Gates Corporation announces the introduction of its patent-pending high-pressure iLok coupling for underground coal mines.
- Intended as alternative to staple-lock couplings
- Connects to longwall mining machinery in seconds and disconnects in under two minutes to save 90% of the labor hours required to move equipment from one coal seam to another
- Disconnects by cutting and removing cable lock and turning swivel nut two and a half times by hand, instead of prying staples loose with crowbars or hammering equipment
- Withstands high impulse applications
- Uses a secure, visible locking system
- Releases residual pressure away from workers during disconnection
- Compact and smooth to prevent snagging and abrasion
- Features Gates TuffCoat Xtreme plating, which provides red rust protection that exceeds the 72-hour SAE standard by 1,000%
