Specific Hose for Hydrostatic Drives Hydrostatic drives are a widely used method of power transmission, due to their fast response times and ease of speed regulation. Anaconda is the first hose by Manuli Hydraulics designed specifically to meet the challenges pre- sented by these systems. Hydrostatic drives often require short lengths of hose in tight routing condi- tions, such as the undercarriages of construction and mining vehicles. This can be troublesome, as shorter lengths of hose tend to require a much higher bending force than longer lengths of the same hose, making them difficult to install in compact environments. Anaconda was manufactured to alle- viate this complication with a reduced bending force to suit difficult applica- tions. Its very low minimum bend radius exceeds the standard requirements - making routing easier and reducing the risk of kinks, even in these constricted conditions. Manuli also offers a dedicated fitting to work seamlessly with Anaconda hose. InterLock Plus is a robust, double-skive solution for maximum reliability in very high-pressure applications. SpiralFit is the company’s no-skive solution for aftermarket assembly of replacement hoses. For a link to this website, visit: worldwidedrillingresource.com
