Harvesters and agricultural sprayers
In boom circuits and hydraulic controls exposed to constant vibration and uneven terrain, DKO hydraulic adapters maintain stable sealing, mitigate soil contamination by oil, and reduce corrective interventions. The dual sealing system withstands rapid cycles and pressure spikes typical of field maneuvers, preserving system efficiency.
Tractors and soil preparation implements
In cylinders of reversible plows, leveling harrows, and subsoilers, the 24° profile with O-ring provides a robust connection against impacts and cyclic loads, ensuring precise actuation response. Torque repeatability reduces loosening and sustains productivity during extended working hours.
Dump trucks and road vehicles
During tipping of beds and platforms, DKO connections support safe and continuous operation, maintaining full sealing throughout repetitive cycles. High torque resistance helps preserve assembly integrity after maintenance and routine inspections in road fleets.
Mowers and side sweepers
Exposed to dust, debris, and thermal variations, articulated arm systems benefit from the resilient sealing of the O-ring and conical seat, reducing micro-leaks and maintaining stable pressure. This extends maintenance intervals and optimizes equipment availability.
Presses and compactors
In machines operating under constant high pressure, dual sealing prevents progressive fluid loss that degrades force and speed. The result is a more consistent cycle, lower oil consumption, and better output per hour, especially in continuous industrial operations.

In agricultural hydraulic circuits, sealing failures can stop a harvester in the middle of harvest and generate high maintenance costs. The dual-sealing system with O-ring helps eliminate leaks even under intense vibration and pressure spikes, reducing unplanned downtime and fluid loss by up to 95% when installed according to specification.
The self-centering 24° cone speeds up assembly by up to 40% compared to conventional fittings, reduces rework, and improves torque repeatability.
Helesul DKO (Double Cone O-ring) hydraulic adapters are designed for high-reliability sealing in high-pressure hydraulic systems, combining a self-centering 24° cone and O-ring for consistent performance in agricultural machinery and road applications.
With robust construction, they reduce leaks, simplify assembly, and increase equipment availability even under vibration, intense duty cycles, and harsh environments.
All Helesul hydraulic adapters are manufactured in accordance with ISO, SAE, and DIN standards, ensuring interchangeability, safety, and predictable performance in the field.
