  • Filter Element With Magnetic Array
    Publication number: 20230149949
    Abstract: A filter for removing ferrous particles from a fluid. The filter has an outer filter housing and a non-ferrous liner inside the housing. A plurality of magnets are longitudinally extended at intervals outside the liner. An insert inside the liner imparting a directional flow to the fluid inside the filter whereby ferrous particles in the fluid are trapped by the magnets and held against the non-ferrous line.

  • Hydraulic tank access cover with self-centering and anti-rotation device
    Patent number: 7721904
    Abstract: A hydraulic access cover assembly for a hydraulic reservoir tank that provides a self-centering and anti-rotation feature for quick and positive sealing of the tank. Tabs located on the inner cover interlock with tabs incorporated into the tank access hole to provide the self-centering and anti-rotation features. This system eliminates the need to weld anything to the tank, which eliminates a potential contamination source of the hydraulics.
