HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS ™ ILOK COUPLING

REDUCE TIME, COST, AND RISK OF HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS In the Longwall mine, conditions play havoc with traditional staple lock and super-stecko couplings. After months in this environment the staples used to secure the couplings become corroded and fused in the couplings. SIMPLE. SAFE. The new iLok ™ hand tightened coupling easily connects and disconnects, saving valuable time and labor costs. WRENCHING HAMMERING TORQUEING GUESSING

INTRODUCING THE ILOK COUPLING ™ THE GLOBAL HYDRAULIC INDUSTRY’S FIRST HAND-TORQUED 35.0 MPA HYDRAULIC HOSE CONNECTOR. SPEEDY CONNECT AND DISCONNECT Gates iLok ™ coupling is a threaded design with coarse, flattened threads to allow hand-tightening. It can be connected in seconds, and disengaging the connection is quick and easy as well. Simply cut and remove the cable lock and turn the swivel nut counterclockwise 2½ turns by hand. Slots on the swivel nut accommodate a spanner wrench in case extra force is needed to loosen the connection. The iLok ™ coupling nut contacts the entire surface of the...

APPLICATION RATINGS THE ILOK™ TERMINATION IS CHARACTERIZED WITH A DUAL RATING SYSTEM DEPENDING ON APPLICATION: MINING OR HYDRAULIC. The Mining application rating is used for direct comparisons to standard mining terminations such as Stecko, Super Stecko, SSKV where qualification is 4:1 burst & 300,000 impulse cycles at working pressure (i.e. for WP = 42.0 MPa, burst is 168.0 MPa & 300,000 impulse cycles at 42.0 MPa impulse pressure). The Hydraulic application is for a typical SAE/ISO termination rating/qualification where it is 4:1 burst and 1 million impulse cycles at 133% of working pressure...
