The unique gripper clamp feature two-piece collars with double-tapered walls to eliminate pipe slippage during expansion and reduction operations. The greater the force exerted on the tube, the tighter the grip is. This unit is designed for use with solid dies to perform many different forming operations, slip fits, domes, flares, ball joints, flanges and reductions. |
The Hydra-sizer provides rapid set-up time and high degree of accuracy for both I.D. and O.D. expansions including slip fits, flare, inner flaring with segment type tooling. This unit can expand muffler nipples and works closer to bend than the expander. You merely snap on the proper tooling segment set, dial in the desired dimensions on the micrometer-type barrel, which is calibrated in 1/64" insert and jog the hydraulic control handle to complete the expansions. |
