The importance of hydraulic filter element for hydraulic system

2026-01-04

Hydraulic filter element is the "kidney" of hydraulic system, responsible for the key mission of removing oil pollutants. Data shows that over 75% of hydraulic system failures are directly caused by oil contamination, and the application of high-quality filter elements can improve system reliability by over 40%.
1. Prevent pollution damage
70% -80% of hydraulic system failures are caused by oil contamination. The filter element intercepts pollutants (such as metal particles, dust, seal debris, etc.) to prevent them from damaging precision components (such as pumps, valves, hydraulic cylinders), significantly reducing the system failure rate.
2. Extend the lifespan of components
Pollutants can exacerbate component wear, especially for parts with small clearances, such as servo valves. Efficient filter elements can reduce abrasive wear, extend the lifespan of core components such as pumps and motors by several times, and reduce maintenance costs.
3. Maintain system stability
Contaminants may block the valve core holes or jam moving parts, causing system pressure fluctuations, slow action, or loss of control. The filter element ensures precise system response and smooth operation by keeping the oil clean.
4. Improve oil performance
Moisture and oxides can accelerate the deterioration of oil, and some filter elements also have water absorption function (such as composite filter materials) or slow down oil oxidation by preventing the accumulation of particles, thereby extending the service life of oil.
5. Ensure production safety
In high load or high-precision fields such as metallurgy, mining, and aviation, filter failure may lead to sudden shutdowns, equipment damage, and even safety accidents. Regular replacement of filter cartridges is an important part of preventive maintenance.
