Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AEROQUIP CRIMP DIE from 3G Electric.
What hose constructions are supported by Aeroquip crimp die cages?
Aeroquip crimp die cages in the supplied range support 1 wire braid, 2 wire braid, and spiral hose 4S constructions. Specific SKUs may cover one or more of these types. For example, FT1380-275-M090 and FT1380-275-M120 are intended for 1 wire braid hose, while FT1380-200-M320 is designed for 2 wire braid and spiral hose 4S. FT1381-200-M280 accommodates 1 wire braid, 2 wire braid, and spiral hose 4S. Always verify the hose construction against the die cage specification before crimping.
What is the maximum crimp diameter range available for Aeroquip crimp dies?
The Aeroquip crimp die cages supplied by 3G Electric cover maximum crimp diameters from 90 mm to 370 mm. Specific part numbers include FT1380-275-M090 (90 mm), FT1380-275-M120 (120 mm), FT1380-200-M150 (150 mm), FT1380-200-M180 (180 mm), FT1380-200-M210 (210 mm), FT1381-200-M280 (280 mm), FT1380-200-M320 (320 mm), and FT1380-200-M370 (370 mm). The required crimp diameter depends on the hose and fitting combination being assembled.
Which crimping machines are compatible with Aeroquip FT1380 series die cages?
Aeroquip FT1380 series die cages are designed for use with FT1380 crimping machines. Some SKUs also reference the FT1380E variant. The FT1381 series die cages, such as FT1381-200-M280, are intended for FT1381 equipment. Compatibility is determined by the machine series and the die cage part number. Confirm the machine model and the die cage part number before ordering to ensure correct fit and crimp performance.
How do I identify the correct Aeroquip crimp die cage for my application?
Identify the hose construction (1 wire braid, 2 wire braid, or spiral hose 4S), the required maximum crimp diameter, and the crimping machine series. Aeroquip part numbers encode this information: for example, FT1380-200-M150 indicates an FT1380-series cage with a 150 mm maximum crimp diameter. The middle segment (200 or 275) may denote a size or series code. Use the part number and the datasheet to cross-reference against your existing tooling and hose assembly specifications.
What is the finish on Aeroquip crimp die cages?
Aeroquip crimp die cages in the supplied range have a black finish. This is consistent across the listed SKUs, including FT1380-200-M150, FT1380-275-M090, FT1381-200-M280, FT1380-200-M210, FT1380-200-M180, FT1380-200-M320, FT1380-200-M370, and FT1380-275-M120. The finish is a standard characteristic of these die cages and does not affect the crimp dimensions or compatibility.
Can 3G Electric supply Aeroquip crimp dies for global delivery?
Yes. 3G Electric supplies Aeroquip crimp dies and die sets worldwide. The catalog includes multiple SKUs with manufacturer part numbers and datasheets. Buyers can request quotes for specific die cages, verify compatibility with their crimping equipment, and arrange international shipping. 3G Electric provides SKU-level ordering and logistics coordination for plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists.
