The new Fabco-Air 300 Series of pneumatic power tools is designed to perform numerous manufacturing functions, improving product quality and increasing productivity on the production line. Now you can tackle a variety of assembly applications with confidence.

Available as hand-held or bench-mounted units, these automate the crimp installation process by crimping faster, neater and producing uniformly repeatable, reliable connections, time after time with less operator fatigue. Custom jaws available as specials.

Typical applications for Fabco-Air crimping tools include:

• Making plumbing assemblies
• Splicing wire rope and cable assemblies
• Crimping electrical terminals and connectors
• Swaging mechanical fasteners
• Staking, punching, piercing and flaring subassembly components
• Sealing, embossing and notching assemblies
• Special clamping and holding assemblies
• Special custom applications

The patented Fabco-Air Multi-Power® cylinder uses multiple pistons attached to a common shaft. Each piston is isolated within its own chamber by means of baffles integral with the outer cylinder wall. Special internal porting through the rod allows air pressure to simultaneously energize all pistons to produce over 1700 pounds force directly to the cam and power head. Force is increased through the cam and jaws to approximately 4000 pounds at 1” away from the tool and approximately 2500 lbs at a 2” distance.

The cut-away view illustrates the concept: Power stroke air path is shown with yellow arrows.
