GH507-20 - New Eaton 4-Wire Hose Matches 6-Wire Hose Performance

A new 4-spiral wire hydraulic hose that matches the performance of 6-wire hose alternatives has been introduced by Eaton Hydraulics Group to its Aeroquip range. Benefits offered by the new hose are lighter weight, greater flexibility permitting easier installation, reduced space requirement and lower cost compared to a 6SP hose.

The new hose, GH507-20, meets SAE100R15 requirements and is ideal for construction machinery, cranes, farm machines and static plant. It has a maximum working pressure of 420 bar (6,000 psi) for up to 500,000 impulse cycles, previously the domain of the 6SP hose. It supplied can be supplied in a range of different lengths with any of the current ISC (Internal Skive Crimp) fittings. A new compatible socket (1WC20) is also available.

“The new 4-wire GH507-20 hose gives engineers increased flexibility in design options,” said Kristin Fiolka, product manager EMEA. “It is yet another example of Eaton’s in-house ability to design and match product to customers and markets by satisfy performance demands.”

Eaton’s Aeroquip hose range covers: working pressures up to 420 bar, temperatures from
-55ºC to 150ºC, high abrasion resistance, resistance to aggressive media, high levels of flex impulse cycles (2 million) and for use with ‘reusable’ or TTC fittings.
