Deep-drawn aluminum sleeve

The Deep-drawn aluminum sleeve (Reference: 106011) represents an essential technical solution for all industrial connection professionals. Specifically designed to optimize the crimping process of flexible hoses, this sleeve guarantees a perfect mechanical connection between the hose and its terminal fitting.

Professional crimping applications and advantages

This deep-drawn sleeve finds application in numerous industrial sectors where hydraulic connection reliability is crucial. It is perfectly suited to mobile hydraulic installations, industrial pneumatic circuits, fluid transfer systems and agricultural applications. Its design provides perfect sealing while maintaining the flexibility necessary for hose movement.

The main advantage lies in its ability to evenly distribute crimping pressure over the entire circumference of the hose. This homogeneous distribution avoids stress concentration points that could compromise the long-term integrity of the assembly.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured from industrial-grade aluminum, this sleeve benefits from the exceptional properties of this material: lightness, corrosion resistance and excellent thermal conductivity. Aluminum also has the advantage of being compatible with most industrial fluids, whether hydraulic oils, water, compressed air or numerous chemicals.

The cold stamping process used for manufacturing gives the sleeve a dense crystalline structure and increased mechanical resistance. This forming technique provides very precise dimensions and perfect repeatability from one piece to another.

The available diameter range extends from DN25 to DN100, thus covering the most common needs in industrial connection. This dimensional range allows processing both small pilot lines and main pipes of hydraulic circuits.

Implementation and crimping procedure

Using this deep-drawn sleeve requires appropriate crimping tools and adherence to a rigorous procedure. Before installation, it is essential to verify compatibility between the hose outer diameter and the sleeve inner diameter.

The process begins with inserting the hose into the fitting until the planned stop. The sleeve is then positioned on the smooth part of the fitting, ensuring it completely covers the hose-fitting overlap zone. Crimping is then performed progressively, applying evenly distributed pressure.

It is recommended to visually inspect the assembly after crimping to ensure no abnormal deformation. A pressure test can be performed to validate connection sealing before final commissioning.

For preventive maintenance, simply regularly inspect the sleeve surface condition and verify the absence of corrosion traces or excessive wear, although aluminum is naturally resistant to these phenomena.
