Hydraulic Products

We offer a full range of Hydraulic products. Below is a sample of what we supply – if you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact us.

Hose

Throughout the years, The Gates Rubber Company has played a key role in the creation and development of high quality products.

In the early 1940s, Gates entered the hydraulic market as a supplier of bulk hose to meet the domestic and military machinery needs.

Today, the Gates Hydraulic market continues to grow both domestically and internationally offering a wide range of hydraulic products such as the new MegaSys® line of hydraulic products featured below.

MegaSys® Hoses

MegaSys has a new generation of hydraulic hose that offers maximum flexibility and leak prevention on heavy-duty applications, regardless of pressure. The line consists of five hoses that can be bent to one-half the SAE spec, thus saving overall hose assembly length and reducing costs by as much as 47%.

Engineers and end users can now use Gates extra-flexible hoses for complete hydraulic systems. From extremely high pressure to low pressure lines, Gates has them all, and all with half the SAE bend radius.

Gates MegaSys hoses run circles around the competition. Here are just some of the advantages of MegaSys hoses:

Reduces hose length requirements up to 47%
Flexibility allows routing in small places
Tight bend radius reduces the need for bent hydraulic fittings
Plumbs and bends easier than conventional hoses

MegaSpiral®

Gates hydraulic hose programme for ultrahigh-pressure applications. MegaSpiral® stands for more convenience and more cleanliness in manufacturing OE-equivalent assemblies on site. The performance characteristics of MegaSpiral® assemblies have been proven in laboratory tests of up to 1 million impulse cycles at 133% working pressure. The MegaSpiral® very high-pressure spiral wire reinforced hoses are capable of working pressures up to 445 bar and meet or exceed DIN and SAE pressure requirements.

Hose Coupling

The range of hose couplings are available in three main series; Swage, Reusable and Push-On.

The Swage Series is designed as a combination tail suitable for use with all hose types including G6K and R14. Simply select the ferrule type to match the relevant hose.

The Reusuable Series is designed for use with 1 and 2 wire braid hose in both skive and non-skive form. The Reusuable body is selected to match the relevant hose.
N.B.

Swage and Reusuable Tails should only be used with the Ferrules and Bodies as specified.

The Push-on Series are primarily designed for use with low pressure hose such as SAE100 R6 or equivalent. Use of hoseclips with this series will cause premature hose liner damage.

Thread Forms and Sealing Methods are manufactured to the relevant International Standards where applicable.

Stainless Steel Fittings

Manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel, the product series listed in this section are recommended for use in marine, food or corrosive applications.

The end styles, thread forms and sealing faces, are manufactured to the relevant international standards where applicable. The product series listed comprises a base range only, other swage tails, adaptors and re-usable fittings are available on application.

The listed range of fittings can be complemented by the range of Stainless Steel quick action couplers, tube, tube fittings and tube clamps with Stainless Steel hardware to form a total corrosion resistant plumbing package.

More

Adaptors

The Adaptor range is designed to provide the hydraulic systems designer with a wide range of thread options and combinations when used in conjunction with the range of hose tails.

Adaptors are designed and manufactured to conform with the functional requirements specified in the relevant International Standards. However it should be noted that the envelope dimensions given in this catalogue are for reference only. Dimensions may vary from those catalogued or specified in the standards due to product changes, varying tolerances and variation in manufacturing methods.

Adaptors are normally manufactured from high quality steel and are finished with a passivated zinc finish. Other material types are available on request.
For adaptor types not listed in the master listings please contact Wallace & Cooper’s for further information or special product design.

Quick Release Coupling

Faster® has had more than forty-five years experience in the hydraulic sector and today has the widest selection of quick-action couplings for middle, high and very high pressure: 24 different lines, interchangeable with more than 2000 types of couplings. FASTER® products are interchangeable with the most widely used couplings on the market.

Quick action couplings are primarily designed to allow quick and easy connection/disconnection of fluid transfer lines.  The installation of Quick Action Couplings in fluid systems can eliminate the need to close valves, recharge and bleed the system as well as minimsing fluid loss whenever a component or attachment is removed or fitted to the system.  The ability of some Quick Action Couplings to rotate is also of benefit for relieving torsional stress on hose assemblies.

N.B. Quick Action Couplings are NOT designed for use as constant rotation unions. Swivel unions should be used for this function.

The following questions should be considered to ensure the correct coupling is selected for the application.

  • What functions are required of the coupling?
  • What is the fluid flow rate required?
  • What is the system pressure – include spike pressures?
  • What is the allowable pressure drop at required flow rate?
  • Does the coupling need to be connected/disconnected under pressure?
  • What fluid is being used?
  • Is minimum fluid loss or air inclusion critical?
  • Does the coupling need to interchange with existing units?
