Danfoss launch new GH493 four-wire spiral hose in EMEA
High-performance hydraulic hose offers reliable performance in high-pressure mobile and industrial machinery applications
DANFOSS Power Solutions have announced the launch of their Aeroquip GH493 four-wire spiral hose in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The premium hydraulic hose has been designed to meet/exceed four key industry standards in flexibility, lifetime, and working pressure – EN856 Type R12, EN856 Type 4SP, SAE 100R12, and ISO 18752 – offering reliable performance in the most demanding high-pressure mobile and industrial machinery applications.
With its tighter minimum bend radius, the GH493 hose also offers greater flexibility for use in cramped spaces. This versatility provides more design freedom and easier installation, and reduces the hose lengths required, which lowers costs and machine weight. According to Danfoss, the hose’s minimum bend radius is, on average, 58% tighter than EN856 Type 4SP and 50% tighter than EN856 Type R12 standards.
The high-performance GH493 delivers a long in-application lifetime, maximizing machinery uptime and reducing maintenance and hose replacement costs. Hose sizes -6 to -16 are tested for up to 1 million impulse cycles, and hose sizes -20 to -32 are tested for up to 500,000 impulse cycles, higher than the requirements of SAE 100R12, EN856 Type 4SP, and EN856 Type R12.
In addition, the GH493 hose is said to provide better average pressure performance than industry standards, enabling use in a broad range of hydraulic systems as well as the creation of more power-dense machines.
‘It’s rare to find a hose with outstanding flexibility plus higher-pressure performance and a long lifetime. This combination makes our Aeroquip by Danfoss GH493 hose a versatile solution that maximizes uptime and minimizes maintenance in a wide range of high-pressure machinery,’ said Salih Karayagiz, product manager for rubber hydraulic hose and fittings at Danfoss Power Solutions.
‘The GH493 is our most popular four-wire spiral hose in the Americas, proven over the years in a wide range of applications. Its introduction in EMEA opens new application possibilities while helping our customers drive inventory standardization.’
For increased durability, the GH493 hose incorporates the Danfoss Dura-Tuff cover, which is up to eight times more abrasion-resistant than standard synthetic hose covers. The material extends hose's lifetime while reducing the chances of a hose failure due to abrasion.
The hose is compatible with Danfoss 4S series spiral fittings. Featuring Dura-Seal technology, these high-performance fittings enable better sealing and leak-free operations. The GH493 is ideal for higher-pressure hydraulic systems in construction/mining machinery, as well as oil and gas and wind power equipment.
