Optimum efficiency and reliability in hydraulic units

Thanks to innovative filtration solutions from Hengst Filtration

The hydraulic unit is the central element that supplies a hydraulic system with the necessary pressure and volume flow. A large number of components ensure high reliability and performance. Filtration products play an essential role by minimizing wear, preventing initial damage during commissioning and protecting sensitive components from contamination, which makes a decisive contribution to the availability of the unit.

Since the system is not fully connected to compensate for pressure fluctuations caused by changing oil levels, contaminated air can also penetrate. Ventilation filters from Hengst Filtration intervene here by filtering both particles and moisture from the air in one step, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion inside the tank.

In every hydraulic system there is at least one pump that generates pressure and volume flow. Depending on the type of pump and operating pressure, this creates the finest abrasive particles that can cause damage to the system. Line and double filters, which are installed either in the main flow of the pump or in the bypass flow via a separate pump, take on the main task here: protecting the components and preventing unplanned downtime. In addition, sensors monitor the water and particle content in the oil. These sensors make a significant contribution to monitoring the condition of the hydraulic system and thus increase operational reliability.
