Even with proper selection and installation, hose life may be significantly reduced without a continuing maintenance program. The severity of the application, risk potential from a possible hose failure, and experience with any hose failures in the application or in similar applications should determine the frequency of the inspection and the replacement for the products […]
New GoldenCrimp 420 is designed for harsh environments and high crimping force
Developed after many years’ experience in some of the worlds’ toughest mining workshops, the GoldenCrimp 420 from Manuli Hydraulics sets new standards for resilience and reliability while offering the performance and adaptability that is vital in modern hose assembly operations.

Why should you use thread identification kits?
Thread Identification kits are available for countless styles of hydraulic hose fittings, particularly for common styles and sizes, for example, NPT, SAE, metric and BSPP fittings. These kits are designed to reduce confusion between different styles of fittings, which have fairly similar threads. They’re also used to differentiate between male and female fittings. Although fittings […]

Tubing versus hose in pneumatic systems
The wires of the pneumatic world are tubing and hoses. Here’s how to choose between the two, and how to apply each in industrial plants and facilities. By Chip McDaniel, AutomationDirect The world of fluid power may not be full of new and amazing products, but it’s used daily and requires connections via tubing and […]
Why should you model a hydraulic fluid transmission line?
When designing a hydraulic fluid conveyance system—whether it is pipe, hose or tube—it is important beforehand to model or simulate it to prevent power loss and determine its effect on the rest of the system. If modeling of a line is not completed, you are ignoring a lot of power losses that realistically are going […]
