Aircraft Hydraulic Filter Components

Whether you need new or replacement hydraulic filtration systems for rotorcraft or fixed-wing applications, consider Donaldson as your single source. Our hydraulic filter elements can enhance your equipment design, help protect critical components and improve your overall aircraft maintenance experience.

Hydraulic Filters for Multiple Applications

We design aircraft hydraulic fluid filters (with manifolds) to OEM or supplier specifications, or we can produce PMA filters or will-fit requests from end users. We offer innovative filtration media, component integration and system flexibility for both OEM and aftermarket applications.

Our aerospace hydraulic applications are mostly pressure, return and case drain filters (high-pressure cartridge filters) made from aluminum. Depending on the system design, they can be built into either a single manifold (like the highly integrated manifold used in Gulfstream jets) or separate stand-alone assemblies (bowl/cartridge). Our larger platforms typically have multi-function manifolds, which are space- and weight-saving and are easier to service.

New Media Technologies

Fiberglass media in aerospace applications delivers high efficiency, chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, light weight, durability, low airflow resistance and regulatory compliance. In addition, our extensive experience with hydraulic filtration in other applications allows us to explore the use of new media technologies, such as synthetic materials, metal meshes, and cellulose-based media, in order to meet your specific needs.
