  • Publication number: 20230335963
    Abstract: A dual action hydraulic piston assembly including a cylinder having first and second inlet ports on a first end and an outlet port on a second end, a conduit connected to the first inlet port and extending into the cylinder, an inner ram slidable along an outer surface of the conduit, and an outer ram slidable between the inner ram and the cylinder. The inner and outer rams are configured to move together toward the second end of the cylinder in response to a fluid being displaced via the first inlet port into the conduit, which displaces a second fluid through the outlet port at a first flow rate. The outer ram is configured to move toward the second end of the cylinder in response to a fluid being displaced via the second inlet port, which displaces the second fluid through the outlet port at a second flow rate.

  • Publication number: 20190372289
    Abstract: A connector installation tool includes an elongated body, a handle, a battery, and a c-shaped tool head. The elongated body includes a first end, a second end, and an axis extending therebetween. The handle includes a switch and is positioned proximate the first end. The switch is moveable between a first position and a second position. The battery is supported on the body and is configured to provide power to an actuator when the switch is in the first position. The C-shaped tool head is positioned proximate the second end. The c-shaped tool head includes a stop surface and a ram, and the ram is extendable toward the stop surface.
