Filters are a small but vital part of silicone hydraulic machinery

Filters are a small but vital part of silicone hydraulic machinery, although serving no mechanical purpose they are integral to the proper functioning of the machine and to prolonging the active life of the equipment and the hydraulic fluid which drives it.  The role of a filter is to remove and/or contain particles of contamination and keep the fluid that flows round the machine clear.  Any contamination in the oil can cause damage to moving parts further downstream, and this can lead to seizing up of moving parts, corrosion of other parts and costly replacements.  When we consider the consequences of not using a filter, the importance of these little items becomes more significant.

There are two main styles of hydraulic oil filter – surface and depth filters.  The surface filter, as the name suggests, removes contamination from the surface of the oil and may be useful in applications where gravity feeds the oil through a space suitable for such a filter during operation.  A depth filter can be submerged in a reservoir or chamber and will remove particles from the entirety of the body of fluid.  Depth filters therefore, are more effective and will retain a larger amount of contamination and unwanted particles before they need to be cleaned or replaced.

 
It is also important to check that the flow rate of the filter is compatible with the flow rate of the machinery it is to be used in; too fast and the filter will not be able to effectively remove contamination, too slow and it could become clogged quickly.  The operational pressure of the hydraulic system is also important, as the filter must be able to withstand that force for a prolonged amount of time.  The final thing to check is that the filter can be connected to the equipment, so check the port size of the filter and ensure it is compatible with the machinery in the location it is to be fitted.

There is a lot to consider here, but choosing the most suitable hydraulic fluid filter is an exercise that it is worth spending some time on, as it can make a big difference to the performance and lifespan of your silicone hydraulic equipment and save on downtime and replacement costs in the long run.
