MegaSys MXG 5K hydraulic hose is light-weight, flexible and durable

October 19, 2021 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Gates has introduced its latest breakthrough hydraulic hose, the MegaSys MXG 5K, which is lighter, more flexible and more durable than a typical 5,000 psi (350 bar) hydraulic hose.

“Our ongoing commitment to research and development has resulted in another world-first innovation from Gates. MXG 5K sets a new standard for hydraulic hose,” said Mike Haen, vice president, industrial global product line management. “Combining industry-leading impulse cycle performance at these hydraulic pressures, with the XtraTuff Plus (XTP) cover and the weight and flexibility advantages, delivers a hydraulic solution for the most demanding applications. Nothing else on the market matches MXG 5K.”

MXG 5K can be used as a design-in option or replacement hose solution across a wide variety of industries, including injection molding, heavy manufacturing equipment, mining, forestry, construction, agriculture and logistics, among others. Tested to one million impulse cycles at 250° F (121° C), twice the legacy industry standard for spiral hoses, and with a bend radius that is also 50% of the industry standard, MXG 5K offers truly unparalleled performance.

Equipped with Gates’ XTP cover as a standard offering, MXG 5K also offers 25 times the abrasion resistance of Gates’ standard cover and more than 800 hours of ozone resistance to minimize downtime related to environmental conditions. As a result, MXG 5K will last longer in the factory or field, including applications in the most extreme conditions.

Available globally, experience unparalleled performance with MXG 5K, wherever Gates hydraulic products are sold. MXG 5K exceeds performance criteria of ISO 18752 350DC as well as the R13 specs within SAE, EN and ISO standards, and is compatible with Gates GS GlobalSpiral couplings as well as all Gates crimpers. Combine Gates MegaSys MXT, MXT-XTP, MXG 4K, MXG 5K and Multi Master GMV MegaFlex as a full portfolio to improve weight, flexibility and performance across applications.
