Cembre RHC131
Cembre RHC131 is a hydraulic presshead crimping tool complete with quick automatic coupler for connection to a hydraulic pump with a working pressure of 700 bar max.
RHC131 presshead will accept die sets common to Cembre 130kN hydraulic crimping tools.
The RHC131 hydraulic crimping head is suitable for installing the same range of cable lugs, crimp connectors and terminals as Cembre HT131-C.
The presshead weighs 3.8kg and is supplied in a robust plastic case which is suitable for storage of the crimper head tool and 14 sets of crimping dies – used to joint and terminate lugs or connectors on LV MV HV cables including 11kV/33kV medium/high voltage electrical systems.
