Crimping Tool Klauke K05WF50 for 50 mm² Cable

Klauke K05WF50 is a manual crimping press tool designed for crimping 50 mm² cable lugs and connectors. The tool provides controlled mechanical force to form consistent, gas-tight crimps on copper and aluminium conductors used in electrical installation, maintenance and light industrial applications. Compact and robust in construction, it is intended to support reliable electrical connections while minimising the need for rework.

Advantages

The crimping press applies uniform pressure to ensure repeatable crimps with correct compression for 50 mm² cable terminations. Its manual operation eliminates dependence on mains power or batteries, making it ready for field use. The compact design and durable materials offer a long service life under typical workshop and site conditions. The tool's mechanism is engineered for precision force application to help achieve proper contact resistance and mechanical stability of the connection.

Suitable for

• Crimping 50 mm² cable lugs and ring terminals
• Electrical installation and service work in residential and commercial buildings
• Maintenance and repair tasks in light industrial settings
• On-site work where portable, non-powered crimping is required

Key specifications

• Crimp range: designed for 50 mm² conductors and corresponding lugs/connectors
• Operation: manual press mechanism for controlled force application
• Construction: compact handheld press with robust metal components
• Intended conductor types: suitable for copper and aluminium cable terminations when using compatible lugs
• Application fields: electrical installation, maintenance and light industrial use

How to use

Position the appropriate 50 mm² lug or connector in the tooling head and insert the stripped conductor to the correct insertion depth. Operate the manual press handle steadily to apply even pressure until the crimp is complete. After crimping, release the press and inspect the crimp for correct compression and alignment; verify mechanical retention and, where required, measure contact resistance or perform a pull test according to industry practice. Ensure you use the correct die or crimp profile recommended for the lug material and conductor type.

Recommendations

Use only lugs and dies that match the 50 mm² conductor specification and the connector material. Regularly inspect the tool for wear or damage to the pressing surfaces, keep the mechanism clean and lubricated as specified by the manufacturer, and follow applicable safety procedures when working with live electrical circuits or during testing.
