Protecting your Cat® equipment from the dirt and debris on a work site is vital to its health and that of your workers. A well-made hydraulic filter can help keep your system clean and running its best. Cat hydraulic filters will trap dust, dirt and other particles to keep your system’s fluids, cavities and airways clean and working well.
MacAllister Machinery offers a broad range of Cat hydraulic oil filters to give your equipment’s systems the best protection they can get. These filters go through in-depth testing to ensure high performance. Let our experts help you find the right filter option for your equipment or uses.
Types of Cat Hydraulic Fluid Filters We Offer
As some people often try to mix hydraulic and transmission parts, it’s critical to know that there are major differences between these systems. Each type has a unique filter design to keep its oil clean and working well. As such, using the right type of filter is vital.
Hydraulic oil can pick up metal particles and debris from motor seals, hoses, cylinders and vent filters. Oil cleanliness is key for the system to work well, especially in valves requiring high tolerances. Most modern hydraulic systems utilize precise designs and tighter tolerances that are easily affected by any foreign matter.
Cat hydraulic filters come in standard, advanced and ultra-high efficiency (UHE) designs. You can also get fire-resistant UHE filters.
- Standard efficiency: Standard efficiency filters are your first line of defense against foreign matter and dirt in general in lighter-duty uses.
- Advanced high efficiency: These filters protect your hydraulic system against wear with enhanced filter material, offering better protection in harder working conditions. These filters also work well as a cleanout mechanism after general system maintenance or a rebuild.
- Ultra-high efficiency: This design uses an extra-fine filtering material to remove more particles for contamination control in the most demanding jobs.
- Fire-resistant UHE: Besides having all the benefits of UHE designs, these filters can stand up to fire-resistant hydraulic fluid, which often makes standard filter material decay.
