Hydraulic systems play a critical role in various industrial applications such as construction, mining, and manufacturing. To keep hydraulic systems running smoothly, it is essential to maintain their cleanliness by using hydraulic oil filter elements.

Hydraulic oil filter elements are designed to remove contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, and water from hydraulic fluid, which can cause system failures and reduce the lifespan of hydraulic components. The filter element consists of a filter media that traps contaminants, a support structure to hold the media, and end caps to seal the filter.

Filter media can be made of various materials, including cellulose, synthetic fibers, and stainless steel wire mesh. The choice of filter media depends on the specific requirements of the hydraulic system, such as the level of filtration needed and the type of contaminants present.

Hydraulic oil filter elements can be categorized into two types: surface filters and depth filters. Surface filters, also known as screen filters, have a flat surface that traps contaminants as fluid flows through the filter. Depth filters, on the other hand, have a complex matrix of fibers or mesh that traps contaminants throughout the filter media. Depth filters are more efficient at removing smaller particles and have a higher dirt-holding capacity than surface filters.
