  • Patent number: 10468847
    Abstract: A handheld hydraulically actuatable crimping device includes a hydraulic piston that can be displaced in a cylinder against the force of a spring. The piston is connected to a crimping part by a piston rod in order to carry out a crimping operation. The piston includes first and second partial pistons with first and second partial application faces which can be acted upon with hydraulic medium that has the same hydraulic pressure. Both partial pistons are respectively connected to a first and a second crimping part. The second crimping part can at a greater traveling distance only be acted upon with the second partial piston. The second crimping part can be acted upon with both partial pistons over a first partial traveling distance that is defined by the displacement of the first partial piston from its initial position up to the point, at which it reaches a stop. The first crimping part is axially covered in its entirety by the second crimping part.

  • Publication number: 20190030698
    Abstract: A device and method for operating a motor-actuated working device is provided. A certain working operation requires a rise in an applied force to a certain working force. The device enables a rise in the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force and an apparatus is provided for monitoring the device value. For the certain working operation, an evaluation is performed to detect the characteristic change and that the attainment of the characteristic change is used as a signal for ending the certain working operation after the certain working force has been attained but before the general working force has been attained.

  • Publication number: 20180236649
    Abstract: A method for operating a hydraulically operated hand-held device is provided. The hand-held device includes a hydraulic pump, a moving part, a fixed part and a return valve with an associated valve seat. The moving part can be displaced into a working position by a build-up of hydraulic pressure produced by filling a hydraulic chamber with hydraulic medium from a storage chamber using the hydraulic pump. The moving part can be automatically moved back from the working position into an end position by opening the return valve, if a predetermined working pressure is reached. The hydraulic pressure acting upon the return valve for triggering a movement of the moving part into the end position is increased independently of reaching the predefined working pressure.

  • Publication number: 20180229392
    Abstract: Punch jaws are provided and are configured to punch holes and/or recesses in parts made of sheet metal. The punch jaws include first and second jaws pivotally connected to each other around a pivoting axis to pivot in a pivoting plane. A work region is formed by a punch ram on the first pivoting jaw and a punch opening on the second pivoting jaw. The punch ram carries a punch sleeve having a punch edge on its circumference. The punch sleeve moves in a side view, in which the pivoting axis is punctiform, along a circular line, a center point of which is formed by the pivoting axis, during its pivoting motion. The punch sleeve is introduced into the punch opening in a side view initially penetrates the punch opening with a front region the punch edge referred to the pivoting direction. The front region is in this side view formed on the side of the pivoting axis of the circular line with respect to a pivoting circle, along which the punch sleeve moves.

  • Patent number: 9808852
    Abstract: A hand expansion device is capable of expanding pipe ends. The device includes an expanding head, which can be actuated by an electric motor and/or by a hydraulic medium and which has a plurality of segments. The segments can be actuated by an expanding mandrel that can be moved in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the expanding head. The segments are expanded in a direction which is transverse to the movement direction of the expanding mandrel as the result of a first triggering of an expansion process. A second activation of the hand expansion device is only allowed if it is determined that the hand expansion device was rotated around the longitudinal axis a predetermined angle.
