Clamp Collar Crimping Instructions
Care must be taken when crimping clamp collars onto a hydraulic hose. If
crimp is too tight, hose will be crushed, dramatically reducing its service life.
If crimp is too loose, collar could slide along hose’s length causing abrasion
and eventual hose cover failure.
Remember
: Clamp collars must be crimped
before
the hose couplings.
Use the following instructions to determine crimp diameter, which can then
be used to find crimping setting in Table 2. The required clamp collar for a
specific hydraulic hose is provided in Table 1.
1. Measure hose’s outside diameter at the location where clamp collar will
be crimped. This can be accomplished by using a pie tape or by using
the average hose outside diameter measured with a dial caliper.
2. Measure wall thickness of clamp collar with a dial caliper.
3. Obtain crimp diameter by adding hose outside diameter to twice the clamp collar wall
thickness (see formula below).
Crimp Diameter = (Hose O.D.) + [2 x .065 (Clamp Collar Wall Thickness)]
When crimping clamp collar, the crimp die should be located in the collar center, which will result
in a 1/8” flare on each side of the collar.
