Stauff presents the soft-sealing cutting ring
New to the Stauff Connect product range and introduced for the first time at the Hanover Fair are FI-WDDS-type soft-sealing cutting rings, which compensate for settling effects in tube fittings, for example, from temperature fluctuations or from pressure pulse and vibration loads in a hydraulic system. With 24° tube connectors, 37° flared tube fittings and […]
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 […]
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 […]

What are hydraulic fittings used for?
Hydraulic fittings connect conductors such as hoses, pipes and tubes in a hydraulic system. Most fittings have a male and female component that join to form a connection. These connections help contain and direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the conductor while preventing leaks and maintaining pressure. Different fittings allow designers to change flow […]
