New Elesa SFX series hydraulic anti-splash breather caps, plus dipstick

New Elesa SFX series hydraulic anti-splash breather caps, plus dipstick

Elesa now offers a variety of different breather cap solutions to sealing hydraulic tank fillers while enabling air interchange as fluid is drawn from or returned to the hydraulic reservoir. These new caps enable pressure equalisation between the inside and outside of the tank while at the same time using proprietary labyrinth geometry of semi-discs as a major barrier to spillage. This is especially applicable when the equipment is used at variable angles with violent changes of orientation – for example for mobile equipment such as earthmoving-plant, or simply for machines in transit.
