Hydraulic oil and fluids are becoming more advanced and sophisticated in order to increase efficiency, but with these changes come filtration and conditioning challenges. Maintenance and filtration requirements are more complex than ever, and this calls for a new standard in filter element technology. HYDAC SUSTAINMICRON® is the newest and most efficient and reliable element technology, combining features from HYDAC’s tried-and-tested Optimicron® (ON), Optimicron Pulse® (ON/PS), and Stat-Free® (SFREE) element technologies.
Contamination is the number one cause of hydraulic system failure, from individual power units to plant-wide networks. SUSTAINMICRON® helps keep oil clean across all your hydraulic and lubrication systems, delivering high cleanliness classes, reduced energy costs, and sustainable oil filtration, plus differential pressure reduction of up to 30%, electrostatic optimization via a special bi-component fiber in the black outer wrap, and high flexural fatigue strength.
SUSTAINMICRON® is 100% compatible with and can be used as an alternative to HYDAC’s well-known and proven Optimicron® elements.
Advantages of the New Standard in Element Technology
Differential Pressure Reduction
Compared to HYDAC’s previous element standard, Optimicron®, SUSTAINMICRON® reduces differential pressure by up to an additional 30% and provides high bending and change stability.
Electrostatic Optimization
The unique black outer sleeve on SUSTAINMICRON® uses a special bi-component fiber that supports ESD protection, significantly contributing to the electrostatic optimization of the entire filter element. This optimization allows for longer oil service life, reduced wear, and enhanced system safety.
High Flexural Fatigue Strength
The new intelligent element is designed to prevent filter breakthrough, which provides high dynamic stability.
