Los accesorios para mangueras hidráulicas son fundamentales en los sistemas hidráulicos., conectar mangueras a varios puertos de fluido, como bombas, válvulas y actuadores. Entre estos accesorios, accesorios de manguera reutilizables, También conocidos como accesorios hidráulicos acoplables en campo., destacan por su practicidad y flexibilidad.
¿Por qué elegir accesorios para mangueras reutilizables??
Fácil de instalar: Unlike permanently crimped fittings, reusable hose fittings screw onto the hose and its reinforcement without the need for crimping tools. This feature allows for much easier installation in the field, even without specialised equipment.
Flexibility and reusability: These fittings can be removed and re-used many times. This feature makes them particularly suitable for applications where hoses require regular maintenance or frequent replacement. Their ability to be easily removed and reused minimises downtime and reduces replacement costs.
Versatility: Reusable hose fittings are compatible with a wide range of hoses of different diameters or materials. They are available in a variety of styles, such as push-lock, barbed and compression fittings, providing options to meet specific application needs. They are also available in a range of materials including brass and stainless steel, ideal for corrosive environments.
Application considerations
While reusable hose fittings offer many benefits, there are critical issues to consider:
Proper installation: Careful installation and proper torque application are essential. Improper installation can result in leaks or, worse, the hose end coming off under pressure. Conversely, overtightening can weaken the hose and compromise the integrity of the fitting.
Compatibility: When selecting a hydraulic hose, make sure it’s compatible with the size range of the fitting assembly and suitable for the specific application. Por ejemplo, in high temperature environments, a hose designed for these conditions is essential.
Connection mechanism: Unlike crimp fittings, which bite into the hose, reusable hose ends work differently. The barb on these fittings has a larger internal diameter than crimped versions. As the barb is tightened into the threaded sleeve, it compresses outwards onto the hose, securing the assembly in place.
Conclusion
In summary, reusable hose fittings are an excellent choice for applications that require regular hose maintenance or replacement. Their ease of installation, flexibility and reusability make them a cost-effective and versatile solution. Sin embargo, it’s important to ensure proper installation and select the right hose for your system’s specific needs.
With these points in mind, reusable hose fittings can significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of your hydraulic system.
