Radial press having two press yokes movable radially against one another

Radial press comprising:

• a set of two press yokes with a first yoke being movable toward and away from a second yoke, a press axis (A) and a plurality of outer cam surfaces which have surface normals aimed at the press axis, and at least two of said plurality of outer cam surfaces being capable of actuation by the first movable press yoke, a driving system for moving the first press yoke in a drive direction toward the second yoke with respect to the press axis (A), one pair of the outer cam surfaces being disposed in the first press yoke and a second pair of the outer cam surfaces being disposed in the second press yoke, a plurality of outer cam control bodies, each lying between two of the outer cam surfaces and each having a press jaw, a plurality of inner cam follower bodies each lying between two outer cam control bodies for radial advancement by two of said outer cam control bodies, and each having a press jaw, said outer cam surfaces and said control bodies radially advancing said press jaws toward the press axis, traction posts for guiding the first press yoke with respect to the second press yoke, the traction posts running parallel to the drive direction and passing through the second press yoke at ends of the second press yoke lying beyond the outer cam surfaces with respect to the axis (A), and fixedly joined to the first press yoke, and the driving system including a driver having a pulling action fixedly joined to the traction posts and thereby to the first press yoke.
