High Quality Element Technology
for Hydraulic Oils and Lubricants
Design
As the core of the filter, it is the filter element which performs the actual filtration and/or
dewatering function in the housing. Elements consist of several pleated filtration and
support layers which are placed as a cylinder around or inside the stabilizing support
tube. These mesh packs are sealed by the end-caps. Depending on the type of filter,
flow direction through the filter elements is from the outside to the inside, or from the
inside to the outside. Depending on the filter material, the filter mesh pack is encased
in an additional outer plastic wrap.
Innovation
Stat-Free® technology
With the new Stat-Free® filter elements, HYDAC has for the first time succeeded in
combining excellent electrostatic characteristics with filtration performance.
Unprecedented low charge generation in the filter element and in the fluid in the system is
achieved with a new type of filter element mat and element design.
Innovation Unobstructed area of incident flow

HELIOS pleat geometry
Helios doubles the available area for incident flow and its small support pleats prevent
collapsing of the filter mesh pack (compression of the pleats) even under high hydraulic
loads.
In comparison to a standard pleat design, Helios achieves a significant reduction in flow
velocity between the pleats and this is maintained even under the most adverse
conditions.
Standard HELIOS
Innovation
Outer wrap printed with customer logo
Since the outer wrap can be printed with the customer logo, it acts as an advertising
medium for the OEM and guarantees security of the spares business. At the same time,
the user can be certain of obtaining an original spare part. Particular benefit: the logo
remains perfectly legible even in the contaminated condition.
The outer wrap with its multicoloured design and improved diffuser effect ensures
optimised flow over the pleat tips.
The tried-and-tested outer wrap which is in highly tear-resistant plastic has elliptical
perforations in the Optimicron® element. The shape of these pores (patent pending)
improves the angle of incidence onto the filter pleats.

Multipass-Filter Efficiency Data to ISO 16889
The contamination retention and particle filtration performance of an element (with the exception of: paper P, P/HC, wire mesh
W, W/HC, V and Superabsorber AM) are established in the multipass test to ISO 16889. This procedure with its precisely
defined test conditions and a standard test dust (ISO MTD) enables the performance data of different elements to be
compared.
Explanation of the Multipass Test

The multipass test is an idealised hydraulic circuit, in which the filter element Test filter
element
under test is subjected to a constant flow rate. The size and number of
contamination particles are calculated before and after the element.
The ratio of the number of particles of a certain size (and larger) before the filter
to the number of particles of a certain size after the filter indicates the filtration
performance, what is known as the βx(c) value. The "x" stands for the particular
particle size being considered. A βx(c) value of 200 or above is considered
(according to DIN 24550) to be absolute filtration. It is important that βx(c) values
nupstream ndownstream
remain at absolute level over a wide differential pressure range and do not fall separation rate in %
as the element contamination and operating time increase. The degree of n ≥ x µm βx(c) -1
separation is determined from the βx(c) value (see illustration). βx(c) = upstream n= 100
ndownstream ≥ x µm βx(c) *
Performance features
Owing to their high performance standard, HYDAC absolute elements protect the
functions of important and expensive hydraulic components and increase their service life.
The most important performance features are:
zz High level of particle separation (βx(c) values)
zz High level of particle separation over a wide differential pressure range (high βx(c) value
stability)
zz High contamination retention capacity
zz High burst pressure values
zz Low initial pressure difference
zz Good flow fatigue strength
zz Good water retention capacity (for water-absorbent filter materials)
Dynamic Multipass Test =

Hydraulic Load Cycle Test (HLCT)
The new dynamic Multipass Test provides application-orientated characteristics of filtration performance data (field
measurements) and relates directly to real work cycles. It is based on different flow profiles for selected HYDAC key
applications derived from years of field experience. The Hydraulic Load Cycle Test establishes a direct association of the
particular flow profiles to the filter designs and filter media used.

3.3 Main factors
The main factors influencing the electrostatic

behaviour in hydraulic systems:
 Electric conductivity
The lower the conductivity, the higher the charge
 Filter medium
Different materials produce different charges
depending on the electron work function
 Temperature
In general the charge falls as the temperature
rises
 Flow velocity
The higher the flow velocity, the higher the charge
Burn hole in the filter material
 Contamination
Conductive particles or water increase the con-
ductivity of the fluid which results in a lower Furthermore, when the charge is carried further
charge downstream by the oil, uncontrolled discharges can
occur in the hydraulic tank. Depending on the oil/air
mixture in the tank, dangerous explosions are pos-
sible.
4. Consequences of Discharge
The consequences of electrostatic discharges can

be serious.

The electrostatic discharges also cause electro-

magnetic waves which disrupt and damage sensi-

 The charge separation in low conductivity oils
results in electrostatic charging and discharging.
 Electrostatic discharges can cause the following

damage, amongst others:
- Explosions in the hydraulic tank
- Accelerated oil ageing
- Damage to the filter element
- Destruction of electronic components
- Damage to cooler units
 A conductive design of filter element is not suffi-

cient to reduce oil charging.
®
 HYDAC Stat-Free elements ensure a very low
charge in the filter element and the hydraulic fluid
Advantages:
 High level of operating reliability
because discharge sparking, deflagration and
sludge formation in the oil is eliminated
 Longer oil change intervals

because filtration of the oil is non-damaging

Don't fall for
a cheap bluff.
Using elements of
inferior quality can
have drastic consequences:
Poorer cleanliness classes in the customer's system
Inadequate component protection
Shorter filter lifetimes
Threat to operating reliability and even risk of system failures
Restricted system availability
Increased Life Cycle Cost for the customer
Never trust a poker face.

Don't let yourself be taken in!
Trust HYDAC,
Your system will thank you for it!
The shocking evidence of these

no-name elements which have collapsed
shows exactly what happens to cheap
filter elements after just a few hours operation.
The often unseen damage caused to control

genuine quality!
The many years' development in the area
of element technology is your guarantee of
first class quality in Hydac filter elements
and this applies equally to the Betterfit range.
By using Betterfit elements, the Life Cycle Cost

of your system will be optimized, thereby reducing
the total costs of the machine or a component,
from procurement right through to disposal. Reducing
these costs is one of the megatrends pursued by
large-scale end users in machine building.
Leading automotive manufacturers demand, for example,

authoritative data on the Life Cycle Cost and the values derived
from it – e.g. for machine tools for 10 years life,
for presses even up to 30 years life. New investments
by machinery manufacturers are decided
on the basis of the machine prices and
the Life Cycle Cost calculation provided.
