Large ferrule crimping tool

[WaterSparky]

What crimpers are people using for crimping ferrules over 10-16-25-35mm2? As ones i have currently don't do that big.

Cheers

No you wasn't, how many of us have used this when there wasn't any crimpers handy

I've got ratchet CK crimps for 1.5 > 6 & 6 > 25mm, then hydraulics after that.

Knipex do a pair of crimping pliers from .75 to 16mm

Bigger than that a hydrolic set can be had for £50 that does upto at least 95mm

I know I have watched a guy do it cause crimpers were on a desk 50 mile away

Ive crimped 70mm tails with similar crimpers to these and never again.

Hydrolic every time for me


Talking proper ferrules or you mean lugs?

Ive used these before

A work mate uses one very similar to these on everything from 16mm to 300mm

These are not what the OP is thinking of I suspect, and not what I look on as ferrules.
I use these:

For up to 6mm I use a PZ6 Roto:
9014350000 PZ 6 Roto | Weidmüller Product Catalogue [P] [EN]

For 6 to 16 I use a PZ16:
9012600000 PZ 16 | Weidmüller Product Catalogue [P] [EN]

For 25, 35 & 50 I use a PZ50:
9006450000 PZ 50 | Weidmüller Product Catalogue [P] [EN]

I just got a new pair funnily enough, Klauke K28, £131.58 + VAT, they do trapezoid crimp like you get on the tri rated cables in consumer units. I also have the Klauke K02 for the other type of crimp.

Both of them are totally amazing crimpers.

Didnt think you got ferrules that big.

Thought after say 16mm ish it was usually lugs not ferrules

Nope ferrules up to 50mm at least, I have not used bigger, but, that is not to say that they don't exist.

 

[uksparks]

The K28 does up to 50mm

I use these... Not bad

Klauke K02 - K 02 Crimping tool for tubular cable lugs and connectors for solid conductors 0.75 - 16 mm² - Mechanical crimping tools - Mechanical crimping and cutting tools - Crimping and cutting tools - Products - Electrical

Looks like the K28 only does 2x4, 2x6 or 1x10 up though.
The Weidmuller crimpers you use the next size up for a 2x crimp, so 2x4=6, 2x6=10, 2x10=16, 2x16=25, 2x25=35, 2x35=50.
Not a solution just something to look out for.
Personally I HATE double crimps!

 

[uksparks]

The K28 does the following

10mm
16mm
25mm
35mm
50mm

2 x 4mm
2 x 6mm
2 x 10mm
2 x 16mm

And by the way I was on about ferrules, just been and replaced some 16mm2 trit-rated tails in a panel after a fault today and got the you should have some of these in your toolbag talk etc! Wondered what everyone else had! Thanks!!
