LYC-A Series Oil Filters: Cost-Effective Choice for General Industrial Oil Treatment

Introduction  

The LYC-A Series Oil Filters from LeFilter are designed for general industrial oil purification needs, such as small hydraulic stations, ordinary machine tools, and basic lubrication systems. Unlike the 3-stage filtration of the LYC-B Series, this series adopts a 2-stage filtration structure (100μm coarse filter + secondary fine filter) to efficiently remove particles above 3-40μm, meeting the cleanliness standard of ISO 4406 15/12. With a rated flow range of 25-150L/min, working temperature of 5-80℃, and motor power of 0.55-3.0kW, it features low energy consumption and easy maintenance (tool-free filter replacement via quick-open housing). Its cost advantage (15%-20% lower than the LYC-B Series) makes it an ideal option for users with general oil cleanliness requirements.

Operation

1. The machine consists of a motor-driven gear pump, dedicating low noise, strong self-absorption capacity, and smooth running characteristics.

2. The high-pressure pipe with overflow protection devices, which can efectively protect the safety of the hydraulic system.

3. The use of thermal relay protection to prevent motor damage caused by motor overload.

4. Coarse filtration of suction port can protect the pump and extend the life of the main filter.

5. After the pump has two precision filters,so the oil can quickly reach high cleanliness.

6. First precision filter can filter out the larger particles of impurities, and secondary precision filter can filter out smaller particles or moisture.

7. The precision filter chosen by different users for different precision, can provide better protection for the system.

8. Precision oil filtration housing with quick open structure, which can quickly open the cover and replace the filter without any tools.

9. Pressure gauge equipped on the panel, can show the continuous indication of the degree of contamination of the system operating conditions and filter.

Q&A: Your Concerns, Answered

Q1: How do I choose the right filtration precision for my needs?
A1: Select based on system requirements. For general hydraulic systems, 10–20μm is sufficient; for high-precision equipment (e.g., servo valves), 3–5μm is recommended. The B series offers tertiary filtration for extreme cleanliness needs.

Q2: How often should the filters be replaced?
A2: Monitor the pressure gauge—when pressure loss exceeds 0.01 MPa, replace the filter. In typical industrial use, this occurs every 200–500 operating hours (varies by oil contamination level).

Q3: Can the LYC filter handle high-viscosity oils?
A3: Yes, it supports viscosities of 10–160 CSt, covering most industrial oils (hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, turbine oil, etc.). For oils above 160 CSt, contact us for customized configurations.

Q4: What’s the difference between A and B series?
A4: The A series has two filtration stages (coarse + secondary precision), while the B series adds a tertiary precision filter—ideal for applications requiring ultra-clean oil (e.g., aerospace, precision machinery).
