Most hydraulics engineers are well aware that proper hose routing often means accommodating machine motion without overly stressing the hose, or letting it rub and abrade against other hoses or machine components. Otherwise, hose can prematurely fail, resulting in leaks, machine damage, downtime, costly environmental contamination and, potentially, a hazard to nearby personnel. Swivel-type fittings […]
Push-lok hose installation tool installs straight and angled fittings
Koul Tools has received Patent US 9,878,429 for its new and improved EZ-ON Hose Press—the 409B. Lighter and more efficient, this new model features thrust and ball bearings for smoother operation, a new drive screw and larger nut for improved performance, and a traveling carriage with sealed bearings that rolls on a track for better […]
Hose assembly update from Gates Corp.
I recently chatted with Michael Haen, VP of Global Product Line Management, Fluid Power, for Gates Corp. about what’s new at the manufacturer of hydraulic hose assemblies and what they see is coming on the horizon in terms of technical updates. Mary Gannon: You just did a big expansion of your PRO series. Tell us […]
Parker introduces extreme-pressure hose
At this year’s Hannover Fair in Germany, Parker Hannifin announced that it has extended its hose product range with the introduction of R50TC/R56TC ParLock multispiral hoses. The hoses, available with four or six spiral steel-wire reinforcement, are suited for demanding dynamic applications with pressure ratings up to 56.0 MPa (8,122 psi). High-pressure performance, flexibility and […]
NAHAD’s strong growth continues
I spoke with Molly Mullins, EVP of NAHAD, at this week’s 35th Annual Convention at the Bellagio resort in Las Vegas. Mullins, who has been leading the organization for almost two years, shared her thoughts on some of NAHAD’s latest endeavors. FPW: One of the marks of your tenure so far seems to be a […]
NAHAD revamps its Hose Safety Institute training options
NAHAD has always been a leader in promoting hose safety in the industry. Its Hose Safety Institute Handbook has been used for years as a key resource in educating and on-boarding new staff in hose basics. So, it was no surprise at this year’s NAHAD Annual Meeting in Las Vegas this month that the organization […]
Hose assembly technologies at Fluid Power Technology Conference
Understanding fluid conveyance technologies is critical to safe hydraulic and pneumatic system design. This year’s Fluid Power Technology Conference, to be held at MSOE May 14-15, will highlight the importance of multi-connect and adapter, hose and tubing technologies, with presentations by CEJN and Tompkins. First up on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. will be CEJN’s […]
Rotating head hydraulic crimper for maintenance workshops
Designed specifically for maintenance workshops and on-site repairs, the MRB 137 EVO R is a compact, ergonomically designed crimping machine which features an adjustable head for maximum ease of use. The rotating crimping head can be positioned vertically, horizontally or any position in between thanks to its innovative design and tool-free locking mechanism. Suitable for 4 wire-spiral hoses up […]
