The MegaSys MXG 4K hydraulic hose from Gates is qualified to one million impulse cycles, making it a lightweight, compact, highly flexible drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses. The Gates XtraTuff Plus cover, a standard upgrade on MXG 4K, offers improved abrasion and ozone resistance, providing improved durability when powering the most demanding fluid power applications. The MXG 4K is 40% more flexible than conventional spiral hoses, reducing the amount of force needed to properly route, allowing for faster and more ergonomic installation. It also is 30% lighter and 8% more compact, which improves equipment performance, material handling, installation and ergonomics, and an easier fit that also enables upsizing hose selection for increased power.
In a departure from conventional wisdom, motion control can be implemented to increase production rate and product quality and consistency—all at the same time.
