3 Ausgabe 6/7–2023 the start of 2023, and is also a member of the Management Board of the international Stauff Group. “We can offer our customers a leak-tightness guarantee because all the com- ponents are perfectly matched to each other. ” It was on this basis that the Stauff Line range was developed: on request, Stauff can be brought in as a contact and solution provider for all as- pects that need to be considered in the design and realisation of hydraulic line systems. The be- nefits of this cooperation go far beyond the benefits of single sourcing for OEMs. “Connect with Stauff” Machinery and plant – mo- bile or stationary – is being tailored in much more detail to very specific applications. The requirements governing the hydraulics and hydraulic line system differ correspondingly. “This dialogue with our cus- tomers and resellers is a key pillar of how we see ourselves as a solution provider: Ideally, we will be involved in the deve- lopment process of a hydraulic system right from the start. ” In Dr. Joachim’s view, this is al- so behind the “Connect with Stauff” slogan that the com- pany first launched at the Hanover Trade Fair in 2023. “We are innovation leaders because we address our cus- tomers’ challenges and work with them to find new solutions or further develop existing concepts. ” New range of flat-face screw- to-connect couplings At the express request of ma - nufacturers of large demoli- tion excavators, a new series of flat-face screw-to-connect couplings was developed to connect hydraulic hoses. Due to their robustness, their use is also recommended for other construction and agricultural machinery. The concept, based on which the predecessor model was also designed, has already proved itself in the market for over ten years: hose lines that need to withstand extreme vibrations and pressure peaks are connected with screw couplings instead of push-to-connect cou- plings. This results in a more uniform dis - tribution of all the forces involved. Users now also wanted the ability two connect both sides of couplings un- der residual pressure as well as higher flow rates and lower coupling forces. The new QRC-FG range meets all these criteria. Thinking economically, exploiting potential savings Stauff products are technically flawless and guarantee leak- free line connections that can withstand extreme loads, yet are also produced and sold at a cost-effective price. Dr. Joachim stresses: “Engi- neering is not an end in itself. If a customer approaches Stauff with their special requirements or specifications, we can react quickly and assess whether there is a meaningful solution, whether it will have an impact on the price or will be more ex- pensive, and what alternatives we can offer. ” The standard range is also constantly reviewed for the potential to save manufactu- ring costs, but not at any price. “In all cases, we need to main- tain the performance of the product. ” Stauff Form Evo An example of this is the re- launch of the forming system to connect tubes under extreme conditions. Stauff Form has enjoyed international success since it was launched in 2015. The first generation was fitted Stauff offers OEMs a leak-tightness guarantee as all components come from its in-house development and production and are perfectly matched to each other. All steel components have the special Stauff zinc/nickel surface coating for exceptional corrosion protection. HYDRAULIK
