Check Out our Choice of Hydraulic Couplings!

mike products

Over time, the hydraulic coupling connecting your hydraulic hose to your hydraulic cylinder may become faulty due to wear and tear. If you have noticed your hydraulic coupling has seen better days, you may be tempted to replace it. Couplings are used to join two pieces of rotating equipment whilst allowing some degree of misalignment. They are also used to help transfer power; and can also be used to protect against over loads, and to reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to the other. Therefore, it's vitally important that if your hydraulic coupling has become faulty, you replace it as soon as possible to ensure everything is working efficiently.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, we have a choice of two high-quality couplings that will ensure there is a solid connection between your hydraulic hose and cylinder. Our range of couplings includes:

Female Hydraulic Coupling

(Buy Here)

Thread Size: 3/8" NPT

Suitable up to 10,000 PSI

Male Hydraulic Coupling

(Buy Here)

Thread Size: 3/8" NPT

Suitable up to 10,000 PSI

If you have any questions about our hydraulic couplings, please do not hesitate to call us on 0808 123 69 69 or email sales@safetyliftingear.com - we'd be happy to help!
