Plastic Filter Element For Power Steering Hydraulic Fluid

For any motorist, a problem with the steering when driving certainly comes into the "worst case" category. To prevent this from happening, a new filter element from Mann+Hummel protects power steering hydraulic fluid systems against dirt. The power steering mechanisms on modern vehicles are high quality technical components. Any disturbance can have unpleasant consequences. This system is crucial for safety, and must be specially protected against contamination. Mann+Hummel has developed a new filter element for the power steering hydraulic fluid. It is fitted directly on the lock cap of the oil reservoir, the only place where dirt could, under certain conditions, penetrate the sealed hydraulic system, for example when checking or topping up the oil. When a hydraulic fluid unit is assembled, scrupulous attention is paid to the cleanliness of the component. The filter must therefore meet stringent requirements too. This aspect will become increasingly important in the future. Our filter element development engineers have designed a 100% plastic filter, as plastic moulded parts are essentially cleaner than those produced from sheet metal.
