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 […]

igus’ E2 hydraulic chain securely guides hydraulic hoses in small spaces
igus has introduced a new E2 hydraulic chain that serves as an energy and media guide even for small installation spaces on support legs. Strong, space-saving and easy-to-install, the igus e-chain guides two hydraulic hoses in addition to power and control cables. The E2 hydraulic chain is an ideal solution for special mechanical engineering, and […]
GoldenCrimp 420 assembly machines for tough environments
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. […]
