Why Quick Couplers Fail on Hydraulic Breakers: Brinelling, Its Causes and the Fix
Dented locking grooves, play at the joint, repeat replacements: how brinelling destroys quick couplers on breakers and hammers, and how to stop it.
Category: Threaded Flat Face
Threaded flat face couplers provide hydraulic quick connect solutions to applications which experience high pressure impulses or anywhere residual pressure exists or is trapped in a line. Thread to connect design eliminates brinelling and premature wear and tear. Stucchi’s threaded couplings include the VEP Series, the heavy duty VEPHD and a heavy duty locking version, VEPHDL. The VP series features an auto locking sleeve and is popular in applications with high residual pressure.
Stucchi offers threaded hydraulic quick couplings as well as process analysis to help you determine which quick coupler is best for your application.
