Hydac HFM Inline Pressure Filter, up to 400 bar and 140 l/min

Description

A compact 400 bar filter for pump outlet lines

The Hydac HFM is a compact inline pressure filter with a ductile iron head and a cold-extruded steel bowl. It is rated at 400 bar and is meant for lines where space is tight and pressure is high, such as pump outlets on mobile machines and small power units.

Two sizes are listed, HFM 75 and HFM 95, with flow up to 140 l/min. A bypass valve is standard, and the clogging indicator sits on top of the head so it stays visible when the filter is installed in a block or frame.

Model code and replacement parts

The datasheet example is HFM ON 75 S J 10 D 1 .X /-L24: series, Optimicron element, size 75, pressure letter S (400 bar), port J (G1), 10 µm, a visual-and-electrical indicator (D), type code 1, modification X and a 24 V lamp. Indicator letters are W (no port), A (screw plug), B (visual), C (electrical) and D (visual and electrical). Supplementary details are B7 for the standard bypass, lamp voltage (L24 to L220) or LED, FPM seals and HFA or HFC suitability.

The replacement element is 0075 D 010 ON or the 0095 equivalent, and the matching indicator is VD 5 D .X.

Installation notes

The filter is installed inline. Earth the housing, and switch off the supply before unplugging an electrical indicator. Compatible fluids are mineral hydraulic oils H to HLPD, lubrication and compressor oils and the biodegradable HETG, HEES and HEPG types; fluids with a water content above 50 percent are available on request.

Confirm the connection (G3/4 or G1), the micron rating and whether the indicator should be electrical when you order. For an exact replacement, the old filter’s nameplate code removes any doubt about size and pressure class.

For sizing, the datasheet gives gradient coefficients in mbar per l/min at 30 mm2/s. For Optimicron elements the HFM 75 values are 5.40 at 10 µm and 2.48 at 20 µm, and the HFM 95 values are 4.33 and 1.92. Total pressure drop is the housing drop plus flow times coefficient, scaled in proportion to viscosity, which is why a cold start with thick oil shows a much higher differential pressure than the same filter at running temperature.

About brand

Hydraulic power units around the world carry Hydac parts: accumulators, filters, coolers, valves and the sensors that watch pressure and temperature. The company was founded in 1963 in Sulzbach/Saar, Germany. Seven Star LLC lists Hydac SB330 bladder accumulators, RFM return line filters and the EDS 3400 and ETS 1700 electronic switches, and sources Hydac spare parts for plants in Oman and the GCC.

Hydac product families

Hydac groups its program into hydraulics and filtration (filters, accumulators, sensors and measurement), control technology (valves, control blocks, ball valves), thermal management (air and fluid coolers) and drive technology (pumps, motors, cylinders). The four listed products come from the first group and are common on lube oil skids, presses, turbine control units and mobile machines.

Ordering Hydac parts: what we need

  • Accumulators: full model code, volume, pressure rating, bladder material and the approval required
  • Filters and elements: housing code, element code, micron rating and clogging indicator type
  • EDS and ETS switches: full code with range, output version and connector

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pressure rating of the HFM?
400 bar nominal. Between -30 and -10 °C the datasheet limits it to 200 bar.
What sizes and ports are available?
HFM 75 and HFM 95 with G3/4 or G1 ports.
Is a bypass valve included?
Yes. A bypass valve is standard, with a 7 bar cracking pressure as the usual option B7.
Where is the clogging indicator?
On the top of the head, using the VD indicator for pressures up to 420 bar.
Which element is used?
Optimicron elements in ratings from 1 to 20 µm, with a collapse pressure of 20 bar.
