Kurt Hydraulics’ 6W couplings are designed for rugged high-pressure wind applications

By Nic Sharpley | May 19, 2014

Kurt Hydraulics’ new 6W couplings and high-pressure wire hoses are designed for rugged applications in the wind-energy industry.

Kurt Hydraulics’ new 6W couplings and high-pressure wire hoses are designed for rugged applications in the wind-energy industry.

Kurt Hydraulics line of 6W Couplings combined with high pressure braided hose are ideally suited for applications that require high pressure capabilities and temperature ranges from -40° F to 250° F for the Wind Industry. The Kurt 6W Couplings are a one-piece, bite the wire crimp coupling with non-skive design to eliminate cover skiving before assembly to the hose.

The Kurt 6W Couplings make assembly simple, quick and enhance the hydraulic hose assembly to maintain more integrity which is crucial in many applications. The 6W couplings eliminate leaks and in-field failures caused by shock and vibration and are ideally suited in hydraulic systems for Wind operations.

Kurt 6W Couplings are available in 85 different types and popular sizes of 1¼”, 1½, 2” and are designed to work with SAE R13 and 4SH hydraulic hose available from Kurt. The 6W couplings can withstand ultra high pressure of up to 6000 psi, and are suited for operations ranging in temperatures from -40° F to 250° F.

All Kurt couplings meet or exceed SAE specifications and are quality manufactured in accordance with ISO 9002/QS 9000 quality processes and systems. They are finished with RoHS compliant trivalent Chromum-6 Free process, a highly durable finish which exceeds the industry SAE standard by 4X hours of salt spray.

Kurt Hydraulics is rapidly expanding its U.S manufacturing, local service and distribution and widely expanding its product offering by adding hundreds of new couplings, hoses and crimper systems. With multiple manufacturing plants, Kurt maintains vast engineering and manufacturing resources for standard and custom coupling hose solutions. Plus Kurt Hydraulics offers millions of feet of hose and millions of couplings available in stock and for immediate delivery from warehouses across the USA.
