General Function:
HYDAC Suction Strainer Filter Elements are designed for installation into suction lines of pumps. Caution should be taken to ensure that the suction filter elements are always mounted below the minimum oil level of the reservoir to avoid pump cavitation.
Suction strainer filter elements can be supplied with a bypass valve to reduce high pressure drops caused by contaminated elements or high viscosity fluids during cold start. The bypass valve opens at 0.2 bar (3 psi). For best results, suction strainer elements should be sized for clean element pressure drops of no higher than 0.0034 bar (0.05 psi) to 0.0048 bar (0.07 psi). See Filter Calculation / Sizing table
HYDAC suction Strainer Filter Elements are manufactured using stainless steel wire mesh screen media, polyamide end caps, and a steel, zinc-plated central tube.
Suction strainer filter elements are only intended to protect hydraulic pumps against catastrophic failure caused by large coarse contaminant. Suction strainer elements should be inspected and replaced regularly. Suction strainer filter elements should not be used as the only filtration element in a hydraulic system. Pressure filters, return line filters and offline filters with reasonable dirt holding capacity should be considered and installed to provide system protection against component damage caused by fine contaminants.
