Crimp Sleeve OERLIKON WTT0/20 for 6 mm Cable

Crimp Sleeve OERLIKON WTT0/20 for 6 mm Cable is a compression-type mechanical connector designed to form a permanent, compact joint on 6 mm wire or rope. Manufactured for applications that require a fixed sleeve termination, this product creates a stable connection when compressed with the appropriate crimping tool. The sleeve is intended for use where a reliable crimped joint is needed in electrical, mechanical or rigging assemblies and where space-efficient terminations are preferred.

Advantages

The crimp sleeve provides a secure, low-profile mechanical joint that resists loosening when properly installed. Its design enables consistent compression across the conductor or rope, resulting in predictable mechanical performance. Installation requires only a matching crimping tool, making it suitable for field and workshop use. The compact form factor helps maintain a neat termination and reduces bulk at connection points.

Suitable for

• Creating permanent terminations on 6 mm steel wire rope or stranded conductors
• Mechanical assemblies that require fixed, compact sleeves
• Rigging, securing, and tensioning operations in industrial or marine environments
• Simple electrical or grounding connections where a crimped sleeve is acceptable

Key specifications

• Designed for 6 mm diameter cable or wire rope
• Compression-style mechanical connector for permanent joints
• Compact, low-profile sleeve geometry for tight spaces
• Compatible with appropriate manual or hydraulic crimping tools

How to use

Prepare the cable by cutting to the required length and ensuring clean, straight ends. Insert the prepared cable into the crimp sleeve so that the conductors or strands are fully engaged within the sleeve. Position the sleeve in the correct crimping station of the matching crimping tool and apply the specified compression force until the sleeve is fully deformed to form a permanent joint. After crimping, inspect the sleeve visually and, if applicable, perform a pull test or electrical continuity check to confirm a secure connection.

Usage recommendations

Use a crimping tool rated for the sleeve size and the cable material to ensure consistent compression. Avoid reuse of sleeves after crimping; replace with a new sleeve for each termination. When used in environments exposed to moisture or corrosive conditions, consider appropriate corrosion protection or sealing measures compatible with the sleeve material and the application.
