Hydraulic crimping tool is a hand-held machine, similar in appearance to pliers, so it is also called hydraulic crimping pliers. In China, Hydraulic crimping tools are used to crimp various copper/aluminum terminals, or connect (or crimp) cable lugs to the ends of wires. Hydraulic crimping tool is driven by hydraulic system, it applies pressure on the terminal or cable lug to press it against the wire to complete the connection between lug and wire. For the power industry in China, hydraulic crimping tools are necessary tools for conducting wire splicing and crimping during line infrastructure construction and line maintenance.
The main material of thick wire is metal, and it is impossible to deform it for crimping by manual force alone. In order to solve this dilemma, the hydraulic crimping tool is designed to apply deformation force to terminal or thick cable to achieve connection. The applied force ranges from 6 to 20 tons, and can even reach 55 tons.
Hydraulic crimping pliers are used together with crimping dies. The crimping dies have a variety of sizes, usually semi-circular, suitable for terminals or metal cables with different widths. The number marked on each mold is a multiple of ten, such as 240mm², 300mm², 400mm² and so on. Smaller numbers, such as 4 mm² and 16 mm², are mainly used for crimping wires or metal cables with smaller diameters. When buying hydraulic crimping tools in China, crimping dies are usually included in the packing list and stored in tool box, which has affordable price and convenient use.
In China, common hydraulic crimping tools include hand crimpers, hydraulic crimpers and electric crimpers. Hand crimpers rely on manual operation and are suitable for smaller wires. Hydraulic crimpers are driven by the built-in hydraulic system or split hydraulic pump, it can be used to crimp thick metal wires or cables. For Electric crimpers, the most popular type is battery powered crimping tools (driven by rechargeable batteries), which are very suitable for heavy-duty work that requires more power. It is light and portable, can be operated with one hand, price is relatively high.

Hydraulic Crimping Tools Operation Steps
- Before using the hydraulic crimping tool, check whether the terminal to be crimped meets the wire specifications.
- Choose suitable crimping dies. For example, if the size of the terminal to be crimped is 400mm², select the upper mold and lower mold of 400mm².
- Put the crimping dies into piston and mold holder.
- Tighten the oil inlet and oil return switch of the hydraulic crimping tool clockwise, and shake the handle repeatedly. Observe crimping dies. When the upper mold and the lower mold touch one position, the crimping is completed.
