Gates Corporation has expanded and re-engineered its MegaSys® product line to now include nine constant-pressure hydraulic hoses that have the smallest bend radius of any SAE-equivalent hose in the industry. The Gates spiral-wire and wire-braid hoses can be bent up to one-third the SAE specification, thereby saving overall hose assembly length and cost by as much as 64 percent. This flexibility also means that Gates MegaSys hoses are easier to handle, and can be routed in tighter spaces during installation, thus reducing downtime.
Two leak-free fitting designs are available: Gates MegaCrimp® couplings for one- and two-wire braid hydraulic hoses, and GlobalSpiral™ couplings for all Gates MegaSys four- and six-spiral wire hoses up to 8,000 psi. Corrosion-resistant TuffCoat™ plating comes standard.
Gates MegaSys hoses are also available with either MegaTuff® or XtraTuff™ hose covers that outperform all other standard abrasion-resistant hose materials on the market today. Special engineering provides up to 300 times the abrasion resistance of rubber hose covers. To make the nine MegaSys hoses easier to identify in stock or in service, each features a distinctive, color-coded layline that indicates the hose trade name, size and pressure rating, SAE, EN or DIN standard, and MSHA flame-resistance compliance.- smallest bend radius of any SAE-equivalent hose
