They are: Vehicle Aerospace Hydraulic Electrical

For over 60 years, the Eaton brand has risen to be amongst the front liners in the production of tubes connection devices for hydraulic tube systems. The major products of the Eaton Walterscheid brand are produced are centered on the Walform cold reshaping principle in Lohmar, Germany. Walterscheid is a producer of connectors and hydraulic metric tube fittings and they became a subsidiary of the Eaton brand in 2004. Walterscheid fittings are widely used in a lot of industries and mobile equipment applications such as agricultural tools, machine tools, and construction vehicles. The Walterscheid tube fittings are available as the WALPRO profile ring or two-cutting ring with controlled final assembly, and WALRING two-edge cutting ring with Walform seal or additional captive. Their products are very safe and offer complete tightness and leak-free sealing when machines are operating under heavy-duty loads with assembly reliability. The design of the Eaton devices is simple, reliable, and has a reputable manual assembly. Also, the assembly machine design helps reduce the risk of making errors during installation while carried out quickly.

Eaton has produced and made available a variety of hydraulic fittings for pipe or tube connections. The wide production program, world-wide service network, and extensive technical-application consultancy provide a cost-efficient resolution for all piping system assembly. ​The table shows the basic features of the Eaton tube fittings combination: WALRING The conical part formed a shape to support the hydraulic tube behind the two cutting blades. Reliability when high load oscillating and impulses loads are applied. Simple, convenient and clear installation check. The substantial increase of the needed force at the end of the assembly prevents both excessive and inadequate tightening which is the most frequent reason for assembly defects. Verified, secured and reliable system. Fitting consist of both cutting ring as well as Walform seal concept. WALPRO Highly tightness assembly. All components made following DIN 2353 / DIN EN ISO 8434-1 standards. Materials available in steel and stainless steel 1.4571. Sturdy fitting assembly and with a prolonged period of the connection. No deformation of the cutting ring. Fitting complete with cutting ring. High nominal working pressures. ​ WALFORM plus The pipe is connected by a common neck, a Walform seal and a union nut. Fewer parts and lower raw material costs. Absolute and reliable tightness. Only one individual sealing point is required to build the connection. The endings of the pipe are machine pressed to create a WALFORM shape. Significantly lower tightening and installation time in contrast with fittings with cutting rings. Piping connections consist of only three main components. Easy, convenient and quick installation.
