The NPT Series of quick couplings offered by Turkish manufacturer, Oleocon Hydraulic, features flat surfaces that are easy to clean. Thus, the entry of extraneous particles into the hydraulic system is minimized. Other benefits include: • imperviousness at minimum levels and is environmentally sensitive • by keeping the air inlet at minimum levels during connection, […]

Hydraulic fittings and couplings trend toward safety
Hydraulic fittings and couplings are often overlooked in mobile machinery design, yet they play a critical role in any fluid power system. In extremely high-pressure hydraulic applications, a leak or accidental disconnection can cause serious personal injury or damage to machinery. Therefore, machine builders must select fittings of the correct size, material, pressure and temperature […]

Dayco expands hydraulics hose and couplings line in North America
Dayco, an engine products and drive systems specialist for the automotive, industrial and aftermarket sectors, is rounding out its hydraulic offering with the expansion of its KWIK-FLEX product line, a competitively priced line that was only available on a limited basis in Canada. KWIK-FLEX now includes more comprehensive coverage for the most popular types and […]
FEM quick couplings for working pressures up to 350 bar
Parker Hannifin has launched the new optimized FEM Quick Coupling Series which offers an increased working pressure up to 350 bar and a decreased pressure drop for better flow properties. The revised and updated FEM and FEC series have profiles corresponding to ISO 16028 and exceed the technical requirements in the ISO 16028 specifications. They […]
What should you know when specifying quick couplings?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Hydraulic quick couplings provide users with the ability to rapidly connect and disconnect hydraulic hoses to machines or other sections of plumbing. Also called quick-connects or quick disconnects, these fittings allow fluid to flow when the male and female sides are locked together. Conversely, when disconnected, the quick couplings prevent […]
Faster wins John Deere Supplier Innovation Award for multi-connection couplings
Helios Technologies Inc. announced yesterday that its subsidiary, Faster S.r.l, has been selected as a recipient of the John Deere Supplier Innovation Award for 2020 for its multi-connection couplings with integrated valve system. The award is presented to a select group of suppliers who have demonstrated innovation in a product or service they provide to […]
Quick connectors deliver fast, non-marring leak-free connections
The FE/FI series quick connectors deliver fast, non-marring, leak free quick connections. The quick connectors seal externally “FE” or internally “FI” and the uniform seal movement makes a leak tight, quick connection, even over threaded, rough or oily surfaces. The connectors will automatically verify all connection tools are properly sealed prior to starting a test. […]
