Developed after many years’ experience in some of the worlds’ toughest Mining workshops the GoldenCrimp 420 sets new standards for resilience and reliability offering the performance and adaptability that is vital in modern hose assembly operations. Robust design enables the GoldenCrimp 420 to survive the rigors of both transport and operation in the harshest of environments. […]
Will tapered thread fittings work in my hydraulic system?
Tapered threads seal through deformation of the male and female thread. This non-positive sealing always provides the potential for leakage, so tapered threads are not recommended in high-pressure hydraulic systems. They tend to exist on older systems and farm equipment but new systems should always be designed with parallel thread fittings, especially those with soft […]
Why is my hydraulic hose leaking?
Chances are, your hydraulic hose is not leaking because it’s defective. Most hydraulic hose leaks are caused by using the wrong type of fitting or installing them incorrectly. Additionally, if an O-ring is missing or damaged or if over-under-torquing the connections has occurred, the seal may not be aligned correctly and even worse, the threads […]
Hybrid NITRA PVC hose is designed use with air and water
A new hybrid PVC/rubber hose introduced by AutomationDirect is suitable for air and water use. The NITRA Hybrid PVC hose is a blend of PVC and rubber with a polyester braided reinforcement. The PVC gives light weight, color stability and hardness for higher working pressures while the rubber gives improved flexibility and operating temperature range. […]
High-pressure hose from Kurt Hydraulics handles tight bends in less space
Designed for rugged, high-pressure applications, Kurt Tuff hydraulic hose has a 6500-psi capacity and uses less installation space. Its unique design allows bending twice as tight as standard SAE hose with half the bend radius.

Hose connections reinvented
The Quick-Connect system is an easy-to-install and cost-effective alternative to conventional hose connection fittings, according to officials at ARGO-HYTOS, Kraichtal, Germany. Tubes and hoses equipped with these connections can simply be plugged into the appropriate adapters by the user and fixed with enclosed locking clips. This assembly sequence is significantly faster than the steps required […]

How do you determine pressure drop through fittings?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor In a recent fluid power webinar, while presenting on Selecting & Sizing the Proper Fitting, I was asked a question by an attendee I had no good answer to. Near the latter portion of the webinar, I had been discussing pressure drop through fittings. Ensuring you provide a healthy, unimpeded […]
