The ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) Threaded Hydraulic Fitting is a type of connection used in hydraulic systems to ensure a tight and reliable connection. ORFS is a thread standard that uses an O-ring to create a seal between the mating surfaces of the connections, helping to prevent fluid leaks and minimize pressure loss in the system. Initially implemented in the United States, but it has been expanding throughout the world.
The ORFS Threaded Hydraulic Fitting consists of two main parts: the adapter and the hose . The adapter has a male thread with a flat seat on the end where an O-ring is placed, and the hose has a female thread with a flat seat where another O-ring is placed. When the two parts are joined together and properly tightened, the O-rings compress between the mating surfaces, creating a tight seal that prevents fluid leaks.
The ORFS Hydraulic Fitting with thread is used in a wide variety of hydraulic applications, including high pressure systems, being able to work at pressures of up to more than 600 bar, motion control systems, steering systems, braking systems and systems. of transmission. It is widely used in the automotive industry, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and other industrial hydraulic equipment.
ORFS threaded oleohydraulic fittings are made of carbon steel , they withstand a temperature between -20ºC and 120ºC . There are links that combine ORFS threads with others such as BSPP, NPT, JIC/SAE, METRICA, etc. to be able to make all types of splices and adaptations. There is a wide range of accessories with ORFS thread, straight fittings, 45º angled, 90º angled, plugs, adapters, tees, unions, wall grommets, etc.
It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended specifications and installation procedures to ensure proper mounting and reliable performance of the ORFS Threaded Hydraulic Fitting. This may include using proper tools and torques, correctly selecting O-rings, and regularly inspecting connections for leaks or wear.
