Reliable Hydraulic Crimping for Heavy-Duty Electrical Connections
Hydraulic crimping tools such as the Partex PHCT400KIT-COL use hydraulic pressure to compress copper tube terminals around electrical conductors. The resulting hexagonal crimp provides mechanical retention and electrical contact when the correct die, conductor and terminal combination is used. The tool's two-stage hydraulic system enables rapid die advancement before applying the higher force needed to complete the compression.
The PHCT400KIT-COL is specifically configured for the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, making it suitable for professional cable termination work involving conductor sizes up to 400 mm². Its rotating crimping head, interchangeable dies and protective carrying case support efficient installation in industrial electrical systems, power distribution equipment and large cable assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power distribution cable termination.
- Low-voltage switchgear and distribution board assembly.
- Crimping Partex COL copper tube cable lugs.
- Electrical control panels and power cabinets.
- Industrial machinery and large electrical equipment installations.
- Commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure.
- Power cable installation and maintenance.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and panel building.
