New Pipe Cutting Ring Offers Maximum Leak Protection

VOSS Fluid has developed a new patented cutting ring system: the VOSSRingM with VOSSRing pre-assembly stud. The solution provides a maximum of leakage protection and effectively prevents installation errors on pipe connections in hydraulic systems. The required physical effort is reduced to an absolute minimum.

The new cutting ring solution from VOSS Fluid GmbH gives users a maximum of reliability, pressure load capacity, and quality: the VOSSRingM guarantees the best possible cut on all steel and stainless steel pipes. The ring”s material, geometry, and technical characteristics are designed for maximum pressure and dynamic load capacity up to 800 bar. Several features that for instance prevent flange damage or pipe slippage give the ring above average customer benefits. VOSS also developed an ingenious installation solution that provides a maximum of process reliability even with high staff turnover: the VOSSRing pre-assembly stud. This feature makes installation simple yet highly accurate. The tool blocks further travel with a dead stop as soon as the ring has traveled the ideal pre-assembly distance. The dramatic increase in force tells the installer that the end location of the pre-assembly has been reached – unintended excess installation is therefore not possible.

In addition to the dead stop functionality, the solution provides enough clearance to perform a finish cut on the ring during final installation. Leakage-proof and process-reliable repetitive installations are the result. At the same time, the VOSSRing pre-assembly stud simplifies the work of installers: the final installation travel is reduced from 90° to 30°, reducing the required clearance during installation and cutting the physical effort approximately in half.

VOSS Fluid will present the new cutting ring system for the first time at the HANOVER TRADE FAIR, Germany, in Hall 21, Booth D39.
