New Unispeed USDFL 24/37 ES 6/18 flaring and assembling machine is allows for comfortable pre-assembly of rigid tubes of 06-18 mm with tight bends. It allows easy preassembling operations of DIN2353 rings and, with the addition of a dedicated steel block, can also be used for 37° flaring of hydraulic tubes up to 18 mm […]
Crimpers
What is skiving, and when should you use it on your hose assemblies?
Skiving is removing the outer cover at the end of a hydraulic hose in the location of the crimp fitting. For some high-pressure applications, the hose’s inner tube ID may be skived to allow the hosetail to better fit. Using a specialized machine with externally rotating mandrels, the tooling cuts and then peels the outer […]
What measurements are required for hose assembly sizes?
With hydraulic hose assemblies, one should consider several measurements to ensure their correct size — ID (inner diameter), OD (outer diameter), and length. Inner diameter is the bore of the hose and the size of the orifice that the fluid has to travel through over a particular length. The OD of the hose could be […]
