Forklift oil filter can also be called forklift oil grid. Forklift oil filter is one of the four filters for forklifts.
The four filters of the forklift refer to the oil filter, air filter, gear box filter, diesel filter or gasoline filter, all the oil, air, diesel oil used in the forklift parts of the engine and gear box system , gasoline or hydraulic transmission oil in the gearbox need to pass through various filters. The function of these filters is like a shield to bring bad substances from the outside world, such as dust in the air or bad substances in various oils, into the body of the forklift. The main function of the forklift oil filter is to filter out impurities such as metal wear debris and colloid in the forklift oil, maintain the cleanliness of the forklift lubricating oil, prolong the service life of the lubricating oil, and ensure the normal operation of the forklift engine parts.
At present, most of the newly produced forklifts use a one-time rotary oil filter, and it is stipulated that the forklift must be replaced when it travels more than 8000-10000km or works for more than 200-250 hours. Of course, different forklifts and different operating environments may have slightly different replacement cycles. Forklifts that are not frequently used can be replaced every three months. However, when the forklift is undergoing major maintenance, it is better to replace the forklift oil filter, the air filter, the gearbox filter, the diesel filter or the gasoline filter at the same time. Because with the increase of the age of the forklift and the increase of the operating hours, the oil filter of the forklift will work for a long time and reach a certain life cycle, which will lead to the failure of the forklift to accelerate the speed, increase the fuel consumption, increase the noise, and reduce the control performance. Therefore, , Change it when it's time to change, don't lose the big because of the small.
Forklift oil filters can be mainly divided into the following three types to filter oil.
1. The oil filter is used to filter out the larger impurities in the lubricating oil and prevent it from entering the oil pump to block the oil passage. It is generally a metal mesh type and is installed before the oil inlet of the oil pump.
2. The oil coarse filter is used to filter out the large impurities (diameter above 0.05-0.1mm) in the oil. It has less resistance to the oil flow. It is generally connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil passage. It belongs to Full flow filter.
3. The oil fine filter is used to eliminate tiny impurities (gum and water with a diameter of less than 0.05mm). Because of its large flow negative force, it is connected in parallel with the main oil passage, and only about 10% of the lubricating oil passes through, which belongs to the split-flow filter.
