Abstract

A crimping device is disclosed having a plurality of dies driven by a camming action toward a central axis so that an article between the dies can be crimped. A hydraulic actuator is provided for causing the camming action for moving the dies. An adjusting member forming a stop is provided for defining an end-of-stroke position of the hydraulic actuator for adjustment of the radial spacing between the dies.
