What is rubber hydraulic hose?
Rubber hydraulic hose is a common and important element in countless industrial and mobile machines. It serves as the plumbing that routes hydraulic fluid between tanks, pumps, valves, cylinders and other fluid-power components. Plus, hose is generally straightforward to route and install, and it absorbs vibration and dampens noise. Hose assemblies—hose with couplings attached to […]
High temperature hydraulic hose
Intertraco’s one wire braid high temperature hose is used for both mineral and biological hydraulic oils, polyglicol based oils, water-oil emulsions and water. For hydraulic oils, the hose can contain fluids with temperatures from -40° to 275° F (-40° C to 135° C), and occasionally peaks up to 302° F (150° C). For polyglicol based […]
Oil-resistant hose with shorter bend radius
Kurt Hydraulics new E-Z Bend Hose has half the bend radius of standard hose for easier routing and more space savings. Providing both greater flexibility and strength, E-Z Bend hose is suited for compact applications requiring hydraulic hose with tight bend radius using minimal installation force. Ideal for high-pressure hydraulic oil lines in mobile hydraulic […]
