• SFW+F+a: with flat dipstick.

• SFW-BA+F+a: with zinc-plated steel sheet bayonet and flat dipstick.

Maximum continuous working temperature

100°C.

The use of SFW. pressurised breather caps which create a pressure plenum chamber right above the oil level within tested limit conditions, in order to avoid any reservoir deformation, offers the following advantages:

• reduces reservoir air volume intake keeping clean oil and filter

• improves suction pump action during working conditions reducing cavitation phenomenon

• prevents fluid leakage when the system is part of a mobile unit

• reduces foam in fluid.

Technical data

Air flow rate for the different executions of breather caps can be obtained from the diagram on the basis of the difference of air pressure inside and outside the reservoir.

• Black cover.

• Threaded connector also with NPT thread (National Taper Pipe Thread - ANSI-ASME B1-20) for the codes marked with # in the table.
