A FFX90-08-08 | 1/2" Hose x 1/2" ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) swivel is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 1/2" inside diameter and an ORFS swivel fitting with a 1/2" size. The ORFS swivel fitting has a flat face with an O-ring seal that mates with a corresponding flat face on the male fitting, providing a reliable seal in high-pressure hydraulic applications. This hydraulic fitting features 90 degree angled fittings, which allows the hose to be routed in a perpendicular direction to the male fitting. This is useful for applications where space is limited or where a particular hose routing is required.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
The standard for hydraulic fittings is typically governed by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Common standards include ISO 8434 for metallic tube connections and SAE J516 for hydraulic hose fittings, which ensure compatibility, reliability, and safety in hydraulic systems.
Swivel fittings seal primarily through the use of O-rings or other gasket materials that create a tight, leak-proof seal between the rotating and stationary parts of the fitting. As the fitting swivels, the O-ring maintains contact with both surfaces, preventing fluid from escaping. The design ensures that even under pressure, the seal remains intact while allowing for rotational movement.
Swivel connectors work by allowing two connected components to rotate around a central axis, providing flexibility and preventing twisting or tangling of cables, hoses, or other linked parts. They typically consist of two main parts: a stationary component and a rotating component, connected through a bearing or similar mechanism that facilitates smooth rotation. This design helps maintain the integrity and functionality of the connected components while accommodating movement and orientation changes.
The flat face with an O-ring seal on the ORFS swivel fitting ensures a reliable seal when connected to a corresponding flat face on the male fitting, which is essential for maintaining leak-free connections in high-pressure hydraulic applications. This feature is a key component of 90 degree swivel hose connectors.
Hose fittings come in various types, including quick-connect fittings, which allow for easy attachment and detachment; barbed fittings, which are used with clamps to secure hoses; and compression fittings, which create a tight seal using a nut and ferrule. Other types include camlock fittings, used for quick coupling and decoupling, and push-to-connect fittings, which provide a simple and secure connection without tools. Each type is designed for specific applications and compatibility with different hose materials and sizes.
