SET THE CRIMPER WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
Each Gates crimper comes with validated crimp settings data for the complete hose and coupling product range. Don’t waste time finding the ideal settings via trial-and-error but gain fast and easy access to crimping instructions and crimp diameters via ecrimp.gates.eu or the eCrimp app.

DOWNTIME

REDUCED GREASE-FREE OPERATION
Gates MCX crimpers come with a unique self-lubricating slide-bearing system, which fully eliminates metal-to-metal abrasion between master dies and the crimper head, decreasing friction by 20%. An additional result of the self-lubricating slide bearing system is that your working environment becomes cleaner, while dirt and debris are less likely to cause costly downtime. This enduring, low maintenance design brings the total cost of Gates crimper ownership to incredibly low values.
