Eaton LifeSense® Hydraulic Hose Condition Monitoring Know the moment your hose needs attention.

Innovation through Partnership. Eaton initiated a research project in partnership with Purdue University to effectively address the issue of hydraulic hose failure. The project sought to identify measurable, structural phenomena associated with hose deterioration over time, and develop the required technology to monitor them accurately. Our joint research determined that hydraulic hose failure is the final step in a consistent process that can be measured and therefore monitored to provide a reliable indication of an approaching end-of-life condition.
