Hydraulic systems require a fluid to operate, which must be clean and free of contamination. For this purpose, we developed a magnetic filter as an additional component for filtering magnetic particles from the hydraulic system fluid. The filter consists of a housing with a neodymium magnetic rod inside for filtration. We tested the magnetic filter on a hydraulic system, and according to the SIST ISO 4406 standard, it improved the oil cleanliness in the system from 25/24/23 to 20/20/18. We also tested the effect of inlet and outlet positioning on filtration and found that it does not affect the final result.
