Productivity Parameters

Employing the right equipment for the right application is important in its productive utilisation in a project. So, it is imperative to follow the productivity parameters while selecting an equipment.

Advances in hydraulics making machines smarter

Boom control has continued to improve in general, but precision boom movement still has room to advance. A significant step forward in boom control uses load feedback from pressure sensors to change how the machine reacts to various operator inputs.

This year, our focus is on the earthmoving segment

The current scenario seems encouraging with the construction equipment industry seeing considerable growth this year. With investments in infrastructure growth set to go up, the demand for construction equipment is set to rise further. We are already witnessing good growth from both earthmoving and road construction segments, especially from platforms like excavators and loaders.

Aligned with CE Growth

High pressure, large diameter and volumetric capacity hoses fitted with appropriately speced fittings and protection covering are key ingredients for heavy construction and mining machinery. Such hoses have endured extreme usage under adverse to poor operating cycles and environment.

Hydraulic Motors & Valves

Motors and control valves are essential components of any hydraulically operated machine as they are instrumental in creating the required motion. To explain it simply through an analogy with the human body, motors can be compared to our limbs and control valves to our brain.

Fuelonomics Drive Developments

Eaton has competitive offerings in practically all segments

Eaton hydraulic products are all designed, built and marketed globally to support customers in their endeavours to manage power to make it safe, reliable, efficient and sustainable, says Subhasis Chatterjee, Managing Director - India, Hydraulics Group, Eaton.

Smart Hydraulics

Hydraulics industry in India is on a revival mode with new designs, materials, and manufacturing technologies are coming into the market. In the coming years, energy efficiency, fuel consumption, and the life-cycle of machines will become the major deciding factors for hydraulic systems.

Efficient leadership

Subhasis Chatterjee is responsible for managing Eaton?s India Hydraulics business. He is also responsible for sales, operations, strategic plans, growth initiatives and supply chain functions.

Achieving Cost Efficiency

Cost efficiency is not only achieved through cleaner engines, but also through optimising the man-machine interface with a variety of machine control technologies, 'correcting' the usage patterns, and packaging solutions that take care of clients' business needs around project costs.

Eaton develops solutions that drive sustainable growth around the globe.

At Eaton, our singular focus is on helping customers manage power more efficiently, reliably and safely. We see more electronic controls making their way into hydraulic solutions. The objective here is to make hydraulics smarter than ever through increased automation.

New responsibilities

Young leader

Nitin Chalke is Managing Director India and South East Asia, Hydraulics Group, at Eaton Corporation, a $16- billion global premier diversified industrial manufacturer.

A complex growth pattern

Till date, leasing has not been not more than one per cent of the total equipment finance market. However, with the clarity coming about taxation related to leasing and a direct tax code coming up, there is a huge opportunity of revival of this product in the coming years.

DuraForce to the Fore

Eaton has introduced DuraForce series pumps and motors for heavy-duty industrial and construction applications.
