How often do you drive by an excavator and see all those hydraulic components on the arm, wondering what exactly they are and what they do? Well, today we’re going to deconstruct and explain the essentials of these visible hydraulic hoses and their benefits.
We’ll simplify the complexities, making it easier for sales reps to understand and communicate the advantages of our products. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of the key products we offer and how they can help your clients achieve better performance and lower maintenance costs.
Let’s explore some of our standout products and their benefits.
Lubrication Circuits
The lubrication circuit is vital for keeping the excavator’s moving parts well-oiled and functioning smoothly. In this section of the excavator, you’ll find the Synflex Optimum 3TR7-02, 3TR7-03 Hose. Why? Because this thermoplastic hose offers several advantages over traditional rubber hoses.
Synflex Optimum 3TR7-02, 3TR7-03 Hose
Our Synflex Optimum thermoplastic hoses are engineered for SAE 100R7 performance. Here’s why they stand out:
– Lightweight: Up to 50% lighter than traditional rubber hoses, making them easier to handle and install.
– Durable: The polyurethane cover offers up to three times the abrasion resistance compared to competitive rubber hoses.
– Easy Routing: The reformulated nonstick cover reduces routing force by 50%, simplifying installation.
– Longevity: These hoses have an unlimited shelf life prior to use.
– Less Maintenance: Thermoplastic construction ensures no degradation or creation of contaminants.
– Efficiency: Fewer leak points mean reduced costs, less tangling, and lower noise and vibration levels.
Boom and Bucket Cylinder Circuit
The boom and bucket cylinder circuit is the powerhouse behind the excavator’s lifting and digging capabilities. Think of it as the muscle that moves the arm and bucket of the excavator. Here, you’ll find hoses like the Weatherhead H280, Weatherhead H430, and Weatherhead H464. Why? Because they provide exceptional flexibility, durability, and temperature resistance necessary for these critical movements.
Our Weatherhead H280 Hose is renowned for its exceptional flexibility and temperature resistance. Here’s what makes it special:
– Longevity: With 300,000 qualified impulse cycles, it offers 50% more impulse life than the standard.
– Flexibility: Provides 35% greater flexibility than specified, making installation faster and more cost-efficient.
– Temperature Tolerance: 26% wider temperature ranges and superior bend radius enhance performance.
– Durability: The Dura-Tuff® cover offers eight times better abrasion resistance.
– Leakage Prevention: Paired with Danfoss 1A series fittings, it ensures Class 0 leakage.
For those demanding high performance, the Weatherhead H430 Hose is an excellent choice:
– Impulse Life: Tested up to 1 million impulse cycles, doubling the standard.
– Pressure Performance: Exceeds multiple industry standards with better pressure ratings and bend radii.
– Abrasion Resistance: Features a Dura-Tuff® cover that provides eight times higher abrasion resistance.
– Versatility: High-pressure ratings enable use in a wide range of hydraulic systems.
Boom Attachment Circuit
The boom attachment circuit is where the excavator’s arm connects to various attachments, making it versatile for different jobs. Here, you’ll encounter the Danfoss Hansen Flat Face Quick Disconnect Couplings. Why? They offer superior performance at high pressures and are designed to prevent fluid loss during connect and disconnect operations.
Flat Face Quick Disconnect Couplings
Danfoss Hansen flat face quick disconnect couplings provide superior performance for high-pressure applications:
– No-Spill Design: Prevents fluid loss during connection and disconnection.
– Corrosion Resistance: Up to 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance thanks to its Dura-kote® plating.
– Efficiency: High flow rates and lower pressure drops enhance equipment performance and fuel efficiency.
