Magnetic filtration is an inexpensive way to more effectively filter engine oil. It works by adding a magnet to the oil filter, which pulls out very fine iron and other particles that standard filters miss. Laboratory tests show magnetic filtration filters out over 6 times more particles than standard filters and reduces engine wear by a factor of 14. Some manufacturers, like Kubota tractors, already incorporate magnetic filtration directly into their oil filters during production. Aftermarket magnetic filter inserts provide a low-cost way to upgrade older filters and engines with magnetic filtration's superior particle removal capabilities.
Applications & benefits of magnetic filtrationfiltermag
Magnetic filtration provides an effective way to remove ferrous particles from lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids. Magnetic filters work by using magnets arranged to produce magnetic fields and gradients that attract and collect iron and steel particles from the fluid flow. There are various types of magnetic filters including magnetic plugs, rod magnets, flow-through filters, and spin-on filter wraps. While magnetic filters have advantages like reusability and limited flow restriction, factors like particle size and fluid conditions influence their separating effectiveness. Magnetic filtration can extend filter life, improve machine reliability, and aid in machine condition monitoring.

Molygraph has been developing lubricants using the most advanced chemistries available. If Molygraph isn’t a part of your equipment, you should consider it… Or rather use it. We all know that industrial chains suffer more from bad lubrication rather than workload. Regular maintenance and lubrication are preconditions for low wear and long service life of the chain drive. The maintenance and lubrication frequency, as well as the related re-lubrication, are determined by the operating conditions of the application.
Sufficient and effective lubrication increases the length of life of the chains several times over. The selection of the correct lubricant and the appropriate method of lubrication guarantee reduction of wear, protection from corrosion and optional damping characteristics.
Even though many of the low-speed chains run successfully, with little or no oil, routine lubrication on the production line greatly extends the service life of the equipment. Chain drives are required for the lubrication of the six main objectives:
• Removal of any foreign material.
• To prevent rust or damage.
• Withstand the wear and tear of the pin
• Dissipate the heat.
• Shock-absorption.

The results showed that adding MoS2 or CuO nanoparticles improved the oil's friction reduction and anti-wear performance compared to the unmodified oil. Specifically, the modified oils exhibited lower coefficients of friction and wear rates. This tribological behavior is attributed to the nanoparticles depositing on rubbing surfaces during testing.

