Gates achieves the requirements of
high-powered, high-pressure hydraulics
with its MegaSys line of engineered and
matched hydraulic hose and couplings. As part
of an integrated solution, the MegaSys products
offer peak performance and flexibility with
enhanced durability
Gates MegaSys spiral-wire hose is constructed
of up to six alternating layers of spiraled, high
tensile steel, designed and tested to an industryleading
1 million impulse cycles with working
temperatures of -40°C to +121°C.
MegaSys wire-braid constant pressure hose is
constructed of up to two braids of high-tensile
steel wire, designed and tested to an industryleading
600,000 impulse cycles with working
temperature of -40°C to +100°C.
Hoses utilise a synthetic rubber nitrile tube that
is compatible with biodegradable hydraulic fluids,
and are available with Gates abrasion resistant
XtraTuff cover (25 times abrasion resistance over
standard covers) or MegaTuff cover (300 times
abrasion resistance over standard covers) for
extra reliability and safety.
Gates MegaSys hoses have colour-coded lay
lines and pressure ratings through all sizes,
making the hoses easier to identify in stock and
in service while reducing inventory requirements.
The lay line indicates hose trade name, size and
pressure; SAE, EN or DIN standard; and US MSHA
flame resistance compliance.
It is important when selecting hydraulic hose
and couplings that the hose and couplings have
been engineered and designed to work together,
ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.
Mixing and matching of different hydraulic hoses
and couplings can lead to reduced lifespan and
susceptibility to breakdown, which not only costs
time and money but can be a major safety factor.
Gates engineered coupling designs are available
as Gates MegaCrimp coupling for one- and twowire
braid hydraulic hoses and Gates GlobalSpiral
couplings for all Gates MegaSys four- and
six-spiral wire hoses up to 8,000 psi. Corrosionresistant
TuffCoat plating is standard on both
couplings.
