Metric light and heavy hydraulic fittings and their area of application

Hydraulic fittings are a crucial component of hydraulic systems, ensuring a secure and tight connection between individual components. They find application in various industries such as mechanical engineering, aviation, construction machinery, or agriculture. There are different types of hydraulic fittings, including weld-on, screw-on, connector, screw-in, and bulkhead fittings, each offering specific applications and advantages.

Some manufacturers also offer special hydraulic fittings, such as adjustable angle or L fittings, which can reduce space requirements and shorten assembly time. However, it is important to ensure that these special fittings are suitable for the respective application.

The 24° cone for metric light and heavy hydraulic screw connections is a must for a reliable connection

An important feature of hydraulic fittings is the cone, which establishes a reliable connection between the fittings and the hydraulic components. For metric light and heavy hydraulic fittings, this cone is a 24° cone.

Overall, the 24° cone is an important feature of metric light and heavy hydraulic fittings and plays a crucial role in the performance, tightness, and efficiency of hydraulic systems.

Metric light vs. heavy, what's the difference?

It is important to note that metric light fittings are suitable for lower pressure requirements, whereas metric heavy fittings are designed for higher pressure demands. When selecting hydraulic fittings, the pressure load of the hydraulic system should therefore be considered to ensure a reliable and secure connection.
