Radial press

A radial press with a housing (1) having a jacket portion (6) and an end-face annular bracing disk (7), an annular structure (2) guided displaceably therein along a press axis (X) and several press jaws (3), which are disposed around the press axis (X) and which are braced in radially displaceably guided manner on the bracing disk (7) and on which the annular structure (2) acts by means of control faces (14), which 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 the radial inner face (25) of such a projection (24) and wherein further 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.
