Description: The document details suction filters designed for installation in the suction line of hydraulic system
pumps or upstream of charge pumps in hydrostatic drives. These filters protect against wear and malfunction by ensuring cleanliness and preventing dirt particles from entering the system.
Characteristics: The filters feature a locking
valve to prevent dirt from returning to the
tank, a foot valve for maintenance ease, and filter elements with a flow direction from center to outside. The star-shaped pleating of the filter material provides large surfaces, low pressure drop, high dirt-holding capacities, and long service life. Magnetic systems are included for ferromagnetic particle separation.
Performance Features: The filters offer full-flow filtration, protecting pumps from dirt particles. They are equipped with clogging indicators to optimize filter life utilization.
Materials: The filters are constructed with a polyester screw-on cap, aluminum alloy filter head, steel filter bowl, and NBR seals, with Viton available on request. The filter media includes EXAPOR®-inorganic microfibre web and paper-cellulose web.
Accessories: Electrical and optical clogging indicators are available. Technical data and dimensions are provided in catalog sheet 60.20.
Nominal Flow Rate: Up to 18.5 gpm, with specific conditions for closed by-pass valve and element service life.
Connection: Threaded ports according to SAE standard J514, with other port threads available on request.
Filter Fineness: Ranges from 16 µm(c) to 30 µm(c) with ß-values according to ISO 16889.
Dirt-Holding Capacity: Values are provided according to ISO 16889.
Hydraulic Fluids: Suitable for mineral oil and biodegradable fluids (HEES or HETG).
Temperature Range: -22 °F to +212 °F, with temporary ranges from -40 °F to +248 °F.
Viscosity: Specifications for operating temperature, start-up viscosity, and initial operation with bypass valve are detailed.
Mounting Position: Vertical mounting is preferred, with options for horizontal mounting with foot valve.
Diagrams: Pressure drop and filtration ratio curves are provided, with specific ß-values for different filter media.
Spare Parts: Original ARGO-HYTOS spare parts are recommended to ensure functionality and quality.
Quality Assurance: The filters undergo strict quality controls according to DIN and ISO standards, ensuring reliability and performance.
