Gates has launched the MXG 4K in India, the next generation of premium hydraulics, offering a highly flexible, light weight and compact design for first fit, industrial and automotive replacement markets. <p></p><p>Gates is redefining high-pressure hydraulic performance with the introduction of the MegaSys? MXG? 4K hydraulic hose. Qualified to one million impulse cycles, this highly differentiated hose is a lightweight, compact, highly flexible drop-in replacement for conventional spiral hoses. Gates XtraTuff? Plus cover, a standard upgrade on MXG 4K, offers improved abrasion and ozone resistance, providing improved durability when powering the most demanding fluid power applications. </p><p>"MXG 4K combines our newest materials with Gates' advanced processing technologies to create yet another product that stands out in the market," said <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Haen, Vice President, Global Product Line Management.</span>"Our customers" applications require a lighter weight, more flexible, compact hose; so we tasked our engineers to design a new class of premium hydraulics to exceed the performance typically achieved with wire spiral constructions, but with the lower weight and flexibility driven by Gates next generation wire-braid technology -and they delivered. MXG 4K is truly an industry breakthrough." </p><p>"Truly a multi-use hose, MXG 4K serves smaller and more congested hydraulic systems, helping to improve assembly line speeds and achieve tight routings, while delivering additional abrasion resistance and ozone protection," said <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cindy Cookson, Director of Global Product Line Management for Hydraulics.</span> </p><p></p>
