Ferrules simplify hydraulic hose coupling connections
Gates Corp. has launched a new line of six ferrules to complement its GlobalSpiral couplings for use on its wire-braid hydraulic hoses. Using these new components can simplify machine design, replacing up to 143 wire-braid couplings, for reduced inventory, weight, and costs. The GlobalSpiral couplings were originally designed for use with just spiral-wire hydraulic hose. […]
Full-Torque Nut Couplings
Hydraulic leaks are a drain on budgets and system productivity, but a new generation of threaded couplings is ready to combat them. Available on MegaCrimp® couplings for wire-braid hose and GlobalSpiral® couplings for spiral-wire hose, Full-Torque Nut couplings round out the complete Gates hydraulic fitting line. Its many advantages include: •Stronger than staked-nut fittings •Patented design […]
