Fittings / Couplings

Flange coupling offers higher torques for mobile machinery in same size

March 11, 2019 By Mary Gannon

KTR-hydraulic-engine flange coupling

For hydrostatic drives in construction and agricultural machines, I. C.-engines and hydraulic pumps are directly coupled. Both units are connected by a flange coupling. This connection must meet a number of requirements — although primarily it must transmit the power reliably, enabling the machine to perform the pending operations as requested. This is done via […]

Hydraulic fittings and flanges in mobile equipment

February 27, 2014 By Mary Gannon

BRN-GroupShot-fittings-and-flanges TH

By Josh Cosford Few, if any, fluid power applications would exist without a method to join the “non-standardized standards” of the plumbing requirements of the components in a system. Like an evolved species of the same genus, separated through generations and geography, the long-lost cousins constituting the fittings family tree are as varied as any […]
