Description
Cembre B1300TEP-T Battery Hydraulic Rail Bush Installation Tool
The Cembre B1300TEP-T Battery Hydraulic Rail Bush Installation Tool provides fast and repeatable installation of Cembre AR rail web electrical contacts.
An 18V battery hydraulic pump powers the tool, while the RHTEP-S installation head connects through a 900 mm high-pressure hose. As a result, operators can position the lightweight head at the rail while keeping the hydraulic power unit close at hand.
The B1300TEP-T supports common Cembre AR rail connection systems, including the AR60D, AR260D and AR65.
Cembre B1300TEP-T Kit Contents
The kit includes:
- 18V battery hydraulic pump
- 900 mm high-pressure hydraulic hose
- RHTEP-S rail bush installation head
- 2 x OG13.2 installation mandrels
- CAL19.20 Go/No-Go rail hole gauge
- AR260 Washer Kit
- 2 x 18V 5.2Ah batteries
- Australian battery charger
- Carry strap
- USB cable
- Heavy-duty carrying case
The standard tooling supports AR60D and AR260D installation. In addition, the system can install other compatible Cembre AR connections with the appropriate tooling.
B1300TEP-T Compatible Rail Connections
B1300TEP-T Installation of AR60D
The Cembre AR60D provides a single-sided M12 rail web bush connection for 14–16.5 mm rail webs using a 19 mm rail hole.
The standard B1300TEP-T tooling supports AR60D installation.
AR260D Rail Bush Installation
The Cembre AR260D provides a double-sided M12 rail web connection through a single 19 mm rail web bush.
The kit includes the AR260 Washer Kit for this application.
B1300TEP-T Installation of AR65
The Cembre AR65 provides a single-sided M12 rail web bush connection for 14–16.5 mm rail webs using a 22 mm rail hole.
The B1300TEP-T can also install the AR65 system when operators use the appropriate installation tooling.
AR67 Rail Connection Installation
The tool can also install the Cembre AR67 8 mm rail web connection.
However, this application requires the separately available AR67-INST Installation Kit.
AR60A-41 Rail Bush Installation
For thicker rail webs, the B1300TEP-T can install the AR60A-41 double-sided connection for 40–44 mm rail webs.
For this application, use the dedicated AR60.41-INST installation kit.
AR66D and AR266D-16.5 Compatibility
The tool also supports the AR66D and AR266D-16.5 rail web connections.
These applications use the OG10.5T-M9 mandrel together with the CAL135.145 gauge.
B1300TEP-T Quick-Connect Hydraulic System
The B1300TEP-T does more than install rail bushes.
Its quick-connect hydraulic hose allows operators to remove the RHTEP-S installation head and connect other compatible Cembre hydraulic heads.
Compatible options include:
- RHC131 130 kN hydraulic crimping head
- TC025 hydraulic cable cutting head
Therefore, one battery hydraulic power unit can support rail bush installation, cable lug crimping and conductor cutting.
B1300TEP-T vs HTEP
Both the B1300TEP-T and HTEP install Cembre AR rail web electrical connections. However, the two tools use different hydraulic power sources.
The B1300TEP-T uses an 18V battery-powered hydraulic pump, which provides fast powered operation.
In comparison, the HTEP uses a manual hydraulic pump and requires no batteries or charging equipment.
Therefore, the B1300TEP-T better suits crews that regularly install rail web connections or want faster powered operation. Meanwhile, the HTEP provides a dependable manual option for occasional work, remote sites or backup use.
