Product catalog summary
Overview: The Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP) models HIP 2000 | 386 and HIP 2000 | 387 are designed for the installation of Genuine Oetiker Ear Clamps. These tools are particularly beneficial for industry, trade, and automotive applications, offering easier closure with less hand force and top sealing performance.
Specifications: Both models have a length of 225 mm, width of 55 mm, height of 23 mm, and a reference jaw force of 2000 N. The HIP 2000 | 386 weighs 356 g with a jaw width of 12 mm, while the HIP 2000 | 387 weighs 369 g with a jaw width of 8 mm. Both have an opening gap of 16.5 mm and can handle ear widths up to 13 mm.
Benefits: The compound action design of these pincers allows for easier closure compared to single action tools, requiring up to 30% less hand strength. This design also provides a high-quality, versatile tool that covers a wide range of ear clamps.
Technical Data: The tools are applicable for various clamp sizes and materials, with closing forces ranging from 1000 N to 2800 N depending on the clamp size and material.
Design Features: The HIP 2000 | 387 includes a side jaw for use in tight spaces, allowing for installation or removal of clamps where standard jaws may not fit. However, this requires greater precision when closing wide band ear clamps.
Closing Force Comparison: The compound action tools provide a mechanical advantage over single action tools, requiring less applied force to pinch clamps. However, the consistency of hand pincer closing force cannot be guaranteed due to variability in applied force and specific application properties.
Safety Notice: Users must ensure worker safety and connection integrity, as the maximum closing force of clamps may be exceeded. Reference jaw forces are guidelines only.
