Description
The Cembre B1350L-CT crimping tool is a heavy-duty 18V battery hydraulic crimper for installing electrical compression connectors on conductors from 10 to 400 mm².
It develops 132 kN of nominal crimping force and uses the standard die system shared with compatible Cembre 130 kN tools and heads.
However, the B1350L-CT features an enlarged 42 mm C-head opening. Therefore, operators gain extra clearance around large connectors and can remove the tool from the crimping area more easily after completing a crimp.
B1350L-CT Crimping Tool
The B1350L-CT combines powerful hydraulic performance with a compact pistol-grip design.
Its cordless 18V hydraulic system eliminates the need for an external hydraulic pump or hose. As a result, the tool suits field installation, switchboard, utility, infrastructure and industrial applications.
In addition, the ergonomic handle provides comfortable operation during repetitive crimping work.
B1350L-CT 42 mm C-Head
The major advantage of the B1350L-CT crimping tool is its enlarged open C-head.
The head provides an opening of up to 42 mm and rotates through 180°. Therefore, operators can position the crimper more easily around cables and connectors.
The additional clearance is particularly useful with large terminals or installations where removing a standard C-head tool after crimping can be difficult.
In comparison, the standard B1350-CT uses a smaller C-head configuration.
132 kN Battery Hydraulic Crimping
The tool develops 132 kN of nominal crimping force and supports electrical connectors on conductors from 10 to 400 mm².
Depending on the connector and selected die, supported crimping profiles include:
- Hexagonal crimping
- Indent crimping
- Oval crimping
- Radial crimping
- Circular crimping
Therefore, one tool can support a broad range of electrical cable lug and connector applications.
However, always select the correct Cembre die for the connector, conductor size and required crimp profile.
B1350L-CT EPS Pressure Monitoring
The B1350L-CT uses an EPS electronic pressure sensor to monitor hydraulic pressure during each crimping cycle.
As a result, the tool can monitor the force developed during the crimp and provide operating feedback to the user.
In addition, a quick pressure-release button allows operators to release hydraulic pressure whenever required.
A protected run button also helps prevent accidental activation.
B1350L-CT OLED Display and SMARTOOL
An integrated OLED display provides real-time operating information.
For example, operators can monitor:
- Crimping force
- Battery charge status
- Completed work cycles
- Remaining cycles before maintenance
- General tool operating information
Furthermore, Cembre SMARTOOL technology records operating data for digital review and download.
Therefore, users can access useful information for tool management, servicing and maintenance records.
LED lights also illuminate the working area.
B1350L-CT Crimping Die Compatibility
The B1350L-CT crimping tool uses the standard die system compatible with other Cembre 130 kN tools and hydraulic heads.
For example, suitable dies can also be used with products such as the Cembre RHC131 Hydraulic Crimping Head and HT131-C Manual Hydraulic Crimping Tool, subject to connector compatibility.
Therefore, businesses already using Cembre 130 kN tooling can share compatible dies across multiple tools.
Crimping dies are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
B1350L-CT vs B1350-CT
Both the B1350L-CT and Cembre B1350-CT Battery Hydraulic Crimping Tool provide 132 kN cordless hydraulic crimping for conductors up to 400 mm².
However, the main difference is the crimping head.
The B1350L-CT features an enlarged 42 mm C-head opening. Therefore, it offers additional clearance around large connectors and completed crimps.
In comparison, the standard B1350-CT is lighter and more compact.
As a result, the B1350-CT may suit applications where minimum tool size and weight are priorities, while the B1350L-CT is ideal where additional head clearance is more important.
