What makes the Quick-Connect hose connections so efficient and cost-effective?
The Quick-Connect hose connections from ARGO-HYTOS are a cost-effective alternative to conventional metal hose connection fittings. The reliable and tried-and-tested system has proven itself in daily use in the field with over 1,000,000 connections. The use of plastic technologies makes the system a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality or performance.
The Quick-Connect hose connections are characterized by modularity and diversity. More than 30 options in various sizes and angles allow flexible adaptation to a wide range of requirements in the field of hydraulic technology.
When designing the Quick-Connect system, the focus was on optimized user-friendliness. The particularly easy handling of the connections enables quick and error-free installation. This is an enormous advantage, especially when used in confined spaces.
Tool-free installation not only reduces installation time, but also the risk of installation errors. The resulting significant increase in efficiency helps to reduce costs throughout the entire assembly process.
The Quick-Connect hose connections also offer a high level of safety during use. An integrated safety clip indicates correct assembly and prevents unintentional loosening of the hose line. The radial rotatability of the cable contributes to the durability of the connection, as tension in the hose is reliably reduced. This increases safety in dynamic applications.
What are the technical specifications of the Quick-Connect hose connections?
The Quick-Connect hose connections from ARGO-HYTOS are made from modern high-performance materials such as polyamide with glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcement. The high-quality material selection represents the optimum combination of strength and flexibility.
The temperature range of the system extends from -30 °C to +100 °C with a short-term tolerance of up to +120 °C. This allows the Quick-Connect hose connections to be used in a wide variety of environments and under extreme conditions.
Important technical data at a glance
- Material: Polyamide, reinforced with glass or carbon fibers
- Temperature range: -30 °C to +100 °C, short-term up to +120 °C
- Operating pressure: up to 10 bar
- Sealing material: HNBR (others on request)
The use of HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber) as a sealing material ensures high resistance to chemical substances, oils and temperatures. This significantly increases the service life and reliability of the connection system.
Another technical advantage of the Quick-Connect system is its ability to adapt to metal nozzles. This flexibility allows the system to be used in a wide range of existing fluid technology applications. Extensive modifications to already installed components are not necessary. The combination of technical features makes the Quick-Connect system a reliable, versatile solution for modern hydraulic applications.
Easy, tool-free installation
The Quick-Connect hose connections make it easier to install hose lines thanks to their particularly simple assembly. The line is simply pushed onto the connector and secured with a safety clip. The tool-free assembly eliminates the need to check tightening torques, which both saves time and minimizes assembly errors.
Once installation is complete, the ability to rotate the cable through 360° allows it to be used without tension.
The flexible rotatability of the cables also offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility and durability. It allows the cables to adapt without creating tension or kinks. This simplifies system maintenance and extends the service life of the cables.
In addition to the flexibility in daily use, the tool-free assembly of the Quick-Connect hose connections considerably simplifies the installation process. No special knowledge or tools are required. This is ideal for applications where quick and uncomplicated installation is required.
Advantages of the Quick-Connect hose connections: Shorter assembly time, increased cost efficiency
The Quick-Connect hose connections from ARGO-HYTOS offer significant advantages, particularly in terms of installation time and cost efficiency. The assembly sequence is up to 80 percent faster than with conventional fittings. In direct comparison, this leads to considerable time savings. The added efficiency means direct cost savings, as less labor is required for installation.
Further advantages of the Quick-Connect system
- Significant cost savings compared to classic metal hydraulic fittings
- Error-free installation thanks to a simple and intuitive system
- Assembly without tools, which further simplifies the installation process
- Flexible use in confined spaces thanks to a 360° rotatable line
- Large flow cross-sections for low pressure losses
The outstanding technical properties make the Quick-Connect hose connections particularly suitable for time-critical applications or installation in confined spaces. The simple, tool-free assembly saves time and reduces the risk of assembly errors. You can count on greater reliability and a longer service life for your hydraulic systems!
The maximum flexibility of the system is also particularly evident in confined spaces. The ability to rotate the line through 360° allows optimum positioning and reduces tension in the line.
In addition, the large flow cross-sections of the Quick-Connect system ensure efficient hydraulic systems with low pressure losses. This increases the overall performance of your systems and reduces operating costs, as less energy is required for operation.
Summary of innovations in the Quick-Connect system
The Quick-Connect hose connections from ARGO-HYTOS represent a convincing innovation in fluid technology. With numerous successful applications in the field, the system has proven to be a reliable, efficient and cost-effective solution.
The main features of the Quick-Connect hose connections include tool-free, up to 80 percent faster installation compared to conventional fittings. For you, this means significant time and cost savings - even during the initial installation.
The use of reinforced polyamide as the material and HNBR as the sealing material ensure high durability and reliability of the connections. This also applies under extreme conditions.
Flexibility in use is further enhanced by the fact that the cables can be rotated through 360°. This allows the cables to be laid without tension at all times. At the same time, the service life of the cables is increased. This property is an unbeatable advantage, especially in dynamic environments.
