What does a hydraulic filter do?

Hydraulic oil is the most important part of every hydraulic system. In a hydraulic system, no system can work without the proper volume of hydraulic oil. Also, any change in fluid level, fluid properties, etc. can damage the entire system we are using. If hydraulic oil is so important, what happens if it gets contaminated?

The risk of hydraulic oil contamination increases with the use of hydraulic systems. Leaks, rust, gas inflation, cavitation, damaged seals, etc... contaminate the hydraulic oil. Problems created by this contaminated hydraulic fluid are classified as degrading, transient and catastrophic failures. Degradation is a classification of failures that affect the proper functioning of a hydraulic system by slowing down operation. Transients are intermittent failures that occur at irregular intervals. Finally, catastrophic failure is the complete end of hydraulic systems. Contaminated hydraulic fluid problems can become serious. So how do we protect hydraulic systems from contamination?

Hydraulic oil filtration is the only solution for removing contaminants from the fluid in use. Particle filtration using different types of filters will remove contaminant particles such as metals, fibers, silica, elastomers and rust from hydraulic fluids.

Why use a hydraulic filter?

Hydraulic filters are mainly used in various hydraulic systems in industry. These filters have many advantages to ensure the safe operation of hydraulic systems. Some of the benefits of hydraulic oil filters are listed below.

1.Eliminate the presence of foreign bodies in hydraulic oil

2.Protects hydraulic systems from particulate contamination

3.Improve overall efficiency and productivity

4.Compatible with most hydraulic systems

5.Low maintenance cost

6.Increase the service life of the hydraulic system
