Hydraulic systems in airplanes, helicopters, submarines, and other machinery are full of intricate regulators, actuators, valves, and pumps. However, a hydraulic system cannot operate correctly if the hydraulic system filter fails to adequately remove the contaminants before it gets to the system components. This insufficient filtration leads to a shorter lifespan for your hydraulic system …

When you operate machinery, you need dependable, all-metal filters that can remove contaminants and prevent long-term damage to your fluid system. One key component of a high-quality oil filter is a bypass valve. An oil filter’s bypass valve helps avoid destruction to the machine when the filter inevitably gets clogged. This allows the oil to …
