Hydraulic systems contain multiple parts and vary in complexity, but for longevity and reliability, they all need protection from oil-borne contamination. If abrasive particles enter an hydraulic system, they may damage expensive components, like pumps and motors. These contaminating particles may even prevent hydraulic components from operating properly by causing them to respond slowly or stick open.
Sun filter cartridges trap and remove these particles to help prevent premature component wear and system failure. They are cavity mounted for low installed profile, added system security and prevention of tampering. The elements have a high collapse pressure and are intended to be used directly in line.
These filters are ideal for applications in servo circuits, precision machinery, variable displacement pump and motor systems, hydrostatic drives and machinery in dirty or dusty environments. They are compact and have up to 345 bar operating pressure and 207 bar differential crush pressure with flow rates up to 300 l/min. Corrosion resistant options are available.
Available in two different types, the compact design of these filter cartridges allows them to be integrated directly into any manifold assembly. The surface type gives protection from large particles and has a 40 µ rating, with complete stainless steel construction and a very low pressure drop. The filter element has a mesh construction. The depth type for proportional and servo systems has ratings of 3, 10 or 25 μ. The pleated media filter element has superior dirt holding capacity with a low pressure drop.
