Hydraulic hose assemblies rarely operate in controlled, protected environments. Rather, rough and demanding conditions are the norm. Thus, hose is often exposed to flying debris in mobile equipment and the likes of weld spatter and hot metal chips—or even the errant lift truck—in industrial settings. Add to that, hoses subjected to continuous movement and machine […]
Kuriyama launches Alfabiotech Supertuff hydraulic hose for extreme applications
Kuriyama’s new Alfabiotech Supertuff series of hydraulic hose by Alfagomma is extremely flexible and offers up to 50% better bend radius compared to SAE 100R. The synthetic rubber tube material is oil resistant and compatible with biodegradable hydraulic fluids. Depending on the type selected, it is available with four or six high tensile steel wire […]
Hydraulic hose at IFPE 2017
The upcoming IFPE show, in Las Vegas from March 7-11, will allow fluid power designers to see the latest in hydraulic hose. Read on to see what types of hydraulic hose are used in mobile machinery, as well as a listing of what IFPE booths you can visit for more information on them. All hydraulic systems […]
What is nonconductive hose?
Engineers and technicians specifying hoses for hydraulic circuits routinely consider factors like pressure ratings and flow capacity. But in some instances, electrical shock is a potential risk to equipment and operators, and that demands hydraulic hoses that ensure safety when machines operate near high-voltage sources like power lines. Thus, nonconductive hydraulic hoses are recommended for […]
Brass fittings from Anderson Metals are suitable for a variety of harsh environments
Although not one of the most common fittings used in fluid power applications, brass fittings are extremely useful in corrosive environments for both hydraulic and pneumatic hose and tubing applications. Anderson Metals offers a variety of fittings, including 45° flare fittings, pipe fittings, and push-on hose barbs for a wide range of temperatures. The SAE 45° flare […]
What is a thermoplastic hydraulic hose?
Thermoplastic hoses are common in both mobile and industrial equipment, and they are widely used in medium-to-high pressure hydraulic applications. Related products are often specified for handling compressed air and other gases, transporting chemicals, and in water-cleaning and paint-spray operations. Like its rubber counterpart, thermoplastic hydraulic hose typically has an inner tube, one or more […]
IFPE 2017 releases updated overview map of show layout
IFPE, the triennial fluid power mega-show that’s 39 days away, has released an updated map showcasing the event’s place amongst the larger co-located shows, CONEXPO and CON/AGG. As in previous years, the IFPE exhibitors will be centered in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall 3 and 4 locations, which are both located on the […]
What is rubber hydraulic hose?
Rubber hydraulic hose is a common and important element in countless industrial and mobile machines. It serves as the plumbing that routes hydraulic fluid between tanks, pumps, valves, cylinders and other fluid-power components. Plus, hose is generally straightforward to route and install, and it absorbs vibration and dampens noise. Hose assemblies—hose with couplings attached to […]
NewAge Industries teaches students about manufacturing careers
On Tuesday, December 13, plastic tubing manufacturer NewAge Industries welcomed several students and teachers from Neil A. Armstrong Middle School, located in Fairless Hills, Pa. The students made the trip to NewAge to learn about careers in manufacturing and to film their visit as part of a contest. The annual contest, produced by Dream It. […]
How do you measure threads on a hydraulic fitting?
Before you select a hydraulic fitting, you must first determine if its threads will match the hose you have selected. Measuring and identifying the fittings is easily done but you must have the correct tools. These tools include ID/OD calipers and thread pitch gauges. Using the thread pitch gauge, as seen in Figure 1, simply […]
