Gates launches new hydraulic hose MXGâ„¢ 4K at EXCON

Bangalore, December, 11 2019

Gates, a leading global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, has launched 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.

This next generation of premium hydraulics, offering a highly flexible, light weight and compact design for first fit, industrial and automotive replacement markets.

Anshum Jain, COO, Wirtgen JD group and Manoj Jain, Channel Partner, Rubber Hose India.

Mike Haen, Vice President, Global Product Line Management, said, “MXG 4K combines our newest materials with Gates’ advanced processing technologies to create yet another product that stands out in the market. 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.”

MXG 4K is 40 per cent more flexible than conventional spiral hoses, reducing the amount of force needed to properly route, allowing for faster and more ergonomic installation. Unrivaled Weight Reduction: At 30 per cent lighter weight, MXG 4K improves equipment performance, material handling, installation and ergonomics. Compact Design: MXG 4K is on average 8 per cent more compact, providing an easier fitthat also enables upsizing hose selection for increased power. Extreme Durability and High Temperature Performance: MXG 4K exceeds industry standards for bend radius and impulse life, performing to one million impulse cycles at high temperatures (121º C/250º F). Abrasion and ozone resistance to battle external factors: TheXtraTuff Plus cover, delivered standard on MXG 4K, is engineered to be 25 times more abrasion resistant than Gates’ standard cover and also provides enhanced ozone resistance, passing a rigorous 800-hour ozone test.  

Cindy Cookson, Director-Global Product Line Management, Hydraulics, said, “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. MXG 4K provides our OEM clients and distributors, and ultimately the end user, with a new, innovative technologythat has the ability toimprove 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 andalso exceeds EN 856 4SP ratings.

MXG 4K made a debut at the 10th Annual International Construction Equipment and Construction Trade Show, EXCON, which is being held from December 10 to 14, 2019 in Bengaluru, India. Visit Stall A3, Hall 2, and Lower Level for a product demonstration.
