Description
OEI Magnetic Filter Plugs are the high quality replacement for OEM ceramic magnet drain plugs. Designed with the highest quality rare-earth magnets fastened to the plug body, the magnetic filter plug captures abrasive wear particles and prevents them from circulating throughout the system. OEI Magnetic Filter Plugs have a high holding capacity and they resist vibration and high- temperatures that typically reduce conventional magnet strength over time.
OEI Magnetic Filter Plugs are effective predictive maintenance tools when integrated into maintenance programs.
Benefits
» Extend the life of critical systems such as differentials, wheel motors, and final drives by indicating component wear and preventing system failures.
» Do not degrade from heat and vibration.
» Capture ferrous and non-ferrous contamination.
Efficiency
| Magnetic Filter Plug | Ferrous Contamination | Captures ferrous wear particles down to and below 1 μ with up to 99+% efficiency. |
| Non-ferrous Contamination | Non-ferrous particles are magnetically captured because of cross-contamination from embedded ferrous particles. |
Operating Parameters
| Pressure Rating | Standard | < 20.7 bar (300 psi) |
| High Pressure | < 413.7 bar (6000 psi) |
| Temperature Rating | Standard | < 150° C (300° F ) |
| High Heat | < 300° C (600° C) |
Cleaning
Remove the contamination with a lab cloth/non-fiber cloth that absorbs the contamination. Save the cloth in a sample bag to send for analysis.
Best Practice: Place the entire magnetic filter plug into a sample bag and send it for analysis. Replace it with a new magnetic filter plug and recycle the old one after analysis.
