A method for crimping a stent with a polymer coating in a humid environment is disclosed.

A manual pre-swage tool is particularly useful for pre-setting the tube fitting ferrules onto the tube prior to the actual installation of the fitting components into the tube fitting body. The pre-swage tool is used by clamping in a vise, or other suitable means, in an open area where leverage and ease of use can be obtained. This new and improved design tool of the present disclosure incorporates a feature that prevents the ferrules from being over tightened thereby preventing damage to the tool or ferrules and also allowing the pre-swaged assembly to be fully compatible with what is called stop collars and gap inspection gages that are commonly used in the field to indicate proper pull up of the tube fitting when installed.

A separator device 10 for removing particles from suspension in a fluid including a housing 12, having first and second apertures 96 for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the housing 12; a first separator chamber 38 disposed at one end of the housing; a second separator chamber 40 disposed at the other end of the housing, and a central chamber disposed between the first and second separator chambers 38, 40, the first and second separator chambers 38, 40 being apertured for ingress and egress of fluid from the central chamber and each containing obstruction means to slow the flow of fluid within the chamber.

A working head for a hydraulic power tool. The working head includes a head frame and a first moveable die head configured to move along the working head frame. The first moveable die head is configured to receive a first moveable die comprising a first body length and a second die head is adapted to receive a second die comprising a second body length. At least one of the moveable die or the stationary die comprises an elongated die.

A device head of a hydraulically actuatable tool includes an opposing holder which is integrally formed on the device head and which receives a first tool, and including a second tool that can be moved towards the opposing holder by a hydraulic piston. A cylindrical formation formed integrally with the device head and is provided relative to the hydraulic piston. The device head has an integrally formed toothing recess for the angular fixed, but also changeable, arrangement of a retaining rod.

A work head for or of a compression tool includes a compression jaw and an abutment jaw forming an arched abutment surface having a longitudinal extension arched in a hypothetical arc plane orthogonal to an insertion direction of the object into the abutment seat. The longitudinal extension has a first side segment, a second side segment opposite to the first side segment, and an apex segment in the shape of a neck extending between the first side segment and the second side segment, and an abutment width measurable in the insertion direction and orthogonal to the arc plane. The abutment width decreases from a first base width of the first side segment to an apex width of the apex segment. The abutment width decreases from a second base width of the second side segment to the apex width of the apex segment.

This coupling device for a tubular member is provided with: a base stand for holding an inner member and an outer member in a state in which the outer member is disposed around the inner member; a plurality of pressing members that are supported by the base stand in a movable manner in the radial direction of the inner member and the outer member and have a protruding part on the tip thereof; a pressing member that make contact with the final end of the pressing member and that can press the pressing member radially inward; and a drive mechanism that drives any one among the base stand and the pressing member in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the pressing member so that the one member moves relative to the other. The inner member and the outer member are caulked and coupled by driving, by the drive mechanism, any one among the base stand and the pressing member and displacing the pressing member radially inward to thereby expand, radially inward, a portion of a peripheral wall of the outer member by the protruding part.

A power tool including a moveable piston, a motor capable of driving the moveable piston to perform work on a work piece, and a distance sensor configured to sense a movement of the moveable piston. The distance sensor operable to provide sensor information indicative of the movement of the piston. A controller receives the sensor information from the distance sensor. The controller operates the motor to perform work on the work piece based in part on the sensor information that the controller receives from the distance sensor.
