About HEL brake steel hose, all you want to know is here!

Before introducing the HEL brake steel hose, let us first understand the position of the brake pipe in the brake system, and know what role the brake pipe plays in the brake system.

In the braking system, the driver presses the brake pedal to push the master cylinder to compress, and the brake oil is sent to the brake cylinder (caliper or drum brake) through the tubing. The piston is pushed to hold the brake pad against the brake disc. The tire and the ground Friction can also occur to slow down the vehicle and complete a braking process. It can be seen that the brake pipe plays a role in transmitting hydraulic oil and, like a blood vessel, delivers blood energy to organs. People can't live without blood vessels and the car doesn't brake. Although the brake pipe is small, the effect is great.

       First of all, talk about the shortcomings of the original vehicle rubber tubing:

       Although the elasticity of the rubber tubing is within an acceptable range, in fact, when the brake oil is in effect, the rubber tubing will still expand to a certain degree, and therefore it will absorb some of the brake oil pressure. This situation becomes more apparent as the pressure increases. Therefore, in many emergency situations, the brakes were heavily stressed, but the brakes were found to be the same. This was caused by the instantaneous expansion of the brake pipe.

       In addition, the ordinary rubber tubing has poor high temperature resistance. When the brake oil is under high temperature and high pressure, it can easily cause the tubing to rupture. The brake failure will affect the safety of driving! In particular, after a long period of use, rubber pipes with poor weatherability are oxidized, embrittled and hardened, and the probability of cracking is greatly increased.

Now we are talking about refitting the brake steel hose. The internal piping of the steel hose is made of elastic polymer Teflon (PTFE). In order to suppress the elasticity of Teflon, the expansion is completely improved. The outer layer is woven and wrapped with a stainless steel mesh so that each metal tube is soft and does not swell due to pressure, and it can resist damage caused by external forces.

It is because of these deficiencies of rubber tubing that the birth of steel throats was promoted. In materials, the Teflon used in the brake steel hose is used as the inner tube. This kind of material has excellent high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, almost insoluble in any solvent, and has a very low coefficient of friction. It can be used as a lubricant itself. The use of it to improve the strength while further improving the efficiency of liquid transfer can be described as extreme.

        The middle layer is wrapped with stainless steel mesh. The advantage of this configuration is that when you use the brake, the brake master cylinder's pressure on the brake oil will be completely transmitted to the brake caliper at the same time, offsetting the expansion caused by the rubber tubing. To zero, the brake's sensitivity also increases. In addition, the stainless steel mesh is also more conducive to heat dissipation, which can effectively reduce the brake oil temperature. The outermost layer is then wrapped in fireproof and dustproof PVC to further strengthen its firmness and durability.

In terms of interface, the optimized design can provide first-class sealing performance under complex application environments (such as severe swing, sudden temperature change and different subsequent environments), and the material is also machined from stainless steel CNC, with special coatings to enhance its durability.

In general, the steel throat can significantly improve the soft feeling of the foot, making the brake response more sensitive and delicate. At the same time, it is more resistant to heat and corrosion and ensures safety even under harsh driving conditions.

British HEL Performance is a well-known British supplier of components for brake oil circuits and cooling oil circuits. The business is currently spread all over the world, and now the business has expanded beyond 68 countries around the world. Because HEL uses high-quality raw materials and stringent inspection standards, its business is constantly spreading to the world.

        HEL's predecessor was a merger of two companies, previously known as Hose-Equip. Hose-Equip was founded in 1985. Due to its good quality and service methods in the marine and hydraulic markets, Hose-Equip has made rapid progress in this area and gained a reputation quickly. In 2000, the company transferred the market and acquired the largest fluid performance equipment company in the market at that time. With the Hose Equip Limited performance brand of Hose Equipment Co., Ltd., the world-famous demon symbol came into being.
