Lock on couplings

The range of lock on couplings available at MecaIndus comprises quick-connect devices designed for low-pressure hydraulic circuits. These components, designed by the brand Gates Hydraulics, allow secure installation of hoses on fixed or mobile equipment without requiring heavy crimping tooling. They provide sealing suitable for common hydraulic fluids and facilitate maintenance operations or rapid replacement of transfer lines in demanding industrial environments.

About Lock-On Couplings

Lock on couplings represent a relevant technical solution within our offering dedicated to hydraulic connectivity. They are used in configurations where assembly speed is paramount, while integrating into environments including a variety of hydraulic accessories or complementary crimping equipment. The selection of these fittings must be based on a precise analysis of the working pressure, the compatibility of the materials with the conveyed fluid, as well as the nature of the crimp ends or associated adapters.

Selecting the appropriate model requires consideration of the internal diameter of the hose and the operating conditions, including temperature and the frequency of pressure cycles. To ensure system consistency, fluid circulation diagrams must comply with the standardised design principles set out in ISO 1219. In addition to mounting interfaces compliant with ISO 4401 that may be present on associated hydraulic components, these Gates Hydraulics fittings provide a reliable solution for maintaining circuit integrity. Examining adjacent product categories, such as washing accessories or various hydraulic components, makes it possible to optimise the entire installation in line with the technical constraints specific to the operating site.
