Hydraulic hoses, as an indispensable transmission medium in hydraulic systems, play a crucial role. It is not only a bridge for the smooth transmission of high-pressure liquid in complex mechanical structures, but also a key element to ensure the stable operation and efficient operation of the entire hydraulic system. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the use of hydraulic hoses and explore their advantages and disadvantages. 1、 Instructions for using hydraulic hoses Choose the appropriate hose When choosing hydraulic hoses, appropriate hoses, fittings, and hose assemblies should be selected based on the specific application scenario. The factors considered include the type, size, length, system operating pressure, fluid type, and usage environment of the hose. Ensure that the selected hose meets product standards and system requirements. Correctly install the hose When installing hoses, various joint components should be used correctly to avoid excessive bending or axial force on the hose, so as not to damage the connection between the hose and the joint. The starting point of the hose bending should be 1.5 times the diameter, and the bending radius during use should be greater than or equal to the minimum allowable bending radius of the hose. The length of the hose connecting the moving parts should not exceed the minimum allowable radius within its total range of motion, while avoiding the hose from bearing tensile stress. When the components connected to the hose move relative to each other, the hose should be bent in the same plane to avoid twisting. Regular inspection and maintenance Regularly inspect the wear, aging, and leakage of hydraulic hoses, and promptly replace hoses with severe wear. Ensure that the hose connection is well sealed to prevent hydraulic oil leakage. Regularly check the quality of hydraulic oil to ensure good sealing of the hydraulic system during use and avoid the formation of bubbles. 2、 Advantages of hydraulic hoses Flexibility and high pressure resistance performance Hydraulic hoses, with their unique flexibility, can easily adapt to various complex installation spaces and layout requirements. Meanwhile, it is reinforced internally with high-strength synthetic materials or metal woven layers, effectively resisting the impact and erosion of high-pressure liquids, ensuring the stability and safety of fluid transmission. Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant The outer layer of hydraulic hoses is usually coated with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which further enhances the service life of the hoses. Hydraulic hoses can still demonstrate excellent durability in humid, dusty, or corrosive environments. Lightweight and easy to install Hydraulic hoses are lightweight and easy to install, greatly reducing construction difficulty and maintenance costs. Meanwhile, its excellent bending performance and anti torsion strength enable the hose to easily adapt to various complex installation environments. 3、 Disadvantages of hydraulic hoses Easy to age and wear After long-term use, the material of hydraulic hoses will gradually age, causing the hoses to become hard, brittle, and prone to rupture. In addition, due to friction and vibration, the surface of the hose will gradually wear down, reducing the efficiency of the hydraulic system. Leakage risk Hydraulic hose connections or the hose itself may experience leakage, leading to a decrease in hydraulic system pressure and affecting the normal operation of the system. Meanwhile, leaking hydraulic oil may also contaminate the environment. High requirements for installation and maintenance The correct installation and maintenance of hydraulic hoses are crucial for their performance and service life. Improper installation or untimely maintenance may result in hose damage or system failure.
