Reintroduced Hydraulic Calipers Application Case History
Oil and Gas – Top Drive
• Problem Statement: Increasing low
priced competition in the low end caliper
market has prevented Eaton to regain
business
• Product: 200DPA Hydraulically Applied
Caliper
• Result: Eaton has leveraged
manufacturing synergies to win against
the competition
