Hydraulics: Summary

Maintaining system cleanliness in complex fluid power systems, including suction side
Protecting mobile hydraulics pump, electro-hydraulic valve, steering valves, hydrostatic transmissions, flushing and test rigs

Notes

System cleanliness has become one of the key drivers for both OEM’s and end users. With increasingly complex proportional or electro hydraulic systems the effects of contamination can be devastating.

The benefits of Magnom™ for Hydraulics include:
-The first opportunity for fine filtration without risk of cavitation on the suction side of the pump
- Increased system up time
- Increased life of critical components (valves, Pumps, Motors etc)
- Reduction in hard to pin point intermittent faults such as sticking valve spools
- Extended filter life
- Reduced filter disposal costs

Applications for Magnom™ in the Hydraulic environment include:
- Mobile Hydraulics pump suction side protection
- Electro-hydraulic valve protection
- Steering valve protection
- Hydrostatic transmission protection in conveyor drives
- Flushing and test rigs for hydraulic components

A number of the Magnom™ products are used in various hydraulic applications; the PumpMate can even be installed pre-pump in the tank as a fit and forget solution without risk of cavitation.

Customers to date include:
- Off highway mobile hydraulic systems
- Industrial static systems
- Agriculture Equipment
- Construction equipment
- Mining Equipment
- Marine
