Cembre RHU1000 hydraulic crimping press head with 1100 kN crimping force for transmission, overhead line and substation compression connectors.
£10,455.00
The Cembre RHU1000 (MPN: 2640810) is a heavy-duty 1100 kN hydraulic crimping press head engineered for full-tension transmission, substation and overhead line connector applications. Designed for use with compatible 700 bar hydraulic pumps, it provides exceptional crimping performance for the largest compression cable lugs, sleeves and transmission connectors.
Manufactured by Cembre, the RHU1000 features a rugged U-shaped head with a removable upper die holder, enabling easy connector positioning and fast die changes. It accepts most standard 100-ton semi-circular slotted dies, making it suitable for demanding utility and power infrastructure projects.
With a massive 1100 kN crimping force, the RHU1000 is the ideal solution for overhead transmission, substations and high-voltage cable installations where secure, repeatable electrical terminations are essential.
Hydraulic press heads provide the extremely high compression forces required to produce secure, low-resistance electrical terminations on large conductors used within transmission and substation networks. The RHU1000 delivers consistent, repeatable crimps for critical electrical infrastructure.
Designed for compatibility with professional hydraulic pumps and industry-standard die systems, the RHU1000 is widely used by utility contractors, transmission engineers and electrical infrastructure specialists working on high-voltage power networks.
