Thermoplastic hydraulic hoses are used in certain hydraulic control applications where low volumetric expansion properties are desired for more precise actions or control. Such applications include those for precision gauging, pilot lines, steering lines, grease systems, as well as other applications which cannot be subject to conductivity (use around power lines) or where moisture cannot be present, such as for spray foam. As with "rubber" hydraulic hose, not all brands of thermoplastic hydraulic hoses are built the same even though they may meet the same SAE specifications. Higher end brand hoses will typically be made to higher tolerances, better compounds, better resistance to various factors, added durability, enhanced engineering methods, and additional assurance of a proven system. With leading, innovative manufacturers such as Aeroquip, the market has seen improvements in hose design - such as more flexibility, lighter weight, higher temperature compounds, tougher covers, less manufacturing defects, and overall more durable products.
ΕΑΤΟΝ SYNFLEX® thermoplastic hose and tubing has been replacing rubber hose or metal tubing designs offering customers a number of benefits, including flexibility, durability, abrasion resistance, lighter weight materials, superior chemical resistance, variety of colors, high pressure capability and extended product performance.
Each component of the SYNFLEX® hose assembly system is compatible with other approved Eaton components to which it relates ensuring a complete hose assembly system. Component compatibility, along with the use of quality components, insures the production of reliable hose assemblies when properly assembled. Intermixing of fittings and hose not specifically engineered and designed for use with each other and Eaton equipment is not recommended and may result in the production of unsafe or unreliable hose assemblies. This can result in hose assembly leakage, hose separation or other failures which can cause serious bodily injury or property damage from spraying fluids, flying projectiles, or other substances. The ΕΑΤΟΝ warranty is limited to apply only when approved ΕΑΤΟΝ hose fittings and compatible ΕΑΤΟΝ SYNFLEX® hose are used with Eaton assembly equipment.
Hoses are priced and sold by the foot unless otherwise specified. Fittings can be separately purchased in pieces.
