Color Connect avoids hose-routing mistakes
Machine builders and maintenance technicians must ensure that hoses are properly secured to the correct connection. Unfortunately, when dealing with multiple hoses on a complicated machine, personnel can waste a lot of time just identifying the proper routing and mating ends. Worse, there can be equipment damage due to incorrect connections or, in the case […]
Environmentally friendly tabletop hydraulic hose cleaning device
Hydraulic systems demand the highest standards regarding the cleanliness of hose and pipe assemblies. However, abrasion during the cutting and crimping of hoses causes the formation of chips or scales, which must not be present, as specified in ISO 4406 and NAS 1638. Therefore, in addition to its hose crimpers, UNIFLEX also offers special cleaning […]
Composite DOT fittings for pneumatic D.O.T. SAE J844 tubing
Composite D.O.T. push-in fitting from Poyconn are designed for use with the company’s pneumatic D.O.T. SAE J844 tubing. Their bodies are made of composite while the threaded head sections are made of brass. These fittings are rated for pressures from 0 to 145 psi and for temperatures from –40 to 140° F or –40 to […]

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, […]
