The next generation of Cembre
cordless hydraulic tools represents
a significantly advantageous evolu-
tion from current models.
The B 550E, with adapter AU55-
50, will accept all Cembre 50 kN
dies; with adapter AU55-W it
will accept "W" dies.
New Li-Ion 18 V 4 Ah batter-
ies offer a higher capacity than
14.4 V 3 Ah, while greater
crimping speed and crimping
force result from a revitalised hy-
draulic system with double speed
action: a rapid approach of the
dies to the connector then a slower,
more powerful speed for crimping.
A maximum pressure sensor and
pressure relief valve assure greater
precision and repeatability of the
pressure cycle and double the pro-
vision for operator safety.
The OLED display provides essential
real time tool operating information
data including:
- Crimping pressure and force be-
ing generated, for confirmation
of adherence to norms and best
practice
- Battery power availability
- Tool identification, LED work light
state, reset, no. of operational
and service crimping cycles
- Tool service required to maintain
optimum condition.
Designed with improved balance,
B550E is easily manageable during
the crimping process and, by the
use of bi-component plastics, has
a shell with high resistance to wear
and damage.
Rubber grip inserts, low noise
and minimal vibration aid operator
comfort while additional conveni-
ence and safety are provided by
LED lighting of the working area.
Crimping cycle data (up to 200,000
events) is automatically stored on a
memory card for transfer to PC by
USB interface.
Operating temperature:
-15 to +50 ° C
With adapter AU55-50 for accepting Cembre dies.
