Gates wants to remind machine operators that its X-Series Hydraulic Hoses are designed for the high impact demands of the coming season
A product of Gates materials science expertise, Gates MegaSys™ X-Series hydraulic hoses are engineered to deliver mission-critical performance in demanding and tough agriculture equipment applications.
Gates product development teams have created innovative new products that deliver in four core areas of less weight, easier installation, advanced performance and streamlined selection.
Behind the Gates design for these X-Series hydraulic hoses is the lower weight for easier handling, quicker installation, and for overall reduced equipment weight.
Gates’ latest innovations require significantly less force to bend for safer, quicker, and less fatiguing routing and installation.
And with the addition of Gates’ materials science expertise, X-Series hoses exceed industry standards for performance and reliability.
And while Gates has qualified these latest advances to multiple industry specifications – it gives more certainty to know you have the right hose for any agricultural machine application.
The Gates X-Series hydraulic hoses range now includes some recent releases that will add to both paddock and off-road performance.
GATES MEGASYS MXG™ 5K
Recently launched in Australia and New Zealand, Gates MegaSys MXG 5K is a high-pressure 5,000 psi hose, yet it is lighter and more flexible than traditional high-pressure equivalents due to Gates advanced Xpiral™ technology.
Features that put the MXG 5K hose ahead include the high 350 bar (5,075 psi) working pressure.
There are four layers of Gates patented Xpiral™ woven spiral technology with high-tensile steel wire reinforcements built-in.
It offers excellent flexibility and lower force-to-bend for faster and more ergonomic installation, where the force-to-bend is 25% better and OD is 5% smaller.
With up to a 20% lighter weight than average this hose is much easier to handle and install.
Each hose comes standard with XtraTuff™ Plus cover, and this provides 25-times increased abrasion and 800-plus hours of ozone resistance
It is qualified with Gates Global Spiral™ (GS) couplings to 1,000,000 impulse cycles and with MegaCrimp couplings (-6 & -8) to 600,000 impulse cycles
With a temperature range of -40°C to +121°C, the hose is available in sizes from -6 to -16.
GATES MEGASYS MXG 4K
Built with Gates proprietary Xpiral technology, MegaSys MXG 4K hose is lightweight, highly flexible, and qualified for one million impulse cycles with the advantage of being a drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses.
The outstanding feature of Gates MXG 4K hydraulic hose is the 280 bar (4060 psi) working pressure. With four layers of Gates patented Xpiral™ woven spiral technology with high-tensile steel wire reinforcements
Gates MXG 4K hydraulic hose also includes excellent flexibility and lower force-to-bend for faster and more ergonomic installation. Force-to-bend is 40% better and OD is 8% smaller.
While it is up to 30% lighter weight for easier handling and installation, it still comes standard with XtraTuff Plus cover, providing 25-times increased abrasion and 800-plus hours of ozone resistance.
Qualified with Gates Global Spiral (GS) couplings to 1,000,000 impulse cycles and with MegaCrimp couplings (-6 to -12) to 600,000 impulse cycles
The recommended temperature range is -40°C to +121°C. Available in sizes -6 to -16.
GATES MEGASYS MXT™
Gates MXT with xtratuff™ plus cover hydraulic hose was designed to address Gates customers’ evolving application challenges.
Using materials science and process innovation, combined with a patent-pending construction, Gates offers a hydraulic solution that is lighter, stronger, and more flexible.
MXT is a universally applicable premium product offering performance above industry standards. Its diversified application allows you to consolidate inventory while giving you exactly the hose you need when conditions demand.
Behind Gates MXT with xtratuff™ plus cover hydraulic hose is the build with braided high-tensile steel wire reinforcement.
While Gates XtraTuff plus cover is available on MXT as an option, to provide increased abrasion and ozone resistance.
It is more flexible with up to 40% lower force-to-bend for faster and more ergonomic installation, and up to a 30% lighter weight for easier handling.
Tested to 3-times impulse criteria of 600,000 cycles. MXT/MXT-XTP is compatible with Gates Global Spiral and MegaCrimp Couplings and Gates crimpers.
The temperature range is -40ºC to +100ºC with availability in sizes -4 to -16.
