Gates Australia says it is redefining high-pressure hydraulic performance with the introduction to the New Zealand market of the MegaSysMXG4K hydraulic hose. Qualified to one million impulse cycles, this highly differentiated hose is a lightweight, compact, highly flexible drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses, says the manufacturer. Gates XtraTuffPlus cover, a standard upgrade on MXG 4K, offers improved abrasion and ozone resistance, providing improved durability when powering the most demanding fluid power applications.
Tested under the same conditions as the company’s EFG4K MegaSpiralhose, Gates says MXG 4K offers:
• Ultimate Flexibility: MXG 4K is 40 percent more flexible than conventional spiral hoses, reducing the amount of force needed to properly route, allowing for faster and more ergonomic installation.
• Unrivalled Weight Reduction: At 30 percent lighter weight, MXG 4K improves equipment performance, material handling, installation and ergonomics.
• Compact Design: MXG 4K is on average eight percent more compact, providing an easier fit that also enables upsizing hose selection for increased power.
Extreme Durability and High Temperature Performance: MXG 4K exceeds industry standards for bend radius and impulse life, performing to one million impulse cycles at high temperatures (121º C/250º F).
Abrasion and Ozone Resistance to Battle External Factors: The XtraTuff Plus cover, delivered standard on MXG 4K, is engineered to be 25 times more abrasion resistant than Gates’ standard cover and also provides enhanced ozone resistance, passing a rigorous 800-hour ozone test.
“Truly a multi-use hose, MXG 4K serves smaller and more congested hydraulic systems, helping to improve assembly line speeds and achieve tight routings, while delivering additional abrasion resistance and ozone protection,” said Cindy Cookson, director of global product line management for hydraulics. “MXG 4K provides our OEM clients and distributors, and ultimately the end user, with a new, innovative technology that has the ability to improve equipment performance and overall output while reducing warranty and repairs.”
MXG 4K is compliant with and exceeds ISO 18752 280DC and SAE 100R19 requirements, exceeds performance criteria of SAE 100R12, EN 856 R12, and ISO 3862 R12; size 16 and also exceeds EN 856 4SP ratings. Also, importantly MXG4K is also MHSA, FRAS and MDG41 certified.
MXG 4K is now available for order.
