PTFE hose is useful for almost all problem applications, including hydraulic fluids, steam, solvents, fuels, and chemicals. It is vibration-absorbent, has an extra-long shelf life, and high temperature and pressure ranges. Features: construction is braided outer cover tube is a PTFE inner tube cover is stainless steel (type 304) temperature range from -65° to 450° […]
6 tips for safe and effective hose maintenance
Even with proper selection and installation, hose life may be significantly reduced without a continuing maintenance program. The severity of the application, risk potential from a possible hose failure, and experience with any hose failures in the application or in similar applications should determine the frequency of the inspection and the replacement for the products […]
New GoldenCrimp 420 is designed for harsh environments and high crimping force
Developed after many years’ experience in some of the worlds’ toughest mining workshops, the GoldenCrimp 420 from Manuli Hydraulics sets new standards for resilience and reliability while offering the performance and adaptability that is vital in modern hose assembly operations. Its robust design is ideal for transport and operation in harsh environments such as open-pit […]
No-skive 2-wire braided hose
Premier line of no-skive 2-wire braided hose by Vitillo is suitable for use in construction equipment, has 30% higher working pressure than specified in EN587 Standard. Smaller bending radius and reduced outside diameter provides a significant advantage in terms of space and weight on compact mobile machinery. High-impulse resistance is double that of EN Standard, […]
10 tips for easy hydraulic hose design and maintenance
In part 2 of this three-part series, the author will discuss how hose tubing and routing can simplify maintenance and reduce hose failure. Read part one here. By Mike P. Beining, Product Manager, Eaton To correctly route and properly install fluid conveying components during a machine prototyping, follow these 10 general rules. These guidelines are […]
Maximizing equipment efficiency through proper hose and tubing routing
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 […]
