Description
Filter Elements for Lubricating Oil Applications
The range of Stauff Automatic Filter Elements – SBS-124 Series represents an advanced technical solution for the maintenance and efficiency of hydraulic systems, specifically engineered for automatic and duplex filters operating with lubricating oil. These components are essential to ensure operational continuity and circuit protection, effectively serving as bypass and flushing filters.
Design and Protection
The distinctive feature of the SBS-124 Series lies in the pleated configuration of the elements. This geometry maximizes the available filtration area while keeping overall dimensions compact, resulting in higher dirt-holding capacity and extended service life. A critical aspect of spare part handling is maintaining the integrity of the filter media during maintenance operations. To prevent the risk of damage, SBS-124 elements are wrapped in a polyester outer cover. This technical solution allows operators to handle, install, and remove the filter safely, preserving the structure of the filter media.
Materials and Configuration
The versatility of the series is ensured by the availability of different filter media, selectable according to the specific filtration requirements of the system:
- Paper, Glass Fibre, and Polyester: Standard materials available for this series.
- Metal Mesh (Stainless Steel Mesh): Available on request for specific applications.
The structure is completed with end caps made of galvanized steel or, for environments requiring higher corrosion resistance, stainless steel.
Dimensional Specifications and Filtration Rating
The filter elements feature a constant outer diameter of 124 mm (4.88 in), while the length can be adapted to different housings, with standard options of 254 mm, 500 mm, and 750 mm. In terms of filtration fineness (micron rating), the SBS-124 Series offers standard options of 10 µm or 50 µm, with alternative ratings available on request to meet specific oil cleanliness requirements.
