HYDRAULIC PINCH TOOL

Hydraulic / Pneumatic & Hydraulic / Electric Pinch Off tools (HY-187, HY-250, HY-500, HY-750, HY-1.0)

The HY-series hydraulic / pneumatic & Hydraulic / Electric pinch-off tools are design to hermetically seal OFHC copper or annealed aluminum tubing with no secondary sealing required after the pinch (solder, braze, etc.). These tools are available in 5 different sizes to accommodate tube diameters ranging from 0.187" through 1.0".  Teamed with the appropriate hydraulic pump, these tools will provide a true hermetic (cold weld) joint for critical applications where the tubing must not, and cannot leak.  If you are considering the use of these tools for a pinch-off application, we strongly suggest you submit a sample of your tubing to CPS for evaluation prior to ordering. More specific information on the tool is located in the product section below.  Catalogs and data sheets for the HY-Series pinch-off tools will also be found below.

What Models are available in a hydraulic pinch-off tool?

We offer 5 models of hydraulic pinch-off tools. Model #HY-187 is for tubing 0.187" diameter or less. Model #HY-250 is for tubing .0.250" diameter or less. Model #HY-500 is for tubing 0.375"-0.500" diameter.  Model #HY-750 is for tubing 0.625" - 0.750" diameter.  Model HY-1.0 is for tubing from 0.875-1.0" diameter.  The standard angle of the pinch jaws is 45 degrees.  Optional angles can be provided on a special order basis.  Custom tools will carry a lead time of 8-12 weeks.  We are currently working on a tool that will expand our offering for tubing up to 1" diameter.

How is the power generated?

When your HY-Series tool is ordered, we will calibrate the Enerpac hydraulic pump and HY-Series hand-set to work properly with the tube samples you have provided us. The hydraulic / pneumatic pumps require lower air consumption, which makes them one of the quietest pumps available (75dBA). 

Hydraulic pumps are available as either (1) Hydraulic / Pneumatic or (2) Hydraulic / Electric.  The Hydraulic / Pneumatic pumps will require a minimum of 100 - 120 p.s.i. air pressure to properly build hydraulic pressure.  If your shop air is less than 100 p.s.i., you may want to consider using the Hydraulic / Electric pump as an option, as no compressed air is required.
