In this three-part series, the author will discuss how hose tubing and routing can simplify maintenance and reduce hose failure. By Mike P. Beining, Product Manager, Eaton The failure of high-pressure hydraulic hoses or tubing is responsible for high costs resulting from lost productivity, negative environmental effects, collateral damage and most importantly, safety. By using […]
Why should you model a hydraulic fluid transmission line?
When designing a hydraulic fluid conveyance system—whether it is pipe, hose or tube—it is important beforehand to model or simulate it to prevent power loss and determine its effect on the rest of the system. If modeling of a line is not completed, you are ignoring a lot of power losses that realistically are going […]
Why is minimum bend radius important for a hydraulic hose?
The minimum bend radius is an important guideline to be aware of when selecting a hydraulic hose. You need to be aware of any areas in your system where tight space constraints may cause hose to angle severely around a corner. As well, as a machine moves or a cylinder extends and retracts, the hoses […]
How to select the right hydraulic hose for your application
Choosing a hydraulic hose must be done with careful thought and consideration. Contributed by Carl Dyke, CD Industrial Group, Inc. With a new hydraulic machine design, or with a machine that has undergone a rebuild process, there comes the moment when it is time to specify and install the hoses that conduct fluid from point […]
Tubing vs. hose in mobile machinery
By Josh Cosford In this world, there are as many preferences as choices. Dark meat vs. white meat. Baths vs. showers. Wagons vs. SUVs. Every one of these choices is personal, and every one is inconsequential. You don’t care that Bob likes white meat and drives a Volvo station wagon. It’s his choice doesn’t matter […]
Cryoflex hydraulic hose offers flexibility in low temperatures
With a continuous service temperature of -57º C (-70º F), the new Cryoflex hose line from Manuli Hydraulics is suited for use in the most demanding low temperature situations. At temperatures where other hoses would rapidly begin to fail due to cracking of the rubber, Cryoflex’s incredibly low glass transition point allows it to maintain […]
GlobalCore 187 high performance hydraulic hose released
Parker Hannifin has introduced the 187 Hose, a 7MPa / 1,000 psi constant working pressure hose. 187 Hose is designed to provide maximum performance, flexibility, and hose life in demanding hydraulic applications across a variety of markets. As the only 1,000 psi constant working pressure hose on the market, 187 Hose is a revolutionary product […]
Gates acquires Atlas Hydraulics
Gates Corp. announced its acquisition of Atlas Hydraulics, a fully-integrated product engineering, manufacturing, and commercial business headquartered in Brantford, Ontario. With locations in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, the company specializes in the design, manufacture, and supply of hydraulic tube and hose assemblies. Established in 1979, Atlas Hydraulics is a desired partner to several major […]
How do you choose the proper hose assembly?
The new hydraulic hose assemblies should be chosen with consideration to their specific application. If you’re creating a new hose from scratch, you need to, say, lay it all out to decide what kind of hose you need. You may have seen this trusty acronym, STAMPED. Every letter stands for something. We have Size, Temperature, […]
Gates launches multi-purpose hose line
Gates Corp. has introduced a new multi-purpose hose line that serves the needs of three distinct markets: fuel transfer, hydraulic return and suction lines, and 20R5 coolant applications. The Multi Master SD MegaFlex line is the first-of-its-kind to simultaneously meet SAE 100R4, SAE J30R5, and SAE J20R5 requirements. It has a 1:1 bend radius, an […]
