/PRNewswire/ Gates (NYSE: GTES), a leading global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, today introduced its latest.
The Gates MegaSys MXT-XTP is a universally applicable hydraulic hose featuring the company’s patent-pending wire-braid technology.
It is 25 percent lighter weight than conventional hoses, making it easier to lift and handle, plus MXT is up to 49 percent more flexible, allowing faster and more ergonomic installations, according to the company. The optional XTP cover adds 25 times the abrasion resistance and enhanced ozone resistance, as validated by an 800-hour ozone exposure test.
MXT-XTP hose meets or exceeds relevant ISO, SAE, and EN performance standards, Gates says, is MHSA-certified for flame resistance, and is certified leak-free per SAE J1754 when used with the company’s MegaCrimp couplings.
