Eaton expands steel adapter portfolio to offer more than 2,000 parts
Eaton has relaunched and expanded its steel adapter portfolio, with more than 2,000 part numbers. Standardised to fit almost any hydraulic fluid conveyance application, Eaton’s broad steel adapter portfolio spans many sizes and end connections.
The company says its steel adapters enable the highest performing hose assemblies for a wide range of industries, such as mining, oil and gas, renewable power, and transportation. When Eaton hoses and steel adapters are combined as a complete system, the resulting assemblies can support much higher operating pressures – up to 125 percent above Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards.
Eaton’s steel adapters also come with Dura-Kote plating as standard. This plating technology is said to offer up to 10 times better corrosion protection than SAE standards, preventing red rust for a minimum of 720 hours. As a result, Dura-Kote enables a longer in-application lifespan for Eaton’s steel adapters, as well as an improved appearance, no incompatibility issues, lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime and less chance of leakage. Additionally, Eaton’s steel adapters maintain a 4:1 safety factor across all configurations and sizes to protect both people and equipment.
“Our comprehensive steel adapter portfolio offers huge advantages for customers in EMEA,” comments Christian Kuenstel, product manager for connectors within Eaton EMEA. “We combine the proven ability to enable outstanding hose assembly performance with a wide range of designs that can meet varied application demands. Exceeding industry specifications for both operating pressures and corrosion resistance, our steel adapters can unlock much greater value for customers.”
