HOME PRODUCTS KNOWLEDGE BASE PRICING / BUYING ABOUT CONTACT Model RSS Home / Low Cost Crimpers / Model RSS Low Cost Simple Operation High Radial Force Capability Model RSS Manual Crimper An injection-molded crimping tool sized for crimping of prosthetic aortic heart valves, but is suitable for many applications in medical device manufacturing, R&D labs, and catheter labs. The RSS is useful for clamping and holding cylindrical objects with even pressure. It is also suitable as a many-use or single-use disposable crimper in certain applications. Large discounts are available on high-quantity orders. Model RSS crimping tools have 10 dies made from POM acetal copolymer blended with PTFE lubricant. This new and proprietary type of compression mechanism has exceptional mechanical advantage and relatively low internal friction, results in the strongest hand-actuated crimper available. This crimper is not available with an adjustable mechanical closed-stop, but may be ordered with a factory-installed fixed closed stop. An optional ¼-inch square drive input is available to replace the hand crank, so that you can actuate the unit with your torque wrench. Also available: an optional electric actuation module model TQP “Torque Pal” allows the RSS crimping tools to be controlled by a Blockwise CX crimping machine base, providing excellent process control and “sequence-of-steps” recipe programmability, together with a quickly replaceable disposable crimping mechanism. Model RSS – Hand Crank Actuation Rotate the crank to reduce the diameter. A ratchet may be engaged to hold at a certain diameter.
