58500-1

Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

The 58500-1 crimp applicators and presses are specifically designed to crimp terminals onto wire and cable conductors. The crimp presses provide the ideal combination of power and control to apply, to precise specifications, the terminal onto the wire. The 58500-1 press and applicator are available in both manual and pneumatic, and provide an affordable and reliable solution for more efficient crimping.

Application Field

The 58500-1 applicators and presses are used in several different industries and applications. They are most commonly used in the automotive and electronic industries for attaching terminals to wires. Other uses include aircraft wiring, electrical insulation sealant, and fiber optic splicing. They can also be used in the manufacture of circuit boards, cables, and HVAC systems.

These crimp applicators and presses can be used to crimp both standard and specialty terminals. Standard terminals can be crimped for AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizes from 26-20 and metric sizes from 0.5-2.5mm. Specialty wires and terminals include those with micro and nano connectors, shielded and water-resistant terminals, and special configurations.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 58500-1 crimp applicator is based on the principle of applying an internal force and pressure on the terminal to be crimped onto the wire. The internal force is generated by a hydraulically-powered crimping jaw which applies pressure to the terminal. The applied force causes the terminal to deform, securely attaching itself to the wire.

Another feature of the 58500-1 is the ability to finely adjust the crimp force to fit the wire and terminal. This is done by precisely adjusting the pressure applied by the crimping jaw. This ensures that the terminal is firmly attached to the wire without being over-crimped, which could damage the terminal or cause electrical arcs and shorts.

The 58500-1 crimp applicators and presses are also designed to accurately install terminals, regardless of shape. The presses have support blocks which secure the terminal in place before the crimping process. This ensures that the terminal is properly positioned and the crimp will be properly aligned.

Conclusion

The 58500-1 crimp applicators and presses are designed to attach terminals to wires quickly and efficiently. They provide a safe and reliable solution for attaching terminals to wires in various industries and applications. With their advanced features such as precise adjustment of crimp force and support blocks for accurate positioning, the 58500-1 presses provide a dependable solution for all your crimping needs.
