Why Choose the Cembre 2600045 RHU81-D Hydraulic Crimping Head?
The Cembre 2600045 RHU81-D is a professional hydraulic crimping head designed for installing compression electrical connectors on conductors up to 240 mm². Featuring a compact U-shaped head and a nominal crimping force of 79 kN, it is particularly suited to electrical panel work, cable termination and applications where access is restricted.
The RHU81-D uses interchangeable dies to accommodate a wide range of electrical connectors and supports hexagonal, oval and indent crimping geometries. Its U-shaped head incorporates a removable pin arrangement that simplifies die installation and positioning while providing convenient access when preparing professional electrical connections.
Designed for operation with a compatible hydraulic pump at a maximum pressure of 700 bar, the RHU81-D incorporates a male quick coupling with automatic locking for straightforward hydraulic connection. Its compact 235 × 91 × 56 mm construction makes it a practical solution for professional electrical installation, panel building and industrial maintenance work.

Reliable Hydraulic Crimping for Electrical Connections
Hydraulic crimping heads use pressure from a separate hydraulic pump to generate the high mechanical force required to compress electrical connectors around conductors. The RHU81-D delivers up to 79 kN of nominal crimping force and accommodates interchangeable dies, allowing one head to perform multiple connector installation applications.
The Cembre RHU81-D is designed for professional work where compact dimensions and versatile crimping capability are important. Its 4–240 mm² crimping range, multiple supported crimp geometries and U-shaped head make it particularly useful for electrical panels, industrial installations and confined spaces where a larger crimping system may be difficult to position.
Typical Applications
- Crimping electrical cable lugs and compression connectors.
- Electrical panel and switchgear connections.
- Industrial power cable termination.
- Electrical installation and cable preparation.
- Utility and infrastructure maintenance.
- Professional workshop and field-based crimping operations.
