Then, Josh Cosford returns for a Fluid Power World webinar on June 24 at 2 p.m., with his presentation on “Making Safe and Reliable Hydraulic Hose Assemblies.”
A hydraulic machine is nothing without a hydraulic hose. Hydraulic hoses are the critical arteries of a system, and without mindful construction of hose assemblies, you risk complete failure. This webinar covers the tactics to create a safe and reliable hydraulic hose assembly, from hose selection to crimping and everything in between.
Cosford is Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Higginson Equipment in Burlington, Ontario. He studied fluid power at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. He has more than 15-years of experience with fluid power systems, and has held the Certified Fluid Power Hydraulic Specialist designation from the Fluid Power Society since 2009.
