Ingress of airborne contaminants into hydraulic systems can cause a number of costly issues, including increased wear on pumps and cylinders, decreased performance, shorter maintenance intervals, and added downtime.
The Parker AB Series comprises a full range of top-mounted breathers and filler breathers designed to prevent this by keeping out harmful contaminants and allowing the tank / fluid reservoir to effectively breath during equipment operation.
Multiple configurations are available to meet the unique requirements of customers’ hydraulic systems, including:
Filler Breathers - Glass-filled nylon or plated metal steel. Multiple installation available including single hole, three hole, or six hole installation. Flow rates up 620 L/min (163 GMP).
Screw-on type Breathers - Glass-filled nylon or plated metal steel. Multiple connection types available. Flow rates up to 620 L/min (163 GPM). Dipsticks available with all options (two lengths and in packs of 10).
Lockable Fillers and Filler Breathers (metal) - Pressurized and unpressurized threaded types available. For added reservoir security and oil protection, certain metal filler breathers can be specified with a locking lug option.
AB Series breathers and filler breathers are ideally suited for equipment required to operate in environments laden with dirt and dust.
Benefits
• Prevents contamination and ingress of dirt, sand, dust, metal, etc. into hydraulic circuits, while allowing sufficient airflow into and out of the fluid reservoir
• Lengthens time in between required maintenance intervals, reduces operating costs, and extends overall equipment/machine operational life
