STAUFF – a leading German manufacturer, supplies pressure filters for inline installation and block mounting, including top-loading variants. STAUFF pressure filters are used in hydraulic and lubrication systems with operating pressures up to 420 bar. They are positioned after the pump to protect hydraulic system components such as servo valves or proportional valves from contaminants. Let’s explore an overview of this product through the following article.
Understanding STAUFF Pressure Filters
STAUFF Pressure Filters are designed for inline installation in hydraulic and lubrication systems. They are positioned after the pump and clean the hydraulic oil before it flows through downstream components such as valves, cylinders, and other elements. The main purpose of pressure filtration is to protect sensitive downstream components. Eroded particles from the pump are immediately filtered out of the hydraulic oil.
Besides functioning as a protective filter, pressure filters also help maintain the required cleanliness level. Being installed right after the pump, this filter must withstand the highest pressure in the system.
