How do you protect hydraulic hose?

February 15, 2017 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

Essentra-HOSE-PROTECTION

Hydraulic hose assemblies rarely operate in controlled, protected environments. Rather, rough and demanding conditions are the norm. Thus, hose is often exposed to flying debris in mobile equipment and the likes of weld spatter and hot metal chips—or even the errant lift truck—in industrial settings. Add to that, hoses subjected to continuous movement and machine […]

What is nonconductive hose?

February 1, 2017 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

Parker-nonconductive hose 518C-518D_zm-

Engineers and technicians specifying hoses for hydraulic circuits routinely consider factors like pressure ratings and flow capacity. But in some instances, electrical shock is a potential risk to equipment and operators, and that demands hydraulic hoses that ensure safety when machines operate near high-voltage sources like power lines. Thus, nonconductive hydraulic hoses are recommended for […]

What is a thermoplastic hydraulic hose?

January 30, 2017 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

EATON-synflex-f

Thermoplastic hoses are common in both mobile and industrial equipment, and they are widely used in medium-to-high pressure hydraulic applications. Related products are often specified for handling compressed air and other gases, transporting chemicals, and in water-cleaning and paint-spray operations. Like its rubber counterpart, thermoplastic hydraulic hose typically has an inner tube, one or more […]

What is rubber hydraulic hose?

January 24, 2017 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

bend-radius

Rubber hydraulic hose is a common and important element in countless industrial and mobile machines. It serves as the plumbing that routes hydraulic fluid between tanks, pumps, valves, cylinders and other fluid-power components. Plus, hose is generally straightforward to route and install, and it absorbs vibration and dampens noise. Hose assemblies—hose with couplings attached to […]

How does extreme heat affect hydraulic hose?

October 31, 2016 By Ken Korane 2 Comments

volvo-arabian-desert-f

In a previous posting, the editors at Fluid Power World discussed how ultra-low temperatures can play havoc with the performance of typical rubber hose. Hydraulic hose used at high temperatures faces performance issues too, but for different reasons. That’s because thermal exposure can cause aging of elastomers and plastics. (Other causes of aging include exposure […]

5,000-psi coupling connects by hand

October 25, 2016 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

In underground mines, traditional staple-lock hydraulic couplings take a beating. They often get abused and damaged, and that makes them difficult to disconnect and service. At this year’s MINExpo show in Las Vegas, experts from Gates Corp., Denver, explained how their iLok coupling addresses the shortcomings of traditional staple-type connections, providing sizeable savings in assembly […]
