Magnetic cores: protection against sludge buildup & abrasion
Ensure your system reliability. As a highly efficient pre-filtration system, the magnetic core reliably separates metallic micro-abrasion particles (down to 0.1 µm) and welding beads, providing direct protection against sludge buildup in sensitive machine components.
In mobile hydraulics, heavy industry, and complex plant engineering, the cleanliness of the operating medium and the filter element service life are critical factors in ensuring the overall system's reliability and preventing failures. Whether it's in a continuous oil circulation system or in targeted cleaning of deep boreholes – a precisely sized magnetic core offers a highly efficient solution for reliably separating metallic micro-abrasions and macroscopic contaminants from the fluid flow. As a functional component within inline and return line filters, this process engineering approach ensures the long-term mechanical integrity of sensitive machine parts.
Protection against sludge buildup in machine parts caused by ferromagnetic particles
Continuous mechanical wear in power units, pumps, and gearboxes leads to the constant generation of extremely fine solid particles. This is why consistent protection against the clogging of machine parts by ferromagnetic particles is a top priority for design engineers and maintenance managers. If these particles aren't captured early on, they overload the primary filter element, resulting in significantly shorter intervals between services and increased operating costs.
A highly advanced magnetic separator acts as a stable barrier in this scenario. It captures particles as small as 0.1 µm and even removes critical manufacturing residues from deep-hole drilling operations. By significantly reducing the load on the main filter media, this assembly acts as an effective pre-filter, minimising the risk of abrasive chain reactions on critical components.
Functional pre-filtration in operation
The physical foundation of this protection system is a strategically placed pre-filtration system. The flow principle, in which the medium passes through the filter element from the inside out, ensures simple maintenance with no compromises. During element replacement, all retained solid particles remain securely inside the element. The design prevents contaminated particles from being flushed back into the tank or the downstream fluid circuit.
An integrated magnetic core also plays a crucial dual role in daily operations: in addition to continuously cleaning the fluid, the magnetic separator serves as a reliable mechanical indicator of current contamination levels and wear levels, which is especially important for preventative monitoring of internal machine components.
Specifications and material compatibility
Accurate geometric and physical parameters are essential for precise B2B engineering. Whether used continuously in a tank or for manual cleaning in deep boreholes, our systems are designed to withstand extreme thermal and chemical stress:
- Temperature range: Reliable continuous operation is possible at operating temperatures of up to 120 °C.
- Materials: The cover and tube are typically made from brass or corrosion-resistant stainless steel (EN 10088: 1.4301 or 1.4305), with the threaded component or screw plug made from high-strength steel.
- Fluid compatibility according to ISO 2943: Fully compatible with hydraulic oils ranging from H to HLPD (DIN 51524), as well as lubrication oils (DIN 51517, API, ACEA, DIN 51515, ISO 6743).
- Dimensions and design: Available in standard sizes (diameters) of 11, 20, and 30, with installation lengths ranging from 100 mm to 1200 mm, ensuring a precise fit for integration into your CAD environment
Tailor-made magnetic separators for engineering applications
Depending on the installation conditions, accessibility, and flow characteristics, various design types are employed to achieve maximum separation efficiency:
| Model | Sizes (Ø mm) | Primary application & intended use | Installation & assembly type | Design features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MKH | 10, 20, 30 | Easily remove chips, screws, split pins, and tools from hard-to-reach areas. | Portable / flexible (features an oil-resistant bar and a PVC protective cover). | Interchangeable extensions (V1 for Ø11, V2 for Ø20/30) enable length adjustments. Perfect for deep-hole drilling. |
| MKS | 10, 20, 30 | Continuous separation of ultra-fine ferromagnetic particles is essential to protect sensitive components against abrasion. | Stationary housing integration (installation in an optimal location in terms of flow directly within the transmission housing or a similar structure). | Screw plug designed in accordance with DIN 910. Protection against wear on roller bearings and gear teeth flanks. |
| MKG | 10, 20, 30 | Use in applications where the fluid level reaches the cover or where installation from below is required due to design constraints. | Stationary (with optional threaded pin or screw plug DIN 910). | The entire length is fully magnetic. Maximum protection against sludge buildup. |
