Your hydraulic system keeps aircraft flying, helicopters maneuvering, and naval vessels operating. When contamination enters that system, the consequences range from costly repairs to mission failure.
FCP designs and manufactures precision hydraulic filtration systems, filter assemblies, housings, and replacement elements for aerospace and defense programs. With more than 80 years of manufacturing experience, we are the hydraulic oil filter supplier engineers trust when failure is not an option. Our metal mesh filters can reduce system contaminants by up to 95%.
Fiberglass and paper filter media rely on adhesive binders to hold their structure. Under the high pressure, high temperature, and vibration conditions common in military aviation and naval systems, those binders break down and shed particles directly into the hydraulic fluid.
The result is compounding contamination, accelerated component wear, shortened maintenance intervals, and increased risk of system failure.
When you switch from standard hydraulic oil filters to metal mesh media, you eliminate this failure mode. FCP’s metal mesh filters hold their structure without degradable binders, and they do not shed media into your system.
FCP’s hydraulic fluid filters are used in:
Each system is engineered to maintain fluid cleanliness over the full service life of the filter, reducing unscheduled maintenance and supporting mission readiness.
FCP manufactures hydraulic oil filter housings rated for the pressures, temperatures, and fluid compatibility requirements of aerospace and defense hydraulic systems. Standard and custom envelope options are available. If your program requires a specific hydraulic fluid housing configuration, our engineering team will design to your installation and pressure requirements.
Our hydraulic filtration filters integrate housing, element, and bypass provisions into a single, qualified unit configured to your flow rates, pressure ratings, and installation requirements. Each assembly arrives ready to install and is supported by full AS9100 and NADCAP traceability documentation.
FCP manufactures replacement elements in metal mesh media for both FCP-original housings and compatible third-party configurations. If you are running fiberglass or paper media and experiencing fluid cleanliness issues, ask us about a metal mesh drop-in. No housing modification is required in most applications.
When catalog parts do not meet your program’s requirements, FCP builds to specification. Our engineering team designs custom hydraulic filtration systems for unique installation geometries, extreme operating environments, saltwater and corrosive fluid compatibility, and military qualification requirements.
Specifying filtration hardware for a military or aerospace hydraulic system means working with a manufacturer who can meet your program’s documentation requirements, deliver consistent quality, and stand behind every part. Here is what sets FCP apart.
Every filter leaves our facility under a certified quality management system with full traceability. Our AS9100 (Rev. D) certification and NADCAP approval confirm that the parts you receive meet the quality standards your program requires.
FCP’s hydraulic filtration systems have been specified by GE Aviation, Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and the U.S. Department of Defense. When your program demands filtration hardware that performs without failure, FCP delivers.
FCP is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and we understand what reliable equipment means in the field because we have been there. That same standard of mission readiness is built into every filter we manufacture.
FCP manufactures mechanical differential pressure indicators (DPIs) that signal when your hydraulic filter element requires service. No electrical connections. No external power. No electronic components. Simple, durable, and built for military operating environments.
Tell us what your system requires. Whether you need a standard hydraulic filtration system, a replacement element, a custom hydraulic oil filter housing, or a complete assembly, FCP’s engineering team is ready to support your program.
Have a question about FCP’s hydraulic filtration systems? Here are answers to what engineers and procurement teams ask most.
FCP manufactures hydraulic filter housings, filter assemblies, replacement elements, and complete custom hydraulic filtration systems for aerospace and defense applications.
Fiberglass and paper media can shed particles into your hydraulic fluid under high pressure and temperature. Metal mesh filters hold their structure, do not shed media, and can reduce system contamination by up to 95%.
Yes. If your program requires a unique envelope, pressure rating, or fluid compatibility specification, our engineering team will design a housing to meet your exact requirements.
Yes. FCP is AS9100 (Rev. D) certified and a NADCAP-approved supplier, meeting the quality management and documentation standards required by military and aerospace programs.
Yes. FCP manufactures metal mesh replacement elements compatible with both FCP-original housings and many third-party configurations, with no housing modification required in most applications.
