Hydraulic Components Need Protection

Shelly has introduced most efficient fuel cleaning filter with an accumulative efficiencies of upto 95% Proper Filtration Protects Hydraulic System Fluid systems must be maintained.

As the sophistication of hydraulic systems and components has increased, so has the importance of system maintenance- especially proper filtration of the system fluid. Today, hydraulic systems run at higher pressure and faster cycle times than ever before. This means closer tolerances in control valves and between all moving parts, greater system stress and increased sensitivity to contamination. Hydraulic system efficiency and reliability depend on good filtration. Perhaps the easiest and most cost effective way to lower maintenance expense and help to ensure trouble-free system operation is through proper filtration. Maintaining systems cleanliness to OE designed requirements is the first step to insure equipment reliability and efficiency of operation.

How Contamination Damages Precision Parts

This cutaway view of a simple hydraulic valve illustrates how particles damage components. In normal operation, the spool slides back and forth in the valve body, diverting oil to one side of the valve or the other. If a particle lodges between the spool and valve body, it will erode small flakes from the metal surfaces. As these flakes are moved back and forth by the action of the spool, they can roll into a burr that jams the spool and disables the valve.
