GlobalSpiral Couplings Offer Inventory Reduction with No-Skive Convenience More than five years of engineering and testing went into the GlobalSpiral (GS) coupling design. In performance testing required by Gates OEM customers, GS couplings surpassed one million impulse cycles at +250F without stress cracks or failures. Both the stem and ferrule are machined from solid, unleaded steel bar stock for maximum strength. This enables GS couplings to handle working pressures up to 8, 000 psi. The no-skive ferrule eliminates the need for skiving equipment, as well as odors and dust created while removing the protective outer cover from the hose. Ferrules that require skiving are subject to blow-offs when skived improperly. Blow-offs and weeping at the hosecoupling interface also can result from failure to fully insert the stem during assembly. With the two-piece design of the GS coupling, it is possible to pull the ferrule down and check for full stem insertion. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingsglobalspiral-couplings#sthash.1DrHptDv.dpuf

Full-Torque Nut Couplings Are Stronger and More Durable Than Traditional Staked-Nut Fittings One of the most common causes of hydraulic leaks is a cracked coupling nut or seat due to over-torquing. Gates has engineered a solution - Full-Torque Nut technology now available on Gates MegaCrimp (wire-braid hoses) and GlobalSpiral couplings (spiral-wire hoses). Full-Torque Nut couplings are stronger and more durable than traditional staked-nut fittings. A large holding shoulder evenly distributes stress forces at the nut for higher resistance against cracking, even when inadvertently over-torqued. Increase productivity and equipment uptime, on the assembly line or in the field, by eliminating damaged couplings and unsightly leaks from too much torque. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingsfull-torque-nut-couplings#sthash.QzOk7tM0.dpuf
