Hydac SFE series suction strainer filter elements

HYDAC SFE series Suction Strainer Elements are designed for installation into

suction lines of pumps.Extra caution should be taken to ensure that the suction

elements are always mounted below the minimum oil level of the reservoir.

 

Features

Standard models have nominal filtration ratings of 74 or 125 microns.The suction

strainer elements can also be supplied with a bypass valve to reduce high pressure

drops caused by contaminated elements or high viscosity fluids during cold starting.

The bypass valve opens at 3 psi. for best results, suction strainer elements should be

sized for clean element pressure drops of no higher than 0.5 to 0.7 psi. HYDAC suction

Strainer Elements are manufactured using stainless steel wire screen media.

 

 

Attention

Suction strainer elements are only intended to protect hydraulic pumps against

catastrophic failure caused by coarse contaminants. Suction strainer elements should

be inspected and cleaned regularly. Suction strainer elements should not be used as

the only filtration elements in a hydraulic system. Pressure filters and return line filters,

with reasonable dirt holding capacity, must be installed to provide protection against

component damage caused by fine contaminants.

 

Hydraulic Data
Pressure Drop vs. Flow: Pressure drop will be < 2 psi when strainers are used within the
recomended flow range, and with a standard hydraulic fluid with a viscosity of 141 SSU

and specific gravity of 0.86.
