Business Wire
Gates Corporation today announced the availability of Gates Live
Swivel couplings for use in high pressure rotating hydraulic
applications. This new technology helps protect hoses, increases
safety, prevents equipment damage and environmental contamination.
Gates Hydraulic Live Swivels use a new, patented “ball-less”
technology eliminating the weaknesses present in traditional ball
bearing design swivels. The advanced leak-free, self-lubricating
design of Gates Live Swivels outlasts all bearing and race products
in the market today providing superior performance and lower
operating costs while being environmentally friendly.
“The demands of today’s hydraulic industry are higher than ever
before. Customers expect increased productivity, more up time and
improved return on investment. Gates Live Swivels give our
customers the longest-lasting, trouble-free and
lowest-cost-per-hour live swivel in the marketplace,” said Rick
Mirtz, Fluid Power Product Manager for Gates. “Superior technology
and dependable performance equals less time between repairs and
lower rebuild costs.”
Designed for use in forestry, high articulation construction
equipment, rotating grapples, and anywhere boom truck operations
take place, Gates Live Swivels rotate up to 270°, will not pull
apart during operation and are easy to rebuild. The coupling is
engineered to show weeping, indicating when a rebuild is necessary,
eliminating unnecessary downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
Rebuilds can also be done in the field, leading to increased
productivity.
Gates Live Swivels are stronger and tougher than competitors. In
impulse cycles to failure tests the Gates coupling lasted nearly
three hundred thousand cycles as compared to other competitors,
which reached just under fifty thousand cycles.
