Cordless Hydraulic Crimping Tool | Cembre BA500

Cordless Hydraulic Crimping Tool

The Cembre BA500 Cordless Hydraulic Crimping Tool, part of the Cembre Battery Crimping Tools range, is purposed for installing electrical Crimps, Cable Lugs & Connectors on conductors up to 300sqmm, offering a rated crimping force of 63kN, using the standard die series compatible with other 50kN tools and heads. Cembre‘s BA500 Hydraulic Crimping Tool features adaptive control, which allows for the tool to automatically adjust the crimping force according to the connector cross-section. Ultimately, the BA500 doesn’t use any more crimping force than what’s required.

BA500 | The Ideal Tool For Those Who Demand Maximum Precision

Some of the Cembre BA500 Cordless Hydraulic Crimping Tool‘s key features include, a 180° rotating head and pistol-grip design make it ideal for tight or awkward confined spaces, smart crimp detection for automatic die stopping movement when resistance is detected, as well as a double-click activation system for added safety, which prevents accidental starts and shuts off automatically after three minutes of inactivity of the Cordless Hydraulic Crimping Tool to conserve energy.

A built-in OLED display shows real-time data including crimping force, battery status, and maintenance alerts. The BA500 also includes an automatic battery coupling system and supports SMARTOOL technology for data logging and download.
