Elesa put pressure on breather caps for hydraulic systems

Standard components from market leader Elesa have many advantages – quality, fit and performance being crucial aspects as well as cost savings associated with these benefits. An often overlooked aspect however is the great deal of R&D that goes into the production of each individual component. This is especially apparent in their range of hydraulic breather caps for pressurised tank systems.

The SMN and SMW breather caps offer single and double valve operation so as to smooth out the pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic fluid reservoir as oil is rapidly drawn out or returned to the tank. A simple open vent would allow ingress of contaminants as well as outflow or spillage. So the SMN/W breather caps not only manage the pressure change, they also filter air flow and seal the tank so enabling the hydraulic pump itself to operate at its optimum by reducing fluid foaming and pump cavitation.

SMN/W breathers feature rugged chrome plated steel caps containing the necessary filtering and valving – they are also available as /BA bayonet fixing variants for even quicker usage. Further information on Elesa (UK) Ltd products may be found at www.elesa.co.uk
