1. INTRODUCTION

Straight Action Crimpers 217200--[ ] are designed to

be used with the tool holder assembly shown in

Figure 1 and accept various crimping dies to adapt

them for use with 626 pneumatic tooling assemblies.

For information concerning the setup and operation of

the pneumatic tool, refer to Customer Manual

409--5862.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric

units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].

Figures and illustrations are for reference only

and are not drawn to scale.

This instruction sheet provides:

— installation and removal of the straight action

crimper from the tool holder assembly

— crimping die installation and removal from the

straight action crimper

— maintenance, inspection, and repair information

for the straight action crimper

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

The straight action crimper facilitates the use of

various crimping dies and connects to the tool holder

assembly of the pneumatic tool to provide the

necessary straight line motion of the crimping dies

when the pneumatic tool is actuated. When actuated,

a cam extends through the tool holder into the

crimper, contacting an internal spring--loaded die

holder mechanism. The other end of this mechanism

is directly connected to the movable die and, as the

cam pushes against the mechanism, the movable die

moves in a straight line and bottoms against the

stationary die. When the cam of the pneumatic tool

retracts, the force is removed from the movable die

and the spring--loaded mechanism returns to its

starting position.

The crimping dies may also be opened and closed

manually by using the plastic slide switch, which is

coupled to the movable die and the spring--loaded

mechanism via a screw. The slide switch therefore

permits opening and closing of the crimping dies for

insertion and removal of the terminal or splice.

3.1. Straight Action Crimper

Before installing the straight action crimper, refer to

409--5862 for instructions on installing the tool holder
