Description
The Cembre B68M-P18 hydraulic pump is a portable 18V battery-powered electro-hydraulic pump for operating compatible Cembre hydraulic heads.
It develops hydraulic pressure up to 700 bar while remaining compact and portable for field use. Therefore, operators can power compatible crimping, cutting and specialist hydraulic heads without relying on mains electricity or a manual hydraulic pump.
In addition, the B68M-P18 includes a 2 m flexible high-pressure hose, remote control, OLED display and SMARTOOL digital support.
B68M-P18 Hydraulic Pump
The B68M-P18 uses an 18V battery-powered electric motor to drive its hydraulic system.
A two-speed hydraulic system helps speed up each operating cycle. First, the pump rapidly supplies hydraulic oil to advance the connected head. It then provides the hydraulic pressure required to complete the operation.
Meanwhile, Cembre’s EPS electronic pressure sensor monitors hydraulic pressure during use.
As a result, the pump provides controlled hydraulic operation up to 700 bar.
B68M-P18 Hydraulic Hose System
The pump includes a 2 m flexible high-pressure hose for connecting compatible hydraulic heads.
The hose incorporates an automatic-locking female quick coupler together with a swivel connection. Therefore, operators gain greater freedom when positioning the hydraulic head while the pump remains nearby.
In addition, the longer hose is particularly useful when working with larger or heavier heads in substations, switchboards, cable installations and field maintenance applications.
B68M-P18 Remote Control Operation
Operators can control the B68M-P18 hydraulic pump directly from the controls on the unit.
However, the supplied remote control also allows hydraulic operation away from the pump itself. Therefore, an operator can concentrate on positioning the connected crimping or cutting head while controlling the hydraulic cycle.
In addition, a protected run button helps reduce the risk of accidental activation.
B68M-P18 OLED Display and SMARTOOL
The pump includes an integrated OLED display for viewing operating information.
Furthermore, Cembre SMARTOOL technology records operating data for digital review and download.
As a result, users can access information that may assist with tool management, maintenance records and monitoring of hydraulic operations.
In addition, LED lights illuminate the working area in low-light conditions.
B68M-P18 Hydraulic Safety Features
Cembre incorporates several hydraulic and operational control features into the pump.
For example, these include:
- EPS electronic pressure sensor
- Pressure relief valve
- Quick pressure release button
- Smart Release technology
- Manual pressure release
- Protected operating button
- Automatic-locking hydraulic quick coupler
Therefore, operators have greater control over hydraulic pressure throughout the work cycle.
B68M-P18 Compatible Hydraulic Heads
The B68M-P18 hydraulic pump provides a portable power source for compatible 700 bar Cembre hydraulic heads.
Depending on the connected head, applications can include:
- Electrical connector crimping
- Large cable lug crimping
- Copper and aluminium cable cutting
- Conductor cutting
- Other compatible hydraulic tool applications
For example, the pump can power compatible 700 bar equipment such as the Cembre ECW-H3D 230 kN Hydraulic Crimping Head.
However, always confirm the operating pressure, oil requirements and hydraulic coupling of the selected head before use.
B68M-P18 vs B1300PL Hydraulic Pump
Both the B68M-P18 and Cembre B1300PL Portable Electro-Hydraulic Pump provide portable battery-powered hydraulic pressure for compatible Cembre heads.
However, the B68M-P18 adds newer digital and control features, including an OLED display, EPS electronic pressure sensing, SMARTOOL technology and remote control.
In addition, it uses a 2 m hydraulic hose, which provides more working distance between the pump and connected hydraulic head.
Therefore, the B68M-P18 provides a modern option for users who require portable 700 bar hydraulic power together with enhanced monitoring and control.
