How To Assemble Hydraulic Hoses?

Hydraulic hoses play a vital role in various hydraulic systems, and their proper assembly is crucial to ensure the normal operation of the system. The following is the general assembly process of hydraulic hoses.

First is the preparation work. It is necessary to select the appropriate - specification hydraulic hoses and matching connectors according to the actual usage requirements. Ensure that the inner diameter, outer diameter, length, and working pressure of the hoses match the system requirements. Meanwhile, check whether the model, size, and material of the connectors are correct. Also, prepare the tools required for assembly, such as cutting tools, wrenches, hydraulic hose crimping machines, etc., and ensure that the tools are in good condition.

Next is cutting the hose. Use a sharp cutting tool, such as a professional hose cutting machine to cut the hose to the required length. When cutting, ensure that the cut is flat, without burrs and bevels, to avoid affecting the subsequent assembly and use.

Then comes the installation of the connector. Put the connector onto the end of the hose. For some connectors that require seals, install the seals correctly first. Ensure that the connector and the hose fit tightly without any looseness.

After that is the crimping operation. Use a hydraulic hose crimping machine to crimp the end of the hose with the connector installed. During the crimping process, strictly follow the operation instructions of the tool and the specified pressure and stroke to ensure a firm connection between the connector and the hose, which can withstand the working pressure of the system without leakage.

After the assembly is completed, the hydraulic hose needs to be inspected and tested. The visual inspection includes checking whether there is any damage on the hose surface, whether the connector is firmly installed, and whether the crimped part is uniform. The pressure test is to connect the assembled hose to a professional hose testing machine, apply a certain pressure, and observe whether there is any leakage at the hose and connector to ensure its good sealing performance.

Only by strictly following the above steps and requirements for the assembly of hydraulic hoses can the safe and stable operation of the hydraulic system be ensured, and the failures and accidents caused by improper hose assembly be reduced.
