A hydraulic filter is a device used to remove impurities and contaminants from a hydraulic system. Hydraulic systems are systems that utilize fluids to transfer energy, and the role of a hydraulic filter is to prevent particles, water, and other contaminants in the hydraulic system from causing system failure and damage. Hydraulic filters are usually composed of filter elements, housings and import and export piping, through the filter element will flow through the liquid impurities and pollutants in the retention and clean liquid back into the system, thus ensuring the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

What is the role of the hydraulic filter?

The main function of the hydraulic filter is to protect the components in the hydraulic system, extend the service life of the hydraulic system, and reduce maintenance and repair costs. Contamination of the fluid in the hydraulic system can lead to increased wear and tear of components such as hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, etc., as well as reduce the efficiency of the system. Therefore, it is very important to use hydraulic filters to filter and clean the hydraulic system.

How do hydraulic filters work?

Hydraulic filters work by utilizing a filter element to retain and filter impurities and contaminants in the fluid. Filter elements are usually made of fiber, metal mesh and other materials with a certain pore size and filtration accuracy. When the liquid in the hydraulic system flows through the cartridge, the cartridge will retain the impurities and pollutants and send the clean liquid back into the system. Hydraulic filter housing and inlet and outlet piping play a role in fixing the cartridge and channeling the liquid to ensure that the cartridge can effectively filter the contaminants in the liquid.

How to choose a hydraulic filter

How to choose a hydraulic filter is very important, different hydraulic systems require different types and specifications of hydraulic filters. Generally speaking, the selection of hydraulic filters should consider the working pressure of the hydraulic system, flow requirements, the working environment and working medium and other factors. According to the actual situation of the hydraulic system, select the appropriate filter element material, filtration accuracy and structural form to ensure that the hydraulic filter can effectively protect the hydraulic system.

Maintenance

When using hydraulic filters, the filter element needs to be checked and replaced regularly to ensure the filtration effect of the hydraulic filter. If the filter element is not replaced for a long time, the filter element will be clogged, affecting the efficiency of the hydraulic system and even leading to system failure. Therefore, it is very important to check and replace the filter element of the hydraulic filter regularly.

Summarize

Hydraulic filter is a very important device in the hydraulic system, it can effectively filter out impurities and contaminants in the hydraulic system, protect the components of the hydraulic system, extend the service life of the hydraulic system, reduce maintenance and repair costs. Correct selection and use of hydraulic filters, and regular inspection and replacement of filter elements, can ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system, improve the efficiency of the hydraulic system, reduce the possibility of failure.
