From a fluid power design perspective, the circuit and subsequent major components take the majority of the focus. Actuators, valves, pumps and conditioning components rightfully take center stage, leaving accessory components out of the design stage and left for the technicians to worry about during fabrication. However, factoring all parts – no matter how insignificant […]
Thermoplastic hydraulic hose and fittings designed to work together
Late last year, Eaton launched the Synflex Optimum family of thermoplastic hydraulic hoses and fittings, designed to work together to improve hydraulic system performance, simplify assembly and optimize inventory. This was one of the key lines Eaton would have been exhibiting at IFPE 2020 earlier this month, but they pulled out due to concerns over […]
IFPE Download: Heat-shrink hose assembly sealing system prevents contamination
At IFPE 2020 this week, Ultra Clean Technologies is highlighting its Clean Seal System to protect cleaned hoses, tubes and pipes. The Clean Seal System heat-shrinks a Clean Seal Capsule tightly around assemblies and utilizes just 11 sizes for most needs. This eliminates possible re-contamination that is problematic with traditional capping and plugging methods. Re-contamination […]

NewAge Industries introduces phthalate-free Clearflo 70 tubing
New from plastic tubing manufacturer NewAge Industries is Clearflo 70 PVC tubing, a phthalate-free product. Clearflo 70 was developed in response to customers’ interest in fluid transfer products that do not contain leachable phthalates such as DEHP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) or BPA (bisphenol A). Some studies indicate that phthalates – chemicals used to make certain plastic […]
Environmentally friendly tabletop hydraulic hose cleaning device
Hydraulic systems demand the highest standards regarding the cleanliness of hose and pipe assemblies. However, abrasion during the cutting and crimping of hoses causes the formation of chips or scales, which must not be present, as specified in ISO 4406 and NAS 1638. Therefore, in addition to its hose crimpers, UNIFLEX also offers special cleaning […]
