2 - PRESENTATION 2. 1 - GENERAL : You have just acquired a GATES type MC2000 hand operated hydraulic hose and coupling crimping machine. To this effect, it is important that you follow the operating instructions. This MC2000 is specially designed to crimp GATES flexible hose assemblies which are commonly used in industry and agriculture. -
Page 5: Operating Principle
MC2000 USER GUIDE 2. 3 - OPERATING PRINCIPLE: This machine comprises 3 assemblies : the manual hydraulic pump, the crimping head with manual stop and the electrical system. 2. 3. 1 - PUMP : This provides the hydraulic power required to move the dies during the crimping process. -
Page 6: Crimping Head
MC2000 USER GUIDE 2. 3. 2 - CRIMPING HEAD: This is the most technical part of the crimper. With the aid of its dies, it allows the coupling to be crimped onto the flexible hose. It comprises the following elements (see figure 2):... -
Page 7: Electrical System
MC2000 USER GUIDE Operating Principle The kinematic crimping principle consists of transforming a rectilinear displacement, i.e. that of the piston (8), into a radial displacement thus ensuring the crimping process by way of the dies (7). Mechanical bonding is achieved through the friction on a slope and a face on the barrel clamp (3) and a slope (cone) on the piston (8) and the die holders (4). -

MC2000 USER GUIDE 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. 1 - SAFETY: Safety glasses must be worn during machine operation. The crimper must be positioned on a stable bench or frame. Do not put your hand in the crimping head during its operation. - Page 9 MC2000 USER GUIDE Figure 4 : Identification diagram...

A 7 unit variation on the gauge digital readout allows the crimping diameter to vary by 0.1 mm The gauge values are only provided as a guide to assist in manufacture, only the exact crimping diameter can guarantee the flexible hose. It is imperative that the diameters obtained are within the tolerances specified by GATES. -
Page 11: Calibration
MC2000 USER GUIDE 3. 4 - CALIBRATION: Each machine is factory-calibrated and is ready to operate on delivery. However, the crimper must be tested each month and whenever the crimped diameter does not match the specified diameter. The calibration procedure is as follows: Calibrate using –08 Megacrimp calibration shell 8G (7482-19860-5) -

Page 13: Servicing And Maintenance
For an effective lubrication, it is very important to apply a 60% concentrated grease with molybdenum bisulfide (this product is provided with the machine and is available from GATES – 7482-19957). Lubricate after every 100 crimping operations as indicated below :... -
