Its new product is Eaton Dynamax EC850, a multi-spiral reinforced hose for 500 bar (7,250 psi) operating pressures.
The new hose and fittings can be used in hydrostatic drive systems, direct drive steering systems, and other applications which require hoses with high pressure capability and flexibility.
The hose and fitting series is available in the following sizes: – 10 (DN16); -12 (DN19); -16 (DN25); -20 (DN31).
