Gates India to launch Megasys Hose System, a system with specialised hydraulic hose assemblies and connectors with cutting edge leak free technology. The Megasys technology is available in all the terminations and is already launched in the OEM segment in ORFS termination in the manufacturing of Backhoe’s for Mahindra & Mahindra and Ashok Leyland John Deere. Gates team of engineers worked closely with the machine designers and the project team to provide optimised routing of all hydraulic lines, offering high flexibility, endurance and long leak free performance resulting in a cumulative 20,000 hours performance in harsh conditions even before the launch. This also resulted in significant decrease in the number of hydraulic connections and reduced pressure drop contributing to better energy efficiency. The uniqueness of Megasys® Hose system lies in the fact that it provides complete solutions. The main components of this hose system are Megasys Hoses and Megacrimp® couplings. Megasys hoses are specialised Gates constant pressure hoses which last 3 times longer than any ordinary hose system. The superior technology of Megasys hoses is attributed to its High Impulse design,1/3 SAE Bend radius, Leak free Fittings and abrasion resistant covers.
Megasys® hoses are used with its exceptional partner the Megacrimp® couplings, these couplings have the Gates patented c- insert with bite the wire crimp for excellent coupling retention. This versatile coupling has a Full- Torque NutTM design along with a full stem insertion and full length crimp. This coupling is also fully qualified by EN performance standards.

The environmentally friendly Tuff Coat plating for 500 per cent better corrosion resistance makes the use of any other coupling a compromise before Megacrimp Couplings. These Gates hoses and couplings make a special Gates interface technology which is unbeaten by anyone else in the industry.
After the successful launch of Megasys® hose system for original equipment manufacturers, Gates is planning to launch it in the aftermarket through a series of launches.
