Eaton US 40 Hydraulic Offline Filtration System: Stationary Filtration Solution
The Eaton US 40 is a premier stationary offline filtration system designed to maintain the purity of hydraulic and lubrication fluids. As industrial machinery becomes increasingly sophisticated, the need for high-performance fluid conditioning has never been greater. The US 40 series offers a robust solution for removing solid contaminants, thereby extending the service life of both the fluid and the system components.
Purecowater supplies this advanced filtration technology to help industries tackle complex liquid filtration challenges. Below, we detail the specifications, features, and operational benefits of this extensive filtration unit.
Product Overview
The Eaton US 40 is an offline filtration unit, meaning it operates independently of the main hydraulic system’s circuit. This configuration allows for continuous filtration even when the main machinery is offline or operating at variable flows. It utilizes high-efficiency Glass Fiber Fleece (VG) media to capture fine particles that standard inline filters might miss. This system is specifically designed for mineral oils and hydraulic fluids (fluid group 2).
By integrating the US 40 into your maintenance strategy, you can achieve reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs associated with component wear and fluid replacement.

Features and Benefits
- High Efficiency Media: The unit employs filter elements based on DIN 24550-4 standards, utilizing Microglass (VG) media which provides exceptional dirt-holding capacity and reliable retention rates.
- Compact Stationary Design: Designed to be permanently installed or stationed near hydraulic reservoirs, occupying minimal floor space while delivering maximum filtration performance.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of viscosity grades, making it adaptable to different hydraulic oil types.
- Compliance: Meets PED 2014/68/EU standards for mineral oils, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance in industrial environments.
Why Choose Offline Filtration?
Hydraulic systems often generate internally produced contaminants such as metal shavings from wear and oxidation products (varnish). While inline pressure filters handle the bulk of flow, they often cannot filter fine particles without causing significant pressure drops. The Eaton US 40 circulates the fluid at a lower pressure, allowing for much finer filtration (down to 3 microns with the specified 3VG element) without disrupting the main operation.
Applications
The US 40 is engineered for various heavy-duty applications, including:
- Hydraulic Power Units
- Lubrication Systems for Turbines and Compressors
- Gearbox Lubrication
- Injection Molding Machines
- Steel and Paper Mill Hydraulics
