Crimping procedures (cont.)
Nominal crimp diameter
Measuring crimp diameters
should be a part of the
normal hose assembly
procedure. To ensure a
proper crimp diameter,
follow these steps:
1. Measure the diameter
in the middle of the
crimped portion of the
hose end. Place the
caliper in a position to
allow for a measurement
across the pressed (flat)
portion of the crimp.
2. Repeat step 1 for each
of the remaining sides
for a total of four
measurements.

3. Average the four
measurements and
compare this average to
the target crimp diameter
shown in the Power
Source crimp spec tool
and ensure it falls within
tolerance.

Lubrication:
Every 30 crimps =
Re-lubricate sliding
surfaces of dies
Every 250 crimps =
Remove old grease
and re-lubricate
1. Sliding surfaces must be
kept free of dirt and other
abrasive materials.
2. All exposed black metal
surfaces should be coated
occasionally with a light
film of oil to prevent cor-
rosion.

Maintenance:
Every 250 crimps =
Remove old grease and
re-lubricate
Every 1,000 crimps =
Remove old grease,
inspect for wear or dam-
age and relubricate if okay.
3. Some fitting/hose com-
binations require full pump
reservoir capacity to com-
plete the crimp cycle.
The oil level in the fluid
reservoir of the hydraulic
pump should be checked
periodically and refilled as
required with the pump
manufacturer's hydraulic
oil as needed.
NOTE: Completely retract
the cylinder when check-
ing the oil level.
