Efficient industrial operation relies on the purity of hydraulic and lubrication fluids. Water contamination is one of the most common causes of system failure, leading to corrosion, fluid degradation, and reduced component life. The Eaton HYD WSPS 05 acts as a critical line of defense, offering real-time monitoring of water saturation levels in your systems.
As a trusted distributor for major brands like Eaton Filtration, Purecowater provides this advanced sensing technology to help you maintain optimal fluid conditions and prevent costly downtime. You can learn more about our industrial solutions on our home page.
What is the Eaton HYD WSPS 05?
The Eaton HYD WSPS 05 is a Water Saturation Point Sensor designed for in-line monitoring of hydraulic and lubrication oils. Unlike standard moisture tests that may only catch water after it becomes visible (free water), the WSPS 05 detects dissolved water saturation levels. This allows maintenance teams to identify water ingress before it precipitates into damaging free water droplets.
Key Capabilities
- Real-time Saturation Detecton: Measures the percentage of water saturation (0–100%) in the fluid.
- Temperature Monitoring: Integrated temperature sensor for accurate fluid analysis.
- Robust Design: Built to withstand the high pressures and harsh environments typical of industrial hydraulics.
- Predictive Maintenance: Enables condition-based maintenance strategies by altering operators to rising moisture trends.
Technical Specifications
The WSPS 05 is engineered for reliable performance across a variety of fluid types, including mineral oils and synthetic esters. Below are key technical parameters typically associated with Eaton’s WSPS series sensors.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Measurement Principle | Capacitive measurement of water saturation |
| Saturation Range | 0 to 100% Saturation |
| Operating Pressure | High-pressure capable (typically up to 10-25 bar depending on fitting) |
| Output Signal | 4-20 mA (Analog) for easy PLC integration |
| Fluid Compatibility | Hydraulic oils, Lubrication oils, Transformer oils |
Who is This Product For?
The Eaton HYD WSPS 05 is essential for industries where fluid integrity is critical to production uptime. Purecowater serves a diverse client base that relies on such precision instrumentation.
Oil & Gas
Perfect for monitoring hydraulic power units and lubrication systems on rigs and refineries where water ingress is a constant threat.
Mining & Heavy Metal
protects heavy crushing and excavation machinery hydraulics in high-humidity and dusty environments.
Power Generation
Essential for monitoring turbine lubrication oil reservoirs to prevent moisture-related bearing failures.
Why Filtration and Monitoring Go Hand-in-Hand
Monitoring is only half the battle. Once the WSPS 05 detects high saturation levels, effective filtration is required to remove the water. Purecowater partners with manufacturers like Eaton to provide complete solutions—from the sensing technology that alerts you to the problem, to the absorption filters and vacuum dehydration units that solve it.
According to general hydraulic standards, over 80% of hydraulic failures are attributed to contaminated fluids [eaton.com]. By integrating the WSPS 05, you protect your investment and ensure compliance with fluid cleanliness standards.
