Crimping device for electrical crimping and sealed crimping

A device for crimping a contact on an end portion of a cable, the cable comprising a core and a sheath surrounding the core, the end portion of said cable comprising a stripped part showing the core of the cable, with the contact being positioned about said end portion so as to cover the stripped part and a part provided with the sheath, said device comprising an axial bore enabling the introduction of said cable and of said contact positioned about the end portion, said device further comprising:

• first crimping means for crimping the contact on the stripped part and second crimping means for crimping the contact on the part provided with said sheath, the crimping means being positioned about said bore and being movable in a radial direction with respect to said bore between a distant position enabling the introduction of the cable and of the contact into said bore and a crimping position, wherein said crimping means are intended to apply a pressure onto the contact so as to carry out the crimping operation;
• first and second moving means respectively, for moving said first and second crimping means between their distant position and their crimping position, the first and second moving means being, each, provided with at least one cam cooperating with said crimping means so as to move them in the radial direction;
• means for actuating such moving means;
• wherein the first moving means can be actuated in translation in an axial direction and the second moving means can be activated in rotation about the axis of said bore so as to move said first and second crimping means in the radial direction between their distant position and their crimping position.
