Working Mechanism:
- As fluid flows through the filter element, dust particles or unwanted chemicals are trapped by the media.
- Simultaneously, the fluid develops a differential pressure between the inlet and outlet.
- The spring present in the hydraulic system holds the bypass piston and senses the pressure difference.
- As the differential pressure reaches a specific threshold, the indicator switches ON to indicate the need for cleaning or replacement.
- As the perforated protective cage around filter mats connects to the two end discs, it will allow the fluids to flow freely and continuously in the hydraulic filter element.
- When the fluid flows through the mat, the protective cage protects from external damage.
- The attached seal rings or profile seals will seal the space between the filter element and filter housing, thus stopping or reducing the leakage occurring from the hydraulic filter element.
- As fluid continues flowing, more contaminants remain trapped in hydraulic filter elements, and thus, the clean hydraulic fluid flows out through the outlet into the hydraulic system.
Compatible Accessories:
- Trico 36970 Filter Carts: These high viscosity filter carts are used for filtering new fluids before they are added to the hydraulic, drain & flush systems. They are also ideal for cleaning the stored fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Where is the hydraulic filter located in a hydraulic system?
A. Hydraulic filter elements are located between the pump and tank, in line with the return flow to the hydraulic tank.
Q. When should I change my hydraulic filter?
A. Normally, hydraulic filters should be changed when the dirt holding capacity of the filter is about 80% full, before the filter goes on bypass.
