DENVER, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Gates (NYSE: GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, is redefining high-pressure hydraulic performance with the introduction of the MegaSys™ MXG™ 4K hydraulic hose. Qualified to one million impulse cycles, this highly differentiated hose is a lightweight, compact, highly flexible drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses. Gates XtraTuff™ Plus cover, a standard upgrade on MXG 4K, offers improved abrasion and ozone resistance, providing improved durability when powering the most demanding fluid power applications.
"MXG 4K combines our newest materials with Gates' advanced processing technologies to create yet another product that stands out in the market," said Mike Haen, vice president, global product line management. "Our customers' applications require a lighter weight, more flexible, compact hose; so we tasked our engineers to design a new class of premium hydraulics to exceed the performance typically achieved with wire spiral constructions, but with the lower weight and flexibility driven by Gates next generation wire-braid technology – and they delivered. MXG 4K is truly an industry breakthrough."
Tested under the same conditions as Gates' popular EFG4K MegaSpiral™ hose, MXG 4K offers:
"Truly a multi-use hose, MXG 4K serves smaller and more congested hydraulic systems, helping to improve assembly line speeds and achieve tight routings, while delivering additional abrasion resistance and ozone protection," said Cindy Cookson, director of global product line management for hydraulics. "MXG 4K provides our OEM clients and distributors, and ultimately the end user, with a new, innovative technology that has the ability to improve equipment performance and overall output while reducing warranty and repairs."
MXG 4K is compliant with and exceeds ISO 18752 280DC and SAE 100R19 requirements, exceeds performance criteria of SAE 100R12, EN 856 R12, and ISO 3862 R12; size 16 and also exceeds EN 856 4SP ratings.
MXG 4K will debut at the 10th Annual International Construction Equipment and Construction Trade Show, EXCON, December 10-14, 2019 in Bengaluru, India. Visit Stall A3, Hall 2, Lower Level for a product demonstration.
Gates has launched MXG 4K in India, and is currently accepting pre-orders in advance of global distribution in early 2020. To learn more, visit www.gates.com/mxg.
