Contaminant Removal |
Filtration: Designed to remove particulates such as dirt, metal shavings, and other debris from hydraulic oil to prevent wear and tear on system components. |
Efficiency: Effective at capturing contaminants of various sizes to ensure clean hydraulic fluid |
Filtration Media |
Materials: Typically made from materials like cellulose, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both, and sometimes incorporate pleated designs for increased surface area. |
Micron Ratings: Available in different micron ratings to match the specific filtration needs of the hydraulic system. |
Construction |
Housings: Usually made from metal or reinforced plastic to withstand high pressures and harsh operating conditions. |
Seals and Gaskets: Equipped with seals and gaskets to ensure leak-proof operation. |
Bypass Valve |
Function: Many hydraulic filters include a bypass valve that allows fluid to flow through the filter even if it becomes clogged, preventing system damage and ensuring continuous operation. |
Pressure Differential Indicator |
Feature: Some filters have an indicator to signal when the filter is becoming clogged and needs to be replaced. |
