The term crimping is mainly used in sealing technology, but also in electronic connection technology (especially crimping) and pipeline construction.
The common feature of pressing applications is that a change in the cross-section of round materials is used to create a secure connection between two or more components. The compression is caused by pressure applied by tools such as presses and pliers.
However, there are also applications in which the pressure comes directly from the components between which another component is to be pressed.
