What are hydraulic hose swivels?
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 […]
