No-Skive hydraulic hose assembly

No‑Skive means you don't have to skive (remove the outer cover of) the hydraulic hose before crimping. With matching hoses, fittings and crimping tools you get a faster, cleaner and more reliable assembly – ideal for service work and series production.

Why choose No‑Skive for hydraulics?

  • Less risk of damage: No skiving = no accidental damage to the inner tube.
  • Time savings: Faster preparation, no clearing up of rubber shavings.
  • Durability: The outer cover stays intact and protects the reinforcement against corrosion.
  • Consistent quality: A matched system (hose + fitting + tool) gives repeatable, leak-free crimping.
  • Lower total cost: No skiving equipment, fewer process steps and less wasted time.

Hymatik supplies Parker No‑Skive solutions, including Parkrimp and Interlok systems, with a wide range for mobile and industrial applications.

FAQ

What is the difference between No‑Skive and skive/skive-free solutions?

No‑Skive requires no removal of the outer cover. This reduces the number of process steps and the risk of damaging the inner tube.

Is No‑Skive suitable for high pressure?

Yes, depending on the hose series chosen. Parker GlobalCore covers several pressure classes to ISO 18752.

Can I mix hoses and fittings from different manufacturers?

This is not recommended. Use matched Parker components and Parkrimp tools to ensure the correct crimp and to maintain warranties. Read more about using hoses and fittings from the same manufacturer.
