  • Patent number: 11833454
    Abstract: The invention relates to an end plate for filter material (10) for filtering a liquid, particularly a hydraulic oil, having a through opening (11) for filtered liquid, which is surrounded by a sealing ring (20) for a connecting piece, and a cover (12) for the filter material (10). The invention is characterized in that the sealing ring (20) delimits a free space (13) for accommodating an anti-rotation lock (14) of a switch (15) and/or a bypass valve (16) of a filter system (30). Furthermore, the invention relates to a filter element, a filter system and a method for filtering liquid.

  • Patent number: 10010816
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filter device for filtering a hydraulic fluid comprising a housing having fluid through-openings for hydraulic fluid to be filtered to flow into the housing and for filtered hydraulic fluid to flow out of the housing, and having an assembly opening for inserting a filter element into the housing, the assembly opening being closable by a cover. In order to further develop the filter device such that it can be selectively configured in a cost-effective manner as a suction filter, return filter or return-suction filter, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that different filter elements be insertable into the housing, and that different functional modules be insertable into the housing or connectable to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20180126307
    Abstract: A filter device for filtering hydraulic liquid is provided, which has a housing having a housing upper part and a housing lower part. The housing upper part has a housing inlet and a housing outlet. A filter element is arranged in the housing lower part. The filter element has a dirty side in communication with the housing inlet and a clean side in communication with the housing outlet. The housing upper part comprises a convexly curved interior wall. An insertable flow-guiding element is arranged in the housing upper part which divides the housing upper part into a dirty region and a clean region. The dirty region is in communication with the dirty side of the filter element and the housing inlet opens into the dirty region. The clean region is in communication with the clean side of the filter element and the housing outlet leads out of the clean region.
