What is a hydraulic filter?
Hydraulic oil filter
Hydraulic parts are expensive and valuable parts in all industries. Failure of any of the hydraulic parts causes the failure of the hydraulic system and, in many cases, the failure of the production line of a factory. Today, the protection of the hydraulic system and parts is one of the main priorities of device manufacturers and industrial owners. One of the ways to increase the lifetime of the parts is to protect the fluid and hydraulic parts against impurities. Hydraulic filters that are installed in different parts of the hydraulic system are responsible for this task.
Selection of hydraulic oil filter
The passage of particles and impurities through filters and strainers depends on their size compared to the pores of the strainer. Therefore, when choosing a filter, you should pay attention to the size of the filter and filter pores. Magnetic filter is one of the most common filters used in hydraulic system. This filter filters the oil through magnetism while passing the liquid flow. With the gradual blocking of the strainer during the operation of the system, the pressure drop increases and if this pressure drop reaches the critical limit of the pump, in addition to creating cavitation and increasing noise, the useful life of the pump is also reduced. A filter is a device capable of separating micron particles that are not soluble in the fluid. Studies have shown that even particles as small as one micron can have destructive effects on the hydraulic system. To order and buy a hydraulic unit, it is very important to follow the important technical points to choose the right filter.
