TUBE AND TUBE FITTINGS

WALTERSCHEID with its wide range and innovative products over the years are a leading Global supplier of hydraulic tube connectors and fittings for the mobile and stationary markets.

WALPRO
Owing to its ideal shape, the WALPRO fitting ensures safe and tight tube connection. During assembly of the WALPRO fitting, the two cutting edges of the WALPRO ring penetrate into the tube creating a safe connection. At the same time, the cone of the nut deforms the profiled cutting ring shoulder so that the tube is tightly clamped and able to absorb bending stresses. Radial and axial sealing is assumed by the ring’s being wedge between tubes and fitting body. A progressively increasing tightening torque guarantees high safety of assembly. WALPRO fittings can be disassembled and reassembled as often as necessary.

WALFORM
Walform is a positive tube fitting system that consists of just three components. The mechanically reshaped tube end is positively connected by a conventional DIN fitting body and a DIN nut, the only possible leakage path being sealed off by an elastomer ring. One characteristic feature of the new series is the shoulder on the end face of the reshaped tube which is inserted into the 24° cone of the body. This results in a marked improvement in assembly behavior and good protection against excessive tightening.

As a result of the positive fit, WALFORM guarantees reliable tube retention, even under high dynamic loads. The assembly process is simple and practical, can be carried out by anyone and substantially reduces costs. Additional savings can be derived from the fact that pre-assembly and other auxiliary operations are unnecessary. Moreover, the small number of components reduces material and logistics costs.
