Description
Technical Overview and Construction
The SAF-10/13 series consists of in-line Spin-On filter heads manufactured from aluminum. The compact design is intended to accommodate SF-65 series filter elements (not included in the standard supply), featuring a 1-12 UNF threaded connection for the filter element. The design includes 1/4-20 UNC mounting holes, facilitating integration into existing hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic Performance
The SAF-10/13 Spin-On filter heads are sized to handle specific flow rates depending on the application:
- Return line: Flow rate up to 128 l/min (34 US GPM).
- Suction line: Flow rate up to 30 l/min (8 US GPM).
The maximum supported operating pressure is 14 bar (200 PSI). For applications without a bypass valve, the maximum allowable differential pressure is 5.5 bar (80 PSI).
Operating Conditions and Compatibility
The component is designed to operate over a wide temperature range, from -30 °C to +100 °C (-22 °F to +212 °F). Fluid compatibility includes standard mineral oils, with the option to use other fluids upon specific request.
Configurations and Options
The system offers flexibility through multiple connection and control options:
Port Connections
The filter heads are available with two types of threaded main port connections:
- Code 1: 1 NPT.
- Code 13: SAE 1-5/16-12 (O-ring thread).
Bypass Valve (Optional)
The filter head can be configured with an integrated bypass valve. Available settings include:
- B0.2: 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
- B0.35: 0.35 bar (5 PSI).
- B1.0: 1 bar (15 PSI).
- B1.7: 1.7 bar (25 PSI).
- Alternatively, a version without bypass is available (Code 0).
Clogging Indicators
The filter heads include 1/8 NPT ports for clogging indicators. Drilling configurations vary according to application:
- Position 1: Drilled for return-line applications.
- Position 2: Drilled for suction-line applications.
