A ball joint includes a carrier part and a hollow ball which is a component separate from the carrier part and is fixed on the carrier part.

A crimper analyzer system is disclosed. The crimper analyzer system also includes a network interface. The crimper analyzer system also includes a memory storage. The crimper analyzer system also includes one or more processors configured to: receive hose specifications and fitting specifications from the network interface, generate crimp parameters based on the received hose specifications and crimp operation data, obtain additional crimp operation data for a hose assembly operation, update the crimp operation data with the additional crimp operation data and store in the updated crimp operation data in the memory storage, and generate a unique assembly identification (UAID) for the hose assembly operation subsequent to the hose assembly operation.

Embodiments of the invention provide a crimper for use in a tool. The crimper can include a clevis, a nest, and an indenter. The clevis can include a first leg having a first slot and a second leg having a second slot. The first leg and the second leg can extend from a cylindrical body that has a base surface. The indenter can be configured to be moved from a retracted position to an extended position. The indenter can include a body with a work surface and a base on opposing sides of the body. The base of the indenter can be configured to engage the base surface of the cylindrical body when the indenter is in the retracted position.

A pressing tool includes a motor, a sensor, and a microcontroller coupled to the motor and the sensor. The microcontroller is configured to cause the motor to operate in a first direction, and obtain a motor parameter from the sensor. The microcontroller is further configured to determine an occurrence of a fault condition of the motor when the motor parameter satisfies a threshold. In response to determining the fault condition, the microcontroller is further configured to cause the motor to change from operation in the first direction to operate in a second direction, pause operation of the motor in the second direction, and resume operation of the motor in the first direction.

Provided are an object grasping device and a swaging-type tube fitting fastening tool. An object grasping device for grasping an outer peripheral surface of an object according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application may include: an upper frame provided to have an inner peripheral surface shape corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of an upper portion of the object so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the object in a grasping completion state in which the object grasping device grasps the outer peripheral surface of the object; a left lower frame provided to have an inner peripheral surface shape corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of a left lower portion of the object so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the left lower portion of the object in the grasping completion state; a right lower frame provided to have an inner peripheral surface shape corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of a right lower portion of the object so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the right lower portion of the object in the grasping completion state; a left link member configured to link a left portion of the upper frame and a middle portion of the left lower frame by means of hinges each having a rotating axis defined in a forward/backward direction; and a right link member configured to link a right portion of the upper frame and a middle portion of the right lower frame by means of hinges each having a rotating axis defined in the forward/backward direction.

A ball joint includes a carrier part and a hollow ball which is a component separate from the carrier part and is fixed on the carrier part.

A crimping tool is disclosed. The crimping tool includes a base, an operating member and a moving member. The base includes a pivot location, a sliding groove, and first and second fixing locations. The first and second fixing locations are respectively located on two ends of the sliding groove to fix a connector of a wire. The operating member includes a holding portion, a pivot hole and a gear. The pivot hole is pivotally connected to the pivot location of the base through a pivot shaft. The moving member includes a rack, and first and second crimping elements. When the operating member rotates, the gear drives the rack to enable the moving member to move simultaneously, so as to use the first or second crimping element to press fit the connector of the wire placed at the first or second fixing location.

The disclosure relates to an attachment for a base jaw of a pressing tool for pressing fittings in order to produce pipe connections, comprising an attachment body, a pressing section, formed on the attachment body, to form half of a jaw opening, and comprising a connecting section, formed on the attachment body, for a connection to the base jaw. The technical problem of providing attachments for exchangeable jaws, base jaws and systems which allow an improved use for fittings of different nominal widths is solved in that the pressing section and the connecting section are arranged at a distance from one another. The invention also relates to a base jaw and to a system consisting of at least two pairs of attachments and one pair of base jaws.

The invention relates to a method for connecting a connection section (33) of a hose (3) with a plug-in connector (4). The plug-in connector (4) comprises a connector body (6), which connector body (6) has a ring space (22). In a first method step, the connection section (33) is pushed into the ring space (22) of the plug-in connector (4) of the hose (3) from the hose accommodation side (25) of the connector body (6), and positioned there; in a second method step, a pressing tool (50) deforms the first mantle section (12) of the connector body (6).

The second mantle section (15) has a narrowing (39) at a front edge (38) of the hose accommodation side (25), whereby it is ensured that the connection section (33) of the hose (3) is freely deformed in the direction of the second mantle section (15) during the pressing process, at least in the region of the ring space (22) that is at a distance from the front edge (38), before the connection section (33) of the hose (3) comes to lie against the second mantle section (15).

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.
