LifeSense
Introducing Eaton’s LifeSense™ a patented hydraulic hose condition monitoring technology. LifeSense™ monitors the health of hydraulic hose assemblies. As the hose assembly approaches the end of its useful life, LifeSense™ detects events occurring within the hose that have been shown to lead to failure and notifies the designated individual that the hose needs to be replaced. This notification is provided with enough time to replace the hose during planned maintenance prior to failure thus saving downtime, clean-up costs, environmental damage and potential injury.
LifeSense hose continues to be recognized as a game-changing, new technology. The latest evidence is a Gold King Award as “one of industry’s best new products of the year“ in the fluid/pneumatic power category of the annual King Awards competition conducted by New Equipment Digest Magazine. The King Awards, named after the magazine’s long-time chief editor Bob King, were established to recognize superior industrial product innovation. View Article
