Pinch sleeve for pressure hoses

A pinch sleeve (10) for connecting a metal-braid-coated pressure hose (14) with a connecting fitting (10) has a tubular metal basic body (40) having a first end towards the connecting fitting (10) and an opposite inlet end. At least in the region of the inlet end, the basic body (40) is fitted with a hollow cylindrical plastic insert (42) reaching at least as far as the inlet end of the basic body (40), the inside diameter of which in its axially inner end section in relation to the basic body corresponds at least approximately to the inside diameter of the basic body (40) which has a section axially connecting with the plastic insert (42). In its axially outer end section, the inside diameter of the plastic insert (42) increases continuously towards the axially outer end to prevent notch effects. The low coefficient of friction of the plastic insert (42) in relation to the metal braid coating of the pressure hose (14) provides a considerably lengthened useful life for a pressure hose (14) subjected to vibration.
