Product catalog summary
Features
  • The filter material is highly efficient for capturing ultra-fine particles and has high dirt retention capabilities.
  • It adsorbs air humidity to reduce the risk of corrosion in hydraulic tanks.
  • The filter includes an exchangeable cartridge and water-absorbing granules.
  • Optional check valves are available to prevent air exchange during no-load operation.
  • Available sizes range from 25 to 125, with a maximum operating pressure of 1 bar.
  • The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 85°C.
Ordering Code
  • Series: BFSK with water-absorbing granules.
  • Sizes available: 25, 40, 80, 125.
  • Component series: 2X.
  • Filter rating: 3 μm glass fiber material.
  • Seal type: NBR seals.
  • Material: Plastic for size 25, stainless steel for sizes 40-125.
  • Check valve options are available.
Function

The BFSK vent and bleed filter ensures clean and dry air exchange in hydraulic systems, preventing corrosion by filtering out particles and moisture. It can be equipped with check valves to prevent air exchange during no-load operation and includes a visual maintenance indicator.

Technical Data
  • The cracking pressure of the check valve is 0.01 bar.
  • Weight varies by size, from 0.4 kg to 4.1 kg.
  • The installation position is vertical.
  • Material: Steel replacement cartridge, polymethyl methacrylate housing.
  • Maximum water absorption varies by size, from 0.028 l to 0.576 l.
Assembly and Maintenance

Installation requires matching the connection thread with the tank cap. Regular maintenance involves replacing the cartridge and WA granules when indicators show saturation. Servicing should not occur below 10°C.

Directives and Standardization

The BFSK filters are not classified under the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and are not suitable for explosive areas as per Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX).

Tightening Torques

For adapter plates AP1, AP2, and APCV, the specified tightening torque is 5 Nm with a tolerance of ± 1 Nm. Six screws are required, with dimensions M5 x 60, M5 x 80, and M5 x 110. The recommended property class for screws is 8.8.

Vent and bleed filter, water-absorbing-5

Vent and bleed filter | BFSK 25 … 125 5/14 Function, section In hydraulics, air exchange at the fluid tank must be ensured at all times. Depending on the machine cycles, air is sucked into the tank and pressed out again. The air contains miniature particles as well as water vapor. Due to temperature variations, the exchanged air condenses and stimulates the oxidation process of the oil. This leads to corrosion resulting in damage to the fluid tank. By means of the Hengst BFSK vent and bleed filter, the fluid tank can suck in and give off clean and dry air. It is intended to be directly attached...
