MSK-PN110-S Fast Pneumatic Crimper for CR20XX Series Coin Cells, Cleanroom and Glovebox Compatible
The MSK-PN110-S is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of battery researchers and manufacturers working with coin cells such as CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. It offers a pneumatic crimping solution driven by compressed inert gas or air, enabling precise and repeatable sealing of coin cell cases. This device is particularly suited for use in cleanroom environments rated up to 1000 grade and inside inert atmosphere gloveboxes, ensuring contamination-free operation.
Unlike hydraulic crimpers, the gas-driven MSK-PN110-S eliminates risks of hydraulic fluid leaks, making it safer and cleaner for sensitive battery assembly workflows. It operates at a recommended gas pressure of 0.8 MPa (maximum 1.0 MPa) and can seal approximately 500 to 600 coin cells per hour, significantly improving throughput. The crimper is compact and designed for easy integration into gloveboxes, with a KF40 feedthrough set included for connecting to an inert gas source such as argon or nitrogen.

Typical Applications
Ideal for battery research and development labs assembling coin cells under controlled atmospheres. Suitable for cleanroom production lines requiring high throughput and consistent crimping quality. Compatible with glovebox environments using high purity argon or nitrogen gases to prevent contamination.
Configuration and Operating Notes
The crimper requires a separate compressed gas source, either an inert gas cylinder with a two-stage pressure regulator or an air compressor for use outside gloveboxes. When operating inside gloveboxes, only high purity inert gases (Ar or N2) must be used to avoid contamination. The included KF40 feedthrough set facilitates gas connection through the glovebox wall.
Maintenance includes cleaning crimping dies with ethanol after each use to prevent corrosion from electrolyte residues. Spare dies for various coin cell sizes are available separately. Users should avoid operating the crimper without workpieces or exceeding the maximum gas pressure to prevent damage.
