various electrical components and other pieces of materials. It is ideal for applications in automotive wiring, electrical wiring and aerospace wiring. It can also be used with a variety of wire sizes and shapes ensuring that a secure crimp is formed in the material.
