Execution: · Easy-to-change cutting plates · Cutting plates of powder metallurgical high-speed steel (HSS). Manufactured in the MIM process (Metal Injection Molding) · Extremely high durability compared to traditional wire rope cutters · Extremely soft shearing cut reliably prevents the wire rope from fanning out · Tip: Can be operated with one hand of an average size up to a 5 mm Ø. Therefore optimally suited as shears in an emergency at sea. Jaws/Cutting edges: · Specially arched cutting edges · Easy to replace cutting plates if worn · Hardness 62 - 65 HRC · Low force needed due to the optimum cutting-edge geometry · Two integrated press profiles for Bowden cable terminal sleeves and cable end sleeves Cutting performance: · Wire ropes up to 1800 N/mm2 with max. 6 mm Ø (e.g. stainless steel wire ropes, wire ropes with steel and textile cores, Bowden cables, shears) · Wire up to 750 N/mm2 with max. 4 mm Ø (e.g. nails/wire nails, screws, bolts, ceiling banners) · Single- and multi-core
