Vitillo, with headquarters in Ariano Irpino, Italy, makes a wide range of fluid connectors and conductors suited for low and high-pressure hydraulic applications. It includes spiral and braided hoses with metal and textile reinforcement, standard and interlock crimp fittings, adaptors, customized special fittings and bent/shaped rigid tubing. All the fittings and adapters are available with […]
Smart crimper technology ensures safer hydraulic hose assemblies
Gates announces the latest innovation in smart crimper technology. The GC20 with Gates Cortex Intelligence takes the guesswork out of hose assembly fabrication and features intuitive touch-screen controls, on-board training, integrated eCrimp settings and remote support. The patent-pending GC20 Cortex is a smart and versatile solution for ultimate operational efficiency in both the factory and […]
100R2 Is not a Star Wars droid — find out what it and other SAE J517 standards mean
Josh Cosford returns to the Fluid Power Technology Conference (FPTC) once again to bring a technical deep dive with a bit of humor thrown in for attendees. At the Cleveland FPTC November 18-20, Cosford will present his latest talk, 100R2 Is not a Star Wars droid — find out what it and other SAE J517 […]
ULS.2 label printer allows color coding for hose storage and maintenance
The new ULS.2 label printer from UNIFLEX helps manufacturers of hose assemblies and repair workshops for hydraulic hoses to affix color-coded “BBD” labels on their workpieces so that the latter can be replaced in time before potential wear damages actually occur. Another benefit is that the manufacturer’s mark can be added as an advertising measure. […]
D.O.T.-approved push-in brass fittings
D.O.T.-approved push-in brass fittings from Polyconn are for use in many air-operated operations in vehicles, from air brake connections to gearshifts and windows and door locks to air operated seats and air horns. They are easy to use — simply push the fitting into the tubing for quick connection — no tools or loose parts […]
Hydraulic tube processing for agricultural engineering
In agriculture the production has gone from manual manufacturing to industrial production. What used to be processed with simple farm machinery is now at times highly automated and has to be done rationally. This does in fact apply to all areas of agriculture, from tractors to combine harvesters and driverless machines for many different applications, […]
D.O.T. pneumatic tubing for air brake systems
D.O.T. pneumatic tubing from Polyconn meets or exceeds relevant DOT and SAE J844 standards. This pneumatic tubing is made from Virgin Nylon 12 material with a double wall construction, nylon core, synthetic fiber braid, and nylon cover. It is ideal for use on vehicles for instrumentation and pneumatic accessories connected to the air brakes system. […]
What’s the difference between fittings and adapters?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Hydraulic fittings and adapters are often assumed to be the same. Any given technician installing components during plumbing will tend to use the verbiage familiar to him or her and will use the words interchangeably. Of course, they are not the same, or they wouldn’t be segregated as two words […]
Hydraulics with a twist: Swivel connections remove stress from hose routing
Designers of hydraulics circuits are typically tasked with ensuring that hose and connections are safe, efficient, leak free and easy to maintain. And it goes without saying that they need to be cost effective and last a long time. That’s readily accomplished when a properly sized hose is stationary and well protected yet easily accessible. […]
