Flexible coolant hoses deliver extra snap
FH system allows universal direction of lubricating/cooling jet
Even when put to the test under harsh, vibration-prone environments, says Elesa, its FH flexible coolant hoses maintain stability, with maximum flexibility, due to their high-quality design.
The hoses are made using snap assembly of individual tube segments, ensuring universal direction of the lubricating/cooling jet, and the length of each tube can be adapted to specific applications by adding or removing the appropriate number of elements via the snap-fitting feature.
Fits all types of machine tools
“This Elesa FH system fits all types of machine tools where fluids need to be directed onto a workpiece for material removal and finishing, such as cutting, grinding, broaching, tapping, turning or polishing,” it adds. “Situations where the FH system is suitable for distribution of oils, lubricants, cutting fluids, polishing liquids or cleaning fluids.”
A typical example cited would be in surface treatment processes for washing off of chemicals where the modular jets and fan sprays may be installed with a magnetic base and ball valve to allow placement wherever required with independent flow rate adjustment. “Quick, simple manual adjustment can then ensure effective liquid delivery and adjustment to suit changes in production.”
Clip-together segments
FH hoses are available in ¼ in or ½ in bore sizes, with matching components, and are readily shortened or extended, as each segment clips together to ensure liquids can be quickly and accurately directed where needed. They are suitable for a maximum input pressure of 4 bar.
