Suction filter with hose connection up to DN 60
A renowned manufacturer of telescopic handlers was faced with the challenge of finding a more economical suction filter for a tank system already in use. The suction filter used so far was not easy to install and too expensive.
Read in our latest success story how ARGO-HYTOS made use of its decades of experience in the field of mobile hydraulics and was able to develop a robust suction filter for pump protection in hydraulic and lubrication systems by applying the latest production techniques in the field of plastics technology.
The monitoring solution for gears in the mining sector
Drive gears in the mining sector are exposed to extreme loads, which can lead to high wear in the gearbox and, in the worst case, to failure. To increase the reliability of the gearboxes and to detect damage at an early stage, ARGO-HYTOS has developed the OPCom FerroS wear sensor.
Read here how it helps to monitor the gearbox in real-time and prevents sudden production downtimes by early warning.
Ultimate solution to applications where the flow direction changes
With the modernization and multi-functionality of hydraulic systems, it is common for a jack-up barge, for example, to have more than 30 closed hydraulic sub-circuits with flow rates of up to several hundred liters per minute, in which the flow direction is constantly changing.
Read our latest success story to learn how ARGO-HYTOS bi-directional high pressure filter assemblies allow hydraulic fluids to flow in both directions while maintaining the highest standard of filtration efficiency.
High-pressure safety filter series HD 040/081/150
Since the operating time of high tech harvesters is very limited due to the annual harvesting window, it is essential to ensure maximum machine availability in this respect.
Read here how ARGO-HYTOS optimized the customers filter system used as wear protection in the hydraulic system to provide increased functional protection on the basis of an optimum cost-benefit ratio.
Digitalization in Mass Production: Online Condition Monitoring
For factories engaged in mass production one of the most important goal is to ensure that the production process is not interrupted at any times.
As the biggest source of failures and problems in hydraulic systems is oil contamination, read here how smart particle monitors by ARGO-HYTOS help to avoid unplanned downtimes and increase both the efficiency & lifetime of the machine.
Tank-mounted return filter kits RFI 206 / 406
For a new generation of agricultural machinery, a future-proof return filter system consisting of as few components as possible had to be developed, which could be ideally integrated into plastic tanks.
Read here how ARGO-HYTOS has developed an innovative return filter system in which the oil flows into the filter element at the bottom which ensures the optimum separation of air from the hydraulic oil at the lowest outflow rates.
New pressure filter PFL-232 for the filtration of cooling lubricants
During machining processes, chips and smaller particles inevitably get into the cooling lubricant. The more efficiently these are removed from the lubricant, the more reliably the machining center works.
Find out here how ARGO-HYTOS developed an economical cooling lubricant filter system for a customer in the market segment of industrial hydraulics.
Tank-mounted return filter E 451-156 with AirEX air separation
Air in hydraulic fluids can have several serious effects in the hydraulic system: dynamic operating problems due to increased compressibility, accelerated oil aging / micro- diesel effect, temperature increase, efficiency losses in pumps, cavitation damage to components and noise generation.
