The MegaSys MXG 4K hydraulic hose from Gates, a global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, is a lightweight, compact, highly flexible drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses. Qualified to one million impulse cycles, the highly differentiated hose is suitable for applications that require a lighter weight, more flexible and compact hose.

The MXG 4K represents a new class of premium hydraulics that exceed the performance achieved with wire spiral constructions. Gates' next-generation wire-braid technology provides flexibility and lower weight.

The MXG 4K exceeds industry standards for bend radius and impulse life, performing to one million impulse cycles at high temperatures (121º C/250º F). Other attributes include:

• 40% more flexible than conventional spiral hoses, reducing the amount of force needed to properly route, allowing for faster and more ergonomic installation
• 30% lighter which improves equipment performance, material handling, installation and ergonomics
• 8% more compact, on average, providing an easier fit that also enables upsizing hose selection for increased power

The XtraTuff Plus cover, a standard upgrade on MXG 4K, is engineered to be 25 times more abrasion resistant than Gates' standard cover and ozone resistant, passing a rigorous 800-hour ozone test. Its improved durability holds up to demanding fluid power applications.

MXG 4K is compliant with and exceeds ISO 18752 280DC and SAE 100R19 requirements, exceeds the performance criteria of SAE 100R12, EN 856 R12, and ISO 3862 R12; size 16 hose also exceeds EN 856 4SP ratings.
