To ensure reliable performance, pneumatic hoses must be resistant to abrasion, temperature changes, and working pressure. Flexibility is also important. The selection should take into account not only the hose’s length and diameter but also the material and compatibility with pneumatic tools.
Pneumatic hoses - reliable connections in pneumatic systems
A properly selected pneumatic hose ensures stable working pressure, minimizes air loss, and extends the lifespan of the entire system. Depending on the application, several basic types of hoses can be distinguished (also available in your product range):
- Spiral pneumatic hoses - compact, ideal for car services where limited space requires the hose to retract after disconnection.
- Straight air hoses - provide high air flow, used in stationary systems and demanding pneumatic setups.
- Retractable pneumatic hoses - convenient to use, prevent tangling, commonly used in service stations and production lines.
- Polyester-braided hoses - enhanced resistance to mechanical damage, recommended for industrial use and harsh environments.
- Winter air hoses - hybrid hoses that remain flexible even at temperatures as low as -20°C.
Types of pneumatic hoses vary in flexibility, durability, and working pressure, so it’s important to select the right model based on application specifics.
Types of pneumatic hoses - which are worth offering?
There is no universal pneumatic hose that fits all applications. The right choice depends on the material, working pressure, temperature range, and internal/external diameter.
Main materials used for pneumatic hoses
- Polyurethane (PU) - very flexible, abrasion- and kink-resistant, ideal for car services and industrial automation.
- PVC - highly resistant to wear, bending, and mechanical damage.
Diameters and lengths of pneumatic hoses
The inner diameter of the hose affects airflow and tool efficiency. Common sizes include 8x5 mm, 12x8 mm, and 16x12 mm, with larger variants also available.
- Spiral hoses - typically available in lengths from 5 to 15 meters.
- Straight hoses - up to 50 meters, depending on application.
- Hose reels - most commonly 10-15 meters long.
Choosing the right diameter and length ensures stable pressure, consistent performance, and trouble-free tool operation. Offer hoses that match your customers’ work environments and most common tasks.
Key features of good pneumatic hoses
Quality air hoses ensure reliable operation of the entire pneumatic system. Important features include:
- Abrasion and bend resistance - essential in demanding car service conditions for long-lasting performance.
- Flexibility - enables easy use without risking kinks or restricted airflow.
- Temperature range - most hoses operate between -20°C and +75°C.
- Working pressure - standard hoses withstand 6-10 bar.
- Connection type - couplings with reinforcing springs minimize disconnection risk.
- Chemical resistance - important in setups exposed to oils, greases, or chemicals.
A well-selected hose offers system stability, prevents air loss, and extends pneumatic tool life. This helps your customers reduce operating costs and maintain efficient work.
Summary
A pneumatic hose is a key element of efficient and reliable operation in pneumatic systems.
Most important selection criteria:
- Material - e.g. polyurethane or PVC
- Abrasion and bend resistance - essential in tough conditions
- Temperature range - suited to the environment
- Working pressure - matched to the system
- Diameter and length - impact airflow and ease of use
A properly chosen hose means safe and effective work, with no pressure drops or unplanned downtime. Investing in the right hose pays off in the long-term durability of the entire pneumatic system.
