The SSF-150/180 Spin-On Filter Heads represent an advanced engineering solution for contamination control in hydraulic circuits. Manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminum, they are designed to handle flow rates up to 300 l/min on return lines and 113 l/min on suction lines. They support a maximum operating pressure of 14 bar and are compatible with mineral oils. The configuration includes options for integrated bypass valves and provisions for clogging indicators, ensuring versatility for use with SF-67 series filter elements.
The SSF-150/180 Spin-On Filter Heads are hydraulic components designed to ensure efficiency and reliability in return-line and suction-line applications. The unit is engineered to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 14 bar (200 PSI), with resistance to differential pressure up to 5.5 bar (80 PSI) for applications without a bypass valve. In terms of fluid handling, these filter heads deliver high performance: they allow a maximum flow rate of 300 l/min (80 US GPM) for return-line applications and 113 l/min (30 US GPM) for suction-line use. The operating temperature range is extremely wide, enabling use in environments from -30°C to +100°C (-22°F to +212°F).
The filter head is manufactured entirely from aluminum, ensuring an excellent balance between light weight and mechanical strength. The design includes standardized mounting holes (6x) with 5/16-18 UNC threads (depth .88), facilitating installation on various types of machinery. The connection ports are available in two main configurations to meet international standards:
The SSF-150/180 Spin-On Filter Heads are specifically developed for use with SF-67 series filter elements (with Type B sealing contour). It is important to note that the filter element is not included with the filter head and must be selected according to the flow characteristics required by the specific application. Media compatibility covers mineral oils, with the option to evaluate other fluids upon request.
To maximize circuit protection, the filter heads can be configured with an optional integrated bypass valve. Available bypass opening pressure settings include:
