BCrimping and swaging produce airtight and watertight seals around components like hydraulic hoses. Crimping requires using a powerful crimping machine to apply pressure in all directions to a hose coupling for creating a tight seal, whereas swaging involves rapid and constant closures to shape an angular coupling down to a smaller, sealed circular shape.
Hydraulic crimpers are used for industrial applications like electrical wiring, plumbing and automotive assembly. They are also used to make a permanent coupling attaching a hydraulic hose to a hose fitting. These crimpers are suitable for wide-scale production lines where manual labour costs are high.
Crimp types fall into two groups: compression crimps and stab crimps. The cup and tab type crimper is an example of a stab crimp and features a U shaped crimp point on one jaw and a short, extended projection on the other.
