Hydraulic hose offers 50% better bend radius than EN standard

Abrasion issue

Abrasion is a leading cause of hose field failure and is a problem that needs to be addressed. Featuring Dura – Tuff covers, the EC881 is eight times more resistant to abrasion than conventional synthetic covered hoses, ultimately leading to less failures and improved machine up time. In extreme operating environments high velocity leads to high temperatures, conventionally rated hoses simply cannot deliver the protection needed and service life times are impacted.

EC881 has been designed to offer temperature capabilities up to 126degC, thus mitigating against the risk and ultimately controlling maintenance costs. What’s more, inside out failure can be correlated to hose material aging and is a common cause of operational breakdown. Eaton engineers have focused on developing a next generation inner tube that has three times the life span capabilities when compared to standard hose of standard EN857 2SC. EC881’s high fatigue resistance and low compression set provides better sealing and leak free performance.
