Radial press

A radial press comprising:

• a housing (1) having a jacket portion (6) and an end-face annular bracing disk (7), an annular structure (2) guided displaceably in the housing along a press axis (X), and a plurality of press jaws (3) disposed around the press axis (X), wherein the press jaws are braced in radially displaceably guided manner on the bracing disk (7) and the annular structure (2) acts on the press jaws by means of control faces (14), wherein the control faces are inclined relative to the press axis (X) and bear against mating faces of the press jaws (3) constructed as sliding faces (13), wherein:
• the annular structure (2) is constructed in crown-shaped manner on its end face (23) turned toward the bracing disk (7) and has a number of axial projections (24) corresponding to the number of press jaws (3), wherein each control face (14) extends into a radial inner face (25) of such each of the projections (24) and wherein the bracing disk (7) has recesses (28), which are associated with the projections (24) and into which the projections (24) are inserted during closing of the radial press.
