Hydraulic Filters

HYDRAULIC FILTERS: OPERATION AND USE

To ensure the purity of hydraulic fluid and prevent the accumulation of impurities from system operation, hydraulic power units are equipped with advanced filtration systems. These include both suction filters and return filters. Hydraulic filters play a crucial role in capturing unwanted particles generated within the system and are classified into two main categories:

  • Surface Filters: Made from fabric or metal mesh, designed to capture larger particles on their surface.
  • Depth Filters: Made from materials such as felt, paper, or synthetic metals, capable of trapping finer particles through their porous structure.


These filtration systems are essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the hydraulic system, reducing the risk of wear and failure of critical components.
