Cutting ring fittings for connections in hydraulic lines<\/h1>

Hydraulic systems<\/a> are characterized by a liquid medium and high internal pressures. They are also subject to large temperature differences. <\/p>

These present major challenges for the assembly of the required lines, which can only be met with adapted construction methods. A typical form of connection for hydraulic lines is the cutting ring fitting. They can be used for both rigid and flexible lines. <\/p>

Properties of the cutting ring fitting<\/h2>

The cutting ring fitting ensures a tight transition from one line section to the next. They can be produced in rigid lines made of plastic, steel, copper, or aluminum, as well as in rubber hoses. <\/p>

For flexible lines, additional internal sleeves are required to absorb the compressive forces of the cutting ring during assembly. The production of a cutting ring fitting is a standardized process that is the same for all materials and diameters. <\/p>

It consists of four elements:<\/p>
