What are hydraulic hose swivels?

June 19, 2019 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

Stauff-hydraulic-hose-swivels-feature

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 […]

Will tapered thread fittings work in my hydraulic system?

January 17, 2019 By Mary Gannon 2 Comments

Parallel threads on a hydraulic fitting are best

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 […]
