Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton's Hydraulics Group announced that its Aeroquip® MatchMate Global braided hose products have been re-engineered to provide significantly higher working pressures and temperature ratings along with covers offering superior abrasion resistance. Included in the enhanced product offering are the popular Aeroquip® GH120, GH663, GH781, GH793 hose products.

Eaton’s Aeroquip® MatchMate Global GH120 hose exceeds Society of Automotive Engineers 100R16 specifications; GH663 and GH793 hoses exceed European Norm 1SN/2SN EN 853 standards; GH781 hose exceeds 2SC EN 857 standards.

“The new MatchMate Global products have an average 29 percent higher pressure rating than the most popular brands of directly comparable competitive hoses,” said Alexandra Benz, EMEA product manager – braided hoses for Eaton’s Hydraulics Operation. “Individual products outperform the competition by as much as 70 percent. And that’s with a 127°C temperature rating as well. The more abrasion-resistant cover technology offered on MatchMate Global hoses is also an important feature. More than half of all hose failures we see can be attributed directly to cover abrasion.”

Eaton has combined a number of different factors, including best practices from recent acquisitions, strategic supplier relationships, advanced engineering technologies, and state-of-the-art manufacturing and quality methodologies to achieve significant performance enhancements in these products.
