For industrial hydraulic systems operating under extreme stress, the
Product Overview
The Eaton HP3 series consists of robust pressure filters made from carbon steel components, specifically designed for in-line mounting. These filters play a crucial role in protecting sensitive downstream components by removing particulate contamination from hydraulic fluids and lubricants.
With a design that supports flow from outside to inside, the HP3 series maximizes dirt-retaining capacity while maintaining high intrinsic stability. This ensures that even under pressure peaks, the filter element integrity remains uncompromised.
Key Features
- High Pressure Capability: Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 6,000 psi (420 bar).
- Durable Construction: Constructed with EN-GJS-400-18-LT housings and carbon steel filter bowls.
- Filtration Efficiency: Utilizes star-shaped, pleated filter material (often glass fiber fleece) for excellent filtration capability.
- Versatile Indicators: Equipped with visual and electrical differential pressure (DP) indicators to monitor element condition.
- Valve Options: Available with bypass and reversing valves to suit various system configurations.

Applications
The Eaton HP3 pressure filter is versatile and compatible with a wide range of fluids, making it suitable for various industrial sectors including manufacturing, power generation, and mobile hydraulics.
- Petroleum-based fluids: Standard mineral oils used in hydraulic power units.
- HW-emulsions: High water-content fluids requiring specific filtration media.
- Water glycols: Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.
- Synthetic and lubrication fluids: Advanced industrial lubricants.
Why Choose the Eaton HP3?
Hydraulic systems are prone to failure if particulate matter is allowed to circulate through pumps and valves. The HP3 series offers a long service life and high dirt-retaining capacity, reducing the frequency of maintenance intervals and downtime. The inclusion of visual or electrical indicators ensures operators know exactly when to change the filter element, preventing bypass and ensuring continuous protection.
