What is Hydraulic Filter?

A hydraulic filter is a component used by hydraulic systems to continuously remove contaminants in the hydraulic oil. This process will purify the hydraulic fluid and protect the system from damages created by the particle contents. Hydraulic filter type for a specific application is selected on the basis of its fluid compatibility, application type pressure drop, operating pressure, size, design, etc…

Every hydraulic system will contain some basic hydraulic filter components like filter head, filter bowl, element and bypass valve. Filter head can be of different size inlet/outlet connections. It allows the contaminated fluid to enter and filtered fluid to exit. The filter bowl is located inside the housing that threads with the filter head and it will protect the element by controlling the fluid flow. The element is considered as the most important component that holds the filter media for removing contaminants.  The bypass valve can be a relief valve that opens for the direct flow of hydraulic fluid if the filter contains increased dirt deposits.

Why use Hydraulic Filters?

Hydraulic filters are mainly used in varieties of hydraulic system in the industry. These filters have many advantages that ensures safe working of hydraulic system. Some of those advantages of hydraulic oil filters are listed below.

Eliminate the presence of foreign particles in hydraulic fluid

Protect the hydraulic system from the dangers of particle contaminants

Improves the overall efficiency and productivity

Compatible with most of the hydraulic system

Low cost for maintenance

Improves the service life of hydraulic system

Importance of Hydraulic Filters Routine maintenance:

Routine maintenance. It sounds boring and in fact, it isn’t exactly an earth-shattering event. Regardless of how much excitement it elicits, it is also a necessary evil when properly maintaining your hydraulic system.

With its main function to remove dirt and particles from the hydraulic components. Particle contamination can wreak havoc on your system, with the potential to cause malfunctioning parts, component failure, and downtime for your mobile equipment.

Preventative Maintenance Can Save You Time and Money

Rather than playing the game of too early or too late, implementing a maintenance schedule can help streamline your filter upkeep. With a maintenance schedule, you can monitor your filter capacity levels, knowing when they should be changed. This can allow for less downtime and gives you the ability to maintain an efficient, well-maintained hydraulic system.
