Gates has products engineered to work seamlessly together, reducing the risk of errors during assembly. Our system approach allows these components to connect and seal smoothly, no matter the application, while advanced geometry in the design ensures seamless integration across a wide range of pressures and environments. This dedication to a holistic engineering approach makes Gates couplings a benchmark in hydraulic innovation.
Hydraulic system failures can be more than just an inconvenience — they can lead to dangerous leaks, bursts, and accidents that put workers and the environment at risk. That’s where MegaCrimp and GlobalSpiral step in.
These solutions aren’t just high-quality; they’re designed to provide secure, foolproof connections that prevent leaks and failures before they start. By choosing Gates, you're not just investing in top-notch equipment; you’re making a commitment to protect your team, safeguard the environment, and uphold the highest safety standards.
The hose-coupling interface is crucial for making sure assemblies work well and keep everyone safe. That's why our commitment to weep-free hydraulic hose connections goes above and beyond industry standards to provide our customers with the best in patented technology. The C-insert and TuffCoat™ plating work together to ensure your assembly gets connected and stays connected.
In an assembly shop, throughput is everything. No-skive solutions allow for fast, tailor made assemblies that also reduce labor, dust, fabrication errors, and contamination of the fluid power system. Save time on each assembly with the innovative two-piece, no-skive design of Gates GlobalSpiral couplings.
Explore the wide range of hydraulic coupling solutions from Gates. Between the one-piece simplicity of MegaCrimp and no-skive benefits of GlobalSpiral, we've got you covered.
Gates tough and ready coupling solutions are helping drive industry forward. See for yourself how we can help your business get ahead — and stay ahead.
What are hydraulic couplings and why are they important?
Hydraulic couplings are components used to connect hoses to other hydraulic system components like pumps, cylinders, and valves. They are essential because they allow the efficient transfer of hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
How do I choose the right hydraulic coupling for my system?
Choosing the right hydraulic coupling depends on several factors including the type of hydraulic system, the pressure and temperature requirements, the type of fluid used, and the compatibility with the hose and fittings.
What are the common types of hydraulic couplings?
Common types of hydraulic couplings include crimped couplings, reusable couplings, quick-connect couplings, and threaded couplings.
What are the signs that a hydraulic coupling needs to be replaced?
Signs that a hydraulic coupling needs to be replaced include visible wear or damage, significant corrosion, leaks, difficulty in connecting or disconnecting, and reduced system performance.
What should I do if a hydraulic coupling fails?
If a hydraulic coupling fails, shut down the system immediately to prevent damage or injury. Inspect the coupling for the cause of failure, such as improper installation, incompatible components, or material fatigue. Replace the failed coupling with a suitable replacement and ensure proper installation before restarting the system.
