suction filters
The hydraulic suction filter prevents particulate contamination from entering the hydraulic pump, ensuring optimal system performance. The filter body is typically made of corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum and can handle operating pressures up to 10 bar. The filtration element is constructed from microporous paper or stainless steel mesh with a rating of 10 to 100 microns. Flow capacity ranges from 50 to 400 liters per minute, with inlet and outlet connections standardized from 1/2 to 2 inches. O-rings resistant to oil and high temperature minimize fluid leakage.
Structurally, the suction filter consists of the main housing, a replaceable filtration element, and a screw-on cover, allowing fast maintenance. A sediment drain or pressure point indicates filter clogging. The internal design minimizes pressure drop and extends pump life. This filter is used in industrial machinery, automotive hydraulic systems, and heavy equipment, and operates efficiently in temperatures from -20 to 120°C.
