Abstract
A device for adjusting the clamping pressure in applicators for clamping terminals onto electrical cables comprising a composite pivot interposed between an actuation hammer and a supporting element to which the tools for clamping the terminal respectively onto the insulation and onto the core of the conductor are slidingly coupled in a mutually parallel arrangement; the thrust of the hammer acts on the heads of the tools, and the pivot is rigidly coupled to the hammer or to the supporting element. The pivot has coaxial threaded regions on which respective wheels are engaged. Screwing/unscrewing of the wheels varies axial distance, with respect to the hammer, of either the tools or only of the insulation clamping tool.
Claims10
A device for adjusting the clamping pressure in applicators for clamping terminals onto electrical cables provided with core and insulation, comprising:
- tools for clamping a terminal onto the insulation and onto the core of a conductor respectively;
- an actuation hammer;
- a supporting element to which said tools are rigidly coupled in a parallel arrangement;
- a composite pivot which is interposed between said hammer and said supporting element, said hammer acting on respective heads of said tools by pushing, said pivot being rigidly coupled to any of said hammer and said supporting element;
- coaxial threaded regions provided at said pivot;
- respective actuation wheels engaged at said threaded regions, with a first one of said wheels being engaged on a side of said hammer and a second one of said wheels being engaged on a side of said supporting element, said second wheel acting only on the insulation clamping tool, said first wheel being movable for screwing and unscrewing motion on a first one of said threaded regions to vary axial distance of said tools with respect to said hammer, and said second wheel being movable for screwing and unscrewing motion on a second one of said threaded regions for varying axial distance of only the insulation clamping tool.
