New, Improved, and Environmentally Friendly Coupling Plating Unsurpassed Salt-Spray Resistance That's Earth Safe! Introduced back in 2001, standard TuffCoat plating set the "gold" standard in corrosion resistance. Tested under SAE J516 and ASTMB117 salt-spray conditions, standard TuffCoat plating provided more than 500 hours of protection against the formation of red rust. That's over 340% longer than the new 144-hour SAE industry standard. And now new TuffCoat Xtreme plating raises the bar to over 840 hours of red rust protection under the same salt-spray conditions. This is over 580% longer than the new 144-hour SAE industry standard. TuffCoat plating is also "green" thanks to an environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Due to environmental concerns, Gates eliminated hexavalent chromium from the TuffCoat manufacturing process. Hexavalent chromium, a material common in industrial plating, can be hazardous to the environment as illustrated in the movie "Erin Brockovich." - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingstuffcoat-xtreme-plating#sthash.bSSuw7O6.dpuf

Twin Power belts have teeth on both sides to provide synchronization from both driving surfaces. MarketsApplicationsPowerGrip HTD Twin Power belts are suitable for many applications including data storage, hand power tools, postage handling, food processors, office machines, centrifuges, money handling, medicine diagnostic, sewing machines, ticket dispensers, robotics, vending machines and vacuum cleaners. FeaturesAdvantagesGates Twin Power belts have nylon facing on both tooth surfaces providing equal load carrying capabilities on either side of the belt. Belt capacity is equal to standard single-sided PowerGrip HTD belts. Fiberglass tensile cord provides high strength, excellent flex life, and high resistance to elongation. Neoprene body provides protection against grime, grease, oil, and moisture. Nylon tooth facing provides a durable wear surface for long service life. Quieter than roller chain drives and eliminates lubrication and re-tensioning to reduce maintenance and labor. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-beltssynchronous-beltspowergrip-htd-twin-power-belts#sthash.duWx3VMm.dpuf

GlobalSpiral Couplings Offer Inventory Reduction with No-Skive Convenience More than five years of engineering and testing went into the GlobalSpiral (GS) coupling design. In performance testing required by Gates OEM customers, GS couplings surpassed one million impulse cycles at +250F without stress cracks or failures. Both the stem and ferrule are machined from solid, unleaded steel bar stock for maximum strength. This enables GS couplings to handle working pressures up to 8, 000 psi. The no-skive ferrule eliminates the need for skiving equipment, as well as odors and dust created while removing the protective outer cover from the hose. Ferrules that require skiving are subject to blow-offs when skived improperly. Blow-offs and weeping at the hosecoupling interface also can result from failure to fully insert the stem during assembly. With the two-piece design of the GS coupling, it is possible to pull the ferrule down and check for full stem insertion. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingsglobalspiral-couplings#sthash.1DrHptDv.dpuf

Full-Torque Nut Couplings Are Stronger and More Durable Than Traditional Staked-Nut Fittings One of the most common causes of hydraulic leaks is a cracked coupling nut or seat due to over-torquing. Gates has engineered a solution - Full-Torque Nut technology now available on Gates MegaCrimp (wire-braid hoses) and GlobalSpiral couplings (spiral-wire hoses). Full-Torque Nut couplings are stronger and more durable than traditional staked-nut fittings. A large holding shoulder evenly distributes stress forces at the nut for higher resistance against cracking, even when inadvertently over-torqued. Increase productivity and equipment uptime, on the assembly line or in the field, by eliminating damaged couplings and unsightly leaks from too much torque. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingsfull-torque-nut-couplings#sthash.QzOk7tM0.dpuf

Stainless Steel Couplings for Wire-Braid and Spiral-Wire Hoses Longer Life for Your Hydraulic Assemblies Stainless steel couplings are ideal for use in corrosive conditions such as salt spray in marine operations, caustic chemicals in agricultural applications, frequent washdowns in food and beverage processing, and many other harsh environments. - See more at: http:www.gates.comproductsindustrialindustrial-hydraulicshydraulic-couplingsstainless-steel-couplings#sthash.BuGTbdCK.dpuf
