Hose range boasts excellent flexibility

Parker Hannifin is making its customers' lives even easier through the harmonisation of its medium-pressure one- and two-wire braided hose range.

Parker Hannifin reckons it is making its customers' lives even easier through the harmonisation of its medium-pressure one- and two-wire braided hose range Consolidating its offering from 41 hoses and six fitting types, Parker has launched a new medium pressure range, which will address all major applications with just 18 hoses and one fitting series

The entire range meets or exceeds the requirements laid down by EN853(SN), EN857(SC) and SAE100R16; offering higher abrasion resistance and higher pressure ratings.

As part of this new offering, Parker has introduced its new Elite range, a significant addition to its broad portfolio, which exhibits a number of core functional attributes that will make it suitable for a huge variety of applications.

Longer service life is also on the cards thanks to advanced polymer research undertaken by Parker.

This research has resulted in the implementation of a high quality nitrile inner tube - for greater fluid compatibility - and upgraded cover compounds for great protection from environmental conditions.

Parker has also considered the needs of system specifiers and builders.

It has undertaken numerous rigorous testing regimes in order to validate different hose and fitting combinations.

This, as well as offering users better peace of mind, also presents them with a single, reliable source of supply that can offer proven product synergy for all of their fluid handling requirements.

The hoses offer excellent flexibility and can deliver tight bending radii for applications where space and working envelopes are major considerations.

With a temperature range of between -50 and 100C these No-Skive hoses can operate in extreme engineering environments; and variants such as the Super Tough (ST) range can survive for greater than 1 million abrasion test cycles in accordance with ISO6945.

The hoses come in a variety of guises that include different layers, single and twin configurations, different polymer coverings and inner tubes as well as ones tailored to specific applications, environments and fluids.

The full range is complemented by the company's Parkrimp No-Skive assembly system that will allow users to create safe, reliable, leak-free assemblies with the minimum of fuss and time.

Typical applications for the Elite range include construction equipment, transportation, marine, agriculture, forestry equipment, materials handling and injection moulding machinery.

Full datasheets offering all functional criteria and application ideas are available to help users choose the optimum product for their application. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
