When it comes to hydraulic systems, choosing the right hose can make all the difference in performance, safety, and longevity. Summers Rubber has built a reputation as a trusted supplier of Gates Hydraulics, providing industry-leading hose solutions engineered for the toughest applications. At the heart of Gates’ hydraulic innovation is the MegaSys® line, which incorporates cutting-edge technology to improve working performance, reduce downtime, and maximize system efficiency.
Gates MegaSys®: Advancing Hydraulic Hose Technology
Gates’ MegaSys® line of hydraulic hoses is designed with advanced engineering to outperform traditional hose designs. By focusing on reduced bend radius, uniform pressure systems, and high impulse test ratings, Gates has set a new industry standard for durability and efficiency.
Reduced Bend Radius for Easier Installation
- The MegaSys® hose family features up to 40% lower force-to-bend requirements compared to standard hydraulic hoses.
- This enhanced flexibility allows for tighter routing in compact spaces, reducing stress on the hose and increasing installation efficiency.
- By requiring less force to bend, the MegaSys® hoses improve equipment design options and make maintenance easier.
Uniform Pressure System: Simplifying Inventory and Design
- Traditional hydraulic hoses often require different constructions and specifications based on pressure ratings.
- Gates MegaSys® hoses are designed with a uniform pressure system, meaning multiple hose sizes meet the same pressure requirements, simplifying selection and inventory management.
- With pressures ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 psi, the MegaSys® system ensures consistent performance across a broad range of applications.
High Impulse Test Ratings for Increased Durability
- Impulse cycles measure a hose’s ability to withstand high-pressure surges over time.
- Gates MegaSys® hoses are tested up to 1,000,000 impulse cycles, exceeding SAE standards and outperforming many competing hoses.
This translates to longer service life, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
Gates MegaSys® Layline System: A Smarter Way to Identify Hoses
One of the standout features of Gates MegaSys® hoses is the innovative layline system—a clear, color-coded marking printed along the length of the hose.
Key Benefits of the MegaSys® Layline System:
- Quick Identification: Each hose type is color-coded for easy selection, reducing the risk of mismatching hoses during installation.
- Pressure Ratings at a Glance: The layline clearly displays the working pressure, allowing for faster reference without needing to consult charts or manuals.
- Correct Coupling and Assembly: The system ensures that hoses are used with the proper fittings and assemblies, enhancing reliability and safety.
With the MegaSys® Layline System, technicians can quickly and accurately identify the right hose for the job, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
