Hydraulic Filters

To improve safety and efficiency, OEM designers are using hydraulics to replace belts, chains, cables and other methods of transferring power. Most new hydraulic equipment is designed to be easier to operate and maintain.

As modern hydraulic equipment becomes more sophisticated, they often require closer tolerances, faster cycle times, higher pressures, extended service intervals and more complex systems to perform efficiently all placing more demands on the filtration system.

With these demands on today’s hydraulic systems, maintaining system cleanliness through proper filtration is essential to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability, lower maintenance expense and reduce machinery down-time, as more hydraulic failures are as a result of particle contamination, than any other cause.

Proper filtration starts with selecting the right filter based on the OEM’s recommendations, which include:

  • The type of fluid used and the system operating pressure.
  • The amount of fluid flow required for system operation.
  • The restriction of fluid flow caused by the filter.
  • The amount of contaminant the filter needs to hold to meet service interval expectations.
  • The level of fluid cleanliness required by the specific application.

In addition to these factors, modern hydraulic systems are using more filters than ever. Increased sophistication and the use of sensitive, close-tolerance components often require strategic location of several filters rather than just one.

Baldwin Filters offers more than 1000 hydraulic filters to meet these needs. Including Baldwin Filters’ PureForce range, which bring many advantages including the ability to consistently outperform the leading competitor. Baldwin’s PureForce filters are engineered to withstand extreme conditions created by medium-pressure hydraulic systems, with working pressure up to 500 psi and flow rates up to 50 Gal/min.

Baldwins hydraulic filters are built to match or exceed OE specifications to give you and your equipment the best protection available.
