Hydraulic systems rely on dependable hose assemblies that can withstand high pressure, constant motion, and demanding environmental conditions. For decades technicians have used manual and analog crimping methods to create secure connections. These traditional approaches helped establish the foundation of modern hydraulics, but they also came with limitations. Manual measurements, operator variability, and the difficulty of achieving consistent results made precision challenging. The introduction of digital hydraulic hose crimping technology changed the landscape. With digital hose crimper systems and intelligent digital crimping tools, technicians now have access to higher levels of accuracy, repeatability, and safety. These tools integrate software, sensors,... View Article
In industries like construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and fleet maintenance, time is money. Equipment downtime can quickly lead to lost productivity and higher costs. That’s why efficiency, safety, and reliability are critical in every part of your hydraulic or pneumatic system. One simple but often overlooked way to improve performance and reduce downtime is by using quick-connect fittings. At Royal Brass Inc., we’ve spent decades helping technicians, operators, and maintenance professionals streamline their operations with durable, high-quality components. Among these, hydraulic quick couplers have proven to be one of the most effective solutions for keeping systems running smoothly. In this guide,... View Article
In demanding industrial environments, hydraulic and pneumatic hoses face constant threats from friction, vibration, and environmental exposure. Whether they’re used in construction equipment, manufacturing lines, or agricultural machinery, hoses are critical to keeping systems running efficiently. Yet, one of the most common causes of hose failure isn’t internal pressure or fluid leaks: it’s abrasion. At Royal Brass Inc., we understand that even the highest-quality hoses need protection from everyday wear and tear. That’s where hose protection sleeves come in. These anti-abrasion covers are designed to shield hoses from external damage, significantly extending their lifespan and improving overall system reliability. In... View Article
