EN 857 2SC Hydraulic Hose

Product Overview

The EN 857 2SC hydraulic hose represents a specialized evolution in wire braided hose technology, designed explicitly for modern machinery where installation space is at a premium. Officially defined by the EN 857 2SC standard, this hose is a compact version of the widely used EN 853 2SN. Its primary distinction lies in a significantly smaller outside diameter, making it the ideal high pressure hose for equipment with compact and narrow piping layouts. As a professional hydraulic hose manufacturer in China, we supply this solution to meet the most demanding spatial constraints without compromising on performance.

Constructed from three precision-engineered layers, this rubber hose is built for durability and reliability. The tube is crafted from an oil, abrasion, and corrosion-resistant synthetic rubber, ensuring safe transport of petroleum-based hydraulic fluids across a wide working temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The reinforcement consists of two layers of high tensile braided steel wires, providing exceptional resistance to high pressure. This robust construction guarantees excellent performance in demanding high-pressure working conditions. The outer cover, made from high-quality synthetic rubber, shields the hose from abrasion, corrosion, weather, ozone, aging, sunlight, and cuts, ensuring a long service life and making it a reliable high pressure hose for various applications.

This high pressure hose is primarily used in construction equipment (like mini-excavators and skid-steer loaders), material handling machinery, and robotics where space is restricted. It directly solves the core industry pain point of routing powerful hydraulic lines through tight bends and narrow channels, a challenge where standard hoses often fail due to their larger size and reduced flexibility. We offer comprehensive service and support, ensuring that every hose assembly we provide meets the highest quality standards. Our commitment is backed by rigorous testing and adherence to international norms, guaranteeing a product you can trust.

Product Advantages

• Space-Saving Design: The compact outside diameter allows for easy installation in confined spaces, tight bend radii, and complex machinery layouts where standard hoses cannot fit. This is the core benefit of the EN 857 2SC standard.

• High Pressure Performance: Despite its slim profile, the two layers of high tensile braided steel wires deliver exceptional working pressure and a minimum burst pressure that is four times the working pressure, ensuring a robust safety margin.

• Superior Durability: The high-quality synthetic rubber tube and cover provide excellent resistance to abrasion, oil, weather, and ozone, significantly extending the hose’s operational life and reducing replacement costs.

• Excellent Flexibility: The optimized wire braiding technique ensures the hose remains highly flexible, simplifying the hose assembly process and reducing stress on fittings and connections.

Applicable Users: This product is ideal for engineers and procurement specialists in the construction, agricultural, and industrial automation sectors, specifically those designing or maintaining compact equipment like small loaders, robotic arms, and mobile hydraulics.

Structure and Materials

• Tube: Oil and abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber. This layer ensures compatibility with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, maintaining media purity and minimizing flow resistance within the working temperature range.

• Reinforcement: Two layers of high tensile braided steel wires. This provides the fundamental high pressure resistance, differentiating it from single wire braid hoses (like EN 853 1SN) and making it suitable for demanding applications.

• Cover: Abrasion, corrosion, weather, ozone, aging, sunlight, and cut-resistant synthetic rubber. This robust outer layer protects the reinforcement from environmental damage, ensuring a longer service life and reliable operation in harsh conditions.

Application Industries

Key Application Scenarios

• Construction Machinery: Ideal for mini-excavators, compact loaders, skid-steer loaders, and small concrete pumps where space is limited.

• Agricultural Equipment: Used in tractors, harvesters, and sprayers for auxiliary hydraulic functions and tight routing.

• Material Handling: Perfect for fork lifts, pallet trucks, and lift tables requiring durable yet compact hoses.

• Industrial Robotics: Suitable for hydraulic power units and manipulators where hoses must bend tightly and fit within machine frames.

• Mobile Hydraulics: General application in trucks, cranes, and other mobile equipment with confined installation spaces.

Precise Selection Professional Guide

EN 857 2SC vs. EN 853 2SN vs. SAE 100R16
The EN 857 2SC is frequently compared to its counterpart, the EN 853 2SN. While both have two wire braid reinforcements, the key difference is the compact OD of the 2SC. For users searching for an “en 857 2sc equivalent” or “sae 100 r16 en 857 2sc,” it is important to note that SAE 100R16 shares similar compact dimensions and performance requirements. Therefore, EN 857 2SC and SAE 100R16 are generally considered interchangeable, making our hose a versatile solution for both standards. This is a critical consideration for those with multinational equipment.

Hose Assembly & Fittings
To maximize performance, we recommend using our EN 857 2SC hose with compatible crimped fittings. The compact OD allows for the use of smaller, standard fittings, saving even more space. We offer complete hose assembly services, including cutting, skiving (if required), crimping, and pressure testing, ensuring a leak-proof and reliable final product. We also supply reusable fittings, adapters, flanges, and protective sleeves to provide a complete system solution.

Industry Pain Point Solutions

• Problem: Frequent hose failure in compact loader arm pivot points due to tight bending and abrasion.

• Solution: Our EN 857 2SC hydraulic hose, with its smaller minimum bend radius and abrasion-resistant cover, is specifically engineered for this challenge, reducing installation stress and extending service life.

• Problem: Difficulty routing hoses through the boom of a small excavator.

• Solution: The compact OD of our EN 857 2SC hose allows it to pass through narrow passages where a standard 2SN hose would not fit, simplifying Assembly and reducing modification costs.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Guide

• Storage: Store hoses in a cool, dark, and dry environment, away from ozone sources (like electric motors) and direct sunlight. Use protective caps to prevent contamination.

• Installation: Avoid twisting the hose during installation. Use the correct crimped fittings and ensure the minimum bend radius is never exceeded, especially near the fittings. Use protective sleeves or guards in areas of high abrasion.

• Operation: Operate within the specified working pressure and temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). Avoid sudden pressure spikes that exceed the working pressure.

• Maintenance: Regularly inspect hoses for signs of wear, cuts, cover blistering, or leaks at the fittings. Replace any damaged hose immediately.
