Gates Fluid Power eBook: Preventive Maintenance for Industrial & Hydraulic Hose Systems
This chapter of the Gates Fluid Power eBook details the processes of proper hydraulic hose system assembly and installation. While the components and equipment for permanent crimped, permanent swage and field attachable assemblies may vary, approaches to measuring, cutting and fitting orientation are the same. Learn best practices for these assembly steps as well as crimping, cleanliness and more before diving into installation. From coupling configuration to routing, you’ll take away key tips for creating safe, efficient systems.

Improperly matched or coupled hose can fail, causing downtime or personal injury. Matching parts from one manufacturer to create an integrated system, on the other hand, ensures safety and efficiency. In this chapter of the Gates Fluid Power eBook outlining preventive maintenance for hydraulic and industrial hose, we detail the criteria for choosing the proper hose and couplings for your applications. Critical performance characteristics that help maintenance personnel select hose are summarized as STAMPED – size, temperature, application, material to be conveyed, pressure, ends and delivery. Learn more about hose and find coupling identification tips when you download the chapter.

Gates Drives eBook
Free-spinning or “windmilling” occurs when ACHE fans are powered off, becoming free to rotate backwards. In this condition, fans not only pose a safety hazard to maintenance workers, but they also place a strain on motor system components when they power back up. There is a simple, economical solution to this problem. It’s called an anti-rotation device. Learn more about the useful solution that improves worker safety and reduces maintenance.

According to the Department of Energy, industrial electric motor systems in the U.S. use approximately 679 billion kilowatt hours of electricity every year, accounting for 23% of all electricity consumed. This heavy usage affords industrial plant managers, plant engineers and maintenance personnel a significant opportunity for energy savings. Likewise, design engineers recognize the potential in designing more energy efficient equipment. Learn how synchronous belt drives, variable frequency drives and high efficiency motors will deliver much needed cost savings and payback.

For power transmission and motion control equipment to remain competitive and productive in the marketplace, it must adopt new technologies. But, engineers face a tough challenge: Why change a drive design that’s working?
This ebook addresses that question by reviewing the basics of drive design including drive design considerations, popular drive design options and the impact of inappropriate or outdated designs. Additionally, read two case studies featuring market solutions that have led to better performing, more competitive designs. These updated designs translated to savings that would have never
possible with the previous technologies.

Many of the 40 million electric motors in operation in the U.S. are not running at optimum efficiency. On average, synchronous belt drives operate 5% more efficiently than V-belt drives and also save maintenance expense. Learn more, and see how one plant saved $34,000 annually after converting its HVAC drives. Make the most of your motors. Synchronous belt drives operate at 98-99% efficiency, making them 5% more efficient than V-belt drives and more cost-effective as well. Learn how to gain a competitive edge with belt drives, avoid energy efficiency pitfalls, save maintenance expense and minimize downtime.
