1CG4 DIN Adapter for High-Pressure Systems​

Product Overview

The 1CG4 DIN Adapter represents a premium solution for high-pressure hydraulic systems requiring reliable connections that adhere to strict European standards. As part of the DIN 2353 fitting family, this adapter is specifically engineered as a light-duty variant designed to bridge different hydraulic components while maintaining system integrity. Its precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance in applications where pressure stability and leak resistance are critical factors. The 1CG4 adapter has become a staple in industrial hydraulic systems worldwide, valued for its interchangeability and compliance with international standards that facilitate global equipment compatibility.

Product Features

Material & Corrosion Resistance

Constructed from high-quality 45# carbon steel, the 1CG4 DIN Adapter offers an optimal balance of strength and machinability. The surface undergoes a trivalent chromate treatment, which provides exceptional corrosion resistance and extends service life in harsh environments. This treatment has been verified through 96-hour salt spray testing, ensuring the adapter can withstand exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements commonly encountered in industrial settings.

Pressure Rating & Design

As a light-duty DIN 2353 adapter, the 1CG4 is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 4,000 PSI (276 bar), making it suitable for a wide range of medium to high-pressure applications. It features a 24° metric male cone design that creates a secure metal-to-metal seal when mated with compatible female fittings, minimizing the risk of leakage even under pressure fluctuations. The adapter's compact design allows for installation in space-constrained environments without compromising performance.

Dimensional Range & Interchangeability

The 1CG4 DIN Adapter is available in sizes ranging from M12 x 1.5 to M52 x 2, providing versatility for different system configurations. A key advantage of this adapter is its interchangeability with industry equivalents, including compatibility with Fluiconnecto A501111 fittings. This interchangeability simplifies maintenance and replacement processes, reducing downtime and inventory costs for end-users.

Applications

Industrial Hydraulic Systems

The 1CG4 DIN Adapter is widely used in factory automation systems, hydraulic power units, and machine tool applications. Its reliable performance makes it suitable for precision hydraulic circuits in metal processing, plastic injection molding, and material handling equipment where consistent pressure control is essential for product quality and process efficiency.

Mobile Equipment

In the mobile hydraulics sector, this adapter finds application in medium-duty construction vehicles, utility trucks, and material handling equipment. Its compact design and reliable sealing performance make it ideal for use in hydraulic steering systems, lift mechanisms, and auxiliary hydraulic circuits that operate under varying pressure conditions.

Renewable Energy Systems

With the growing demand for clean energy, the 1CG4 DIN Adapter has become increasingly important in renewable energy applications, including hydraulic systems for wind turbines and solar panel positioning mechanisms. Its corrosion resistance and reliable performance ensure uninterrupted operation in remote locations with harsh environmental conditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between 1CG and 1DG DIN adapters?

The primary difference lies in their pressure ratings and design specifications. The 1CG4 is a light-duty adapter rated for up to 4,000 PSI, while 1DG adapters are heavy-duty variants rated for higher pressures up to 6,000 PSI. Additionally, 1DG adapters feature a smaller tube outer diameter compared to 1CG models, which affects their compatibility with different hose sizes and system configurations.

Is the 1CG4 DIN Adapter compatible with JIS standard fittings?

Direct compatibility between DIN and JIS fittings is not guaranteed due to differences in thread designs and sealing mechanisms. While both standards aim for reliable hydraulic connections, their dimensional specifications differ. For systems requiring connection between DIN and JIS components, we recommend using a transition adapter specifically designed to bridge these standards, ensuring proper sealing and pressure performance.

What hydraulic fluids can be used with the 1CG4 adapter?

The 1CG4 DIN Adapter is compatible with most common hydraulic fluids, including mineral oil-based fluids, water-glycol mixtures, and synthetic hydraulic fluids. However, it is important to verify compatibility with specific fluid formulations, especially when using aggressive or high-temperature fluids. For applications involving phosphate ester fluids, we recommend consulting our technical team for material recommendations.

How should the 1CG4 DIN Adapter be installed?

Proper installation requires clean threads and mating surfaces to ensure a reliable seal. The adapter should be tightened to the recommended torque specifications using a calibrated torque wrench. It is important to avoid over-tightening, which can damage threads or distort the sealing surfaces. For best results, we recommend using a thread lubricant compatible with the hydraulic fluid and ensuring proper alignment before final tightening.

What maintenance procedures are recommended for the 1CG4 adapter?

Regular visual inspections for signs of leakage, corrosion, or physical damage are essential. The adapter should be checked during routine system maintenance, with special attention to areas near threaded connections. If corrosion is detected, the affected area should be cleaned and inspected for thread damage. In hydraulic systems with frequent pressure cycles, periodic torque checks are recommended to ensure connections remain secure. Any adapter showing signs of significant wear or damage should be replaced immediately to prevent system failure.
