Oil filters
We offer a wide range of oil and lubrication system filters from the following leading manufacturers:
Manufacturers of modern filters and filter systems in the automotive field are being faced year by year with the ever more stringent requirements of the automotive manufacturers. The filter is more than ever a component that has to combine economy and environmental friendliness with high functionality and efficiency. Protection of the engine, easy servicing, a high level of reliability, and environmental protection are the key concepts here.
Longer service intervals combined with new fully synthetic oils place even more stringent requirements on the oil filter elements. This stretches from the wide temperature range and aggressive oil components to oil aging components.
What the Oil Filter Does
Friction is created when machine parts move in relation to each other. In order to reduce this friction, which causes reduction of efficiency and life of the machine, we need to create a lubricating oil-film between the moving parts. It is evident that we need lubricating oil, clean of dirt and damaging particles, in the machine. This is where the oil-filter comes in.
Apart from lubrication, the oil and oil filter have also following duties:
- Cooling:
- Absorb and transport heat from friction and engine heat
- Cleaning:
- Transport (to the filter) the contaminating particles from wear and tear as well as remainders of the combustion process
- Sealing:
- The rings between liner and piston, simmering etc
- Silencing:
- Silencing of mechanical noises and the combustion process
-
Unless the contaminating particles are adequately removed from the lubrication oil and retained by the oil filter, they form together with the oil an abrasive paste that causes premature engine wear. This leads to major repair costs.
