The Hose Mandrel is a shaping and support tool inserted into the internal bore of a hydraulic hose during fabrication, forming, or assembly stages. It preserves the roundness and dimensional integrity of the hose while performing other operations such as crimping, bending, or expanding. By maintaining the correct inner diameter and preventing flattening or deformation, the mandrel ensures that fittings can be accurately inserted and securely sealed.Attributes:• Inserted inside the hose to maintain internal roundness• Prevents hose collapse during forming and crimping.• Supports internal structure during assembly operations.Applications: The Hose Mandrel is inserted into the hose bore during forming or assembly to maintain internal diameter and prevent deformation during crimping, bending, or other operations.
