GATES MXG™ 4K-XTP WITH XTRATUFF™

MXG™ 4K. HIGH-PRESSURE PERFORMANCE REDEFINED. 

Built with our proprietary wire-braid process technology, MegaSys™ MXG™ 4K hose is lightweight, highly flexible, and qualified to ONE MILLION impulse cycles — it’s a drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses.

Where others see a hose, we see a solution that can benefit our customers.  Using materials science advancements, design expertise and processing technologies, we engineered a new class of hydraulic hose that exceeds the pressure and performance of wire spiral constructions, but with the lower weight and flexibility driven by Gates wire-braid technology.

The XtraTuff™ Plus abrasion resistant cover on MXG™4K hose offers improved ozone resistance, withstands operating temperatures up to 250ºF, and delivers exceptional durability to power your most demanding fluid power applications

 

FEATURES + BENEFITS
■ Proprietary application of materials science and processing technology
■ Exceeds performance criteria of ISO 18752 280DC, SAE 100R12, EN856 R12, and ISO 3862 R12; size -16 also rated for EN856 4SP
■ For inventory consolidation, also exceeds SAE 100R19
■ 1,000,000 cycle impulse life exceeds industry standards (2X spiral and 5X wire braid standards) with GS couplings
■ Impulse tested to the same parameters as Gates EFG4K spiral hose (pressure, temperature and bend radius)
■ Compact construction with excellent flexibility and lower force-tobend for faster and more ergonomic installation (force-to-bend is 40% better and OD is 8% smaller)
■ 30% lighter weight for easier handling and installation
■ Gates XtraTuff™ Plus cover comes standard on MXG, providing abrasion and ozone resistance
■ Utilizes Gates GS GlobalSpiral™ couplings; compatible with Gates Crimpers

We have limited samples available. Please contact us if you would like to arrange a time to view.

Gates Australia Launches New MegaSys MXT Hydraulic Hose Range

Gates Introduces New Line of Premium, Multi-Purpose Hydraulic Hoses.

Gates MXT™ line, designed using applied materials science and process expertise, delivers lightweight, flexible hydraulic hoses that exceed industry standards.

Gates Australia as part of Gates Industrial Corp. plc (NYSE: GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, introduces the next generation of premium hydraulics with the new Gates MXT™ family of hoses. This innovative, patent-pending product line is a lighter weight and more flexible solution that meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards, and addresses both replacement market and original equipment manufacturer needs. It is designed for applications across industries such as agriculture, mining, construction and other end-markets with demanding performance requirements.

“We have been focused on enhancing our product development and manufacturing capabilities, and MXT™ is a great example of how these investments are starting to pay off,” said Ivo Jurek, CEO of Gates Industrial. “This innovative new product further demonstrates our ongoing dedication to push the boundaries of applied materials science and manufacturing processes to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

“Our customers have been telling us they want lighter, more flexible and easier-to-handle products that address multiple industry standards. They are seeking to enhance the performance of their machines, simplify their engineering processes, improve operational efficiencies and streamline inventory with a simplified selection of replacement products that can be used on virtually any original equipment platform,” said Tom Pitstick, CMO and SVP of Product Line Management for Gates Industrial. “MXT™ delivers on these needs and adds value to our customers beyond just premium product performance.”

Gates MXT™ Features:

  • More flexible with an average of 40 percent decreased force-to-bend (compared to similar Gates products), allowing for faster and more ergonomic installation
  • Up to 30 percent lighter weight for improved fuel efficiency, easier handling and reduced shipping costs
  • Meets or exceeds multiple industry standards, covering approximately 90 percent of the hydraulic wire braid product applications
  • Tested to exceed 600,000 impulse cycles – three times greater than industry standards
  • Designed to work exclusively with Gates MegaCrimp™ couplings

Gates MXT™ is the latest addition to the Gates MegaSys™ product portfolio, a complete hydraulic hose and coupling system, and is available now in Australia and New Zealand as well as globally.

Gates Braided Hose Manufacture

Ever wondered how Gates 1 or 2 wire braided hose is manufactured?

See a short clip below showing the braiding machine in action.

 

 

Were ever possible we use Gates hose and fittings due to there unparalleled quality and durability.

See some of our range of Gates Braided Hose and  MegaCrimp Couplings on our fluid connectors product pages or Contact Us any time.

And remember that Gates eCrimp provides the most up-to-date crimp specifications for all Gates hose and fitting combinations.

Gates-eCrimp

The Gates MegaCrimp couplings give you a leak-proof seal that’s so innovative, it’s patented*. During testing, it surpassed one million impulse cycles.  MegaCrimp couplings set a new standard for hydraulic couplings. The unique “C” insert ensures “weep-free” concentric crimping to keep equipment and the environment clean.

FULL-TORQUE NUT™ DESIGN – One of the most common causes of hydraulic leaks is a cracked coupling nut or seat due to over-torquing by a strong-armed worker. Gates has engineered a solution – Full-Torque Nut™ technology now available on Gates MegaCrimp and GlobalSpiral® couplings.

Electronic Hose Crimp Data

Gates eCrimp™ database allows Gates end users and distributors to find and print the most up-to-date crimp specifications for Gates hydraulic and industrial hose products. It provides crimping instructions, crimp diameter, maintenance, and troubleshooting information.

Access Gates eCrimp here – http://ecrimp.gates.com/

Guide to using eCrimp™ to find you crimp diameter and ferrule required

  • Select your Hose. eg. G2, M3K, M4K, M5K, EFG4K, EFG6K
  • Select your Dash size.  eg. -06, -08, -32
  • Select your Stem type.
    • Megacrimp™ = G
    • GlobalSpiral™ = GS
    • GlobalSpiral Plus™ = GSP
    • GlobalSpiral Maximum™ = GSM
    • Stainless steel = S-SS
  • Click view results.

 

For assistance using the eCrimp™ application or selecting the correct hose and fitting combination  Contact US

Example shown for EFG4K-12 hose with GS hose stems giving a crimp diameter of 37.60mm using GS-12GS1F-4 ferrules.
