Multi-X is a range of innovative, easy to handle,
multi-plates designed to meet and exceed the demands
of even the most challenging mobile hydraulic applications.
Its innovative design rivals and surpasses other existing
multi-plates on the market. The unique design made with the
user in mind offers you a plate system that provides
great flexibility, high performance, easy installation and
trouble-free operation.
Flexibility
The range consists of six standard configurations,matching the most frequent application needs. The
sizes range for DN 10 to DN 19 combined with two or four ports in each plate. Each plate can also be equipped with an
optional electric connector (available as accessory).
The innovative design allows you to use either part
of the plate system mounted as the fixed part without
compromising the performance. The mounting bracket
is enclosed with the female plate but you can just as
easily use it to install the male plate in the application
instead.
As an extra advantage when you use the male plate as
the fixed part you can connect standard ISO 16028 flatface
couplings to the Multi-X plate, giving you maximum
flexibility to use tools and attachments both with and
without a Multi-X plate.
Performance
The Multi-X design allows you to use a working pressure
up to 35 MPa on half the ports simultaneously and
the rest of the ports as return lines with a maximum of 5
MPa, regardless if you use two or four ports.
The design also offers the possibility to connect the
units with residual pressure.
Residual pressure
1. Up to 35 MPa residual pressure on the male side
when free to drain on the female side.
2. Up to 25 MPa residual pressure on the female side
when free to drain on the male side.
3. Up to 25 MPa residual pressure on the male side and
1 MPa return resistance on the female side.
Connections
The Multi-X range is outfitted with NXC Plug-In hose
connections, making them both easy to assemble and
to connect. Using Plug-In connections provides the
Multi-X range with the same outstanding features as the NXC Range products – self-aligning hose connections
that prolongs hose life, minimizes downtimes
when the need to replace or remove the hose occurs
and its minimal space requirements that allows for more
compact designs.
Each Multi-X plate comes with integrated NXC
cartridges for easy installation. Use the NXC Hose
connection nipples and ferrules to crimp the nipples
directly onto the hose or convert your existing hose to NXC Plug-In with the threaded NXC Nipples.
Operation
The Multi-X is easily operated with one hand on the
lever and one hand guiding the moving plate during
both connection and disconnection. The ergonomical
lever placed perpendicular to the hydraulic lines keeps
the operators hands safe. The locking button secures
the lever when connected and prevents unintentional
disconnection.
All Multi-X male plates are equipped with pressure
eliminator nipples that make it possible to connect
the plates also with residual pressure in the system. By
puncturing the pressure, without spillage, it allows for a
smooth connection even at a high residual pressure (up
to 35 MPa).
The self-aligning NXC connection removes the torsion
in the hose, a common issue when using ordinary
fittings, making it easy to align and connect the plates.
