New range of RX Hydraulics

New range of Hydraulics from RX

Exclusive to ERIKS the RX range has an enviable reputation across Europe for innovative products that offer value to you as design and maintenance engineers, both in terms of performance and cost. The RX hydraulics programme, as with all RX products, combines innovation from technological advancements, reliable manufacture and the latest materials developments with a touch of šinspiration'.

The vital link between hydraulic components in any system, hydraulic hoses and couplings provide the flexibility, allowing the system to articulate whilst simplifying piping and, ultimately, balancing performance with system costs. Containing rapidly flowing fluids at up to 6000 p.s.i. at elevated temperatures, the hose you choose has to flex, resist abrasion and is often subjected to extreme weather influences, so the choice you make can have a significant effect on your overall system reliability.

As with any product, it's a balance between the key performance attributes you seek and the cost of the system. For example, the application of polymers (synthetic rubber), in order to obtain flexibility, affects the hoses susceptibility to the ageing process. Therefore, it's a trade-off between flexibility and life. With an RX hose and coupling assembly, you get the best of both worlds. Designed and manufactured to twice the EN857/ISO6803 impulse life industry standard, RX Flexitube offers a set of well balanced benefits for the perfect solution for your everyday applications, where reliability and a long service life are the prerequisite.

RX Flexitube offers an increased level of flexibility during operations from its design and manufacturing process without any adverse effects on performance. When put to the test against the EN/ISO standards, RX Flexitube provided 3x the abrasion resistance and 5x the ozone resistance through the quality of materials and construction.

TOPflex ENDURO heavy duty hose
Leading the RX range is the RX TOPflex hose programme which represents the best in class. This product line has extremely high performance criteria making it ideal for those troublesome areas or for the most severe and demanding hydraulic applications. Proven up to 1,000,000 impulse cycles, this heavy duty hose has been designed to withstand extremely high dynamic pressure loading over a long life. The use of the advanced ENDURO cover material provides a high resistance to mechanical abrasion (10x) and ozone exposure (10x).

TOPflex THUNDER harsh environment hose
Again, rated to 1,000,000 impulse cycles, this hose has been developed to reach even higher levels of abrasion (500x) and ozone (20x) resistance by incorporating the special THUNDER cover technology.