- The document describes an experimental study on the effect of magnetic fields on diesel engine performance.
- The study involved placing magnets on the fuel inlet lines of a diesel engine to subject the fuel to magnetic fields. It is hypothesized this would better align hydrocarbon molecules and improve combustion.
- Tests were conducted at varying engine loads both with and without magnets. Results found that with magnets, brake specific fuel consumption was reduced, fuel consumption decreased, and thermal efficiency increased compared to the no magnet condition.
Similar to Magnetic filtration the next generation of filters (20)
This document provides preliminary field data on the performance of FilterMag magnetic filter add-ons used in various industrial and on-road equipment. Across different equipment types including loaders, haul trucks, dump trucks and more, the FilterMag consistently showed an ability to reduce wear-causing particles in engine oil and extend oil change intervals. In lab tests, a FilterMag captured over 5 million wear particles in just one hour of engine break-in operation. The field data demonstrates the FilterMag's effectiveness at enhancing oil cleanliness and protecting engines.
FilterMag is a magnetic filter attachment that captures and holds wear-causing metal particles in engine and equipment oil filters to reduce wear and extend equipment life. It works by positioning strong neodymium magnets inside the filter to attract tiny steel particles, preventing them from recirculating through the engine. Independent studies show this can extend component life up to 200%. FilterMag attachments are available for a wide range of oil, fuel, hydraulic and transmission filters used in engines, compressors, pumps and other oilfield equipment. The document provides examples of how FilterMag can be applied to various systems on an oil drilling rig to maximize equipment reliability and lifespan.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a universal standard for measuring particulate contamination levels in fluids called ISO Cleanliness Codes. The codes are assigned based on the number of particles per unit volume above certain micron sizes. Keeping fluid cleanliness at or below the recommended ISO Code is important to prevent accelerated wear and failure of mechanical components. Industry is increasingly implementing contamination control programs that utilize ISO Cleanliness Codes to optimize system reliability and reduce costs from downtime and maintenance.
Practicing oil analysis it's all about sizefiltermag
The document discusses the importance of proper lubrication film thickness in machinery. It notes that lubrication films are typically only a few microns thick, thinner than what the human eye or touch can detect. Contaminant particles between 2-20 microns are most damaging to machines as they are small enough to penetrate thin lubrication films and cause wear. The document recommends regular oil analysis to monitor for contaminants and prevent machinery damage.
This study examined the effect of lube oil filtration on engine wear in city buses. The researchers tested oil filters in the laboratory to determine micron ratings and conducted field tests on city buses powered by Detroit Diesel 6V92 engines. They used oil analysis to monitor engine wear and compare different filtration systems. The results showed that finer full-flow oil filters and additional bypass filters reduced particle concentrations in the oil and corresponding levels of engine wear metals. This supports findings from previous laboratory studies that better filtration of lubricating oil at smaller micron sizes decreases engine wear.
1) The study examined how wear debris in lubricating oil influences rolling contact fatigue life in bearings.
2) Testing found that reducing the filtration level of the oil from 40 μm to 3 μm increased fatigue life by up to 7 times.
3) Analysis of failed bearings showed that early failures, which most influence calculated bearing life, were initiated by wear debris indentations on the surface rather than subsurface fatigue as previously believed.
Abstract review of lubricant contamination and diesel engine wearfiltermag
Lubricant contamination is a major cause of engine wear. Contaminant particles smaller than 10 microns can simultaneously contact opposing engine surfaces, concentrating stress and degrading the surfaces. This leads to reduced fuel efficiency, shorter oil change intervals, lower component life, and worse performance. Operating with clean oil filtered to 10 microns or smaller results in better fuel economy, longer oil life, superior performance, and greater engine durability. The paper reviews lubricant contamination, lubrication modes, and primary wear mechanisms and discusses studies on the relationship between contamination, wear, and performance.
This document summarizes the results of a field testing program that evaluated the performance of different diesel engine oils at extended oil drain intervals. In a 59-truck trial conducted over 2-3 years, the data showed that using a premium mineral diesel oil allowed safe extension of drain intervals compared to a conventional mineral oil. A premium synthetic oil maintained performance at four times the normal drain interval without negatively impacting engine durability. The synthetic oil also provided approximately a 3% reduction in fuel consumption compared to conventional mineral oil.

This document summarizes a study of a new synthetic diesel engine oil. The oil was tested in laboratory tests and field tests in heavy-duty diesel engines. The synthetic base stocks allowed the oil to meet viscosity requirements for cold starting while maintaining performance at high temperatures. In extended engine tests and field tests of up to four times normal drain intervals, the oil demonstrated excellent engine wear protection and oil consumption control. It also provided over 4% improved fuel economy compared to conventional mineral oils.
95255 abstract effect of physical characteristicsfiltermag
This document summarizes a study on the effect of lubricating oil physical characteristics on emissions, fuel economy, and oil consumption in light duty diesel engines. The study found that lubricating oil characteristics can impact engine mechanical efficiency and the amount of fuel consumed. They can also affect the amount of lubricating oil that is drawn into the combustion chamber from pistons and valves. The physical properties of lubricating oils, such as viscosity and volatility, were found to influence exhaust emissions levels and fuel economy in diesel engines.
The document discusses wear particle analysis, which uses oil sample testing and microscopy to identify wear modes in machinery. By examining wear metal particles’ characteristics like size and shape, the analysis can determine the machine's past and predict future wear issues. Identifying abnormal wear modes allows corrective actions to prevent further damage and recurrence of problems.
Used oil analysis is a poor method to evaluate magnetic filtration effectiveness, while ISO particle counting is a standard cleanliness test. Field tests show FilterMag improves oil cleanliness by 1-3 ISO codes, which can increase engine life expectancy by 30-200% according to research on how cleaner oil extends component life.
FilterMag magnetic oil filtration systems remove ferrous and non-ferrous particles from engine oil and hydraulic fluid through two main mechanisms:
1) Magnetic attraction traps iron-bearing particles against the filter wall, and physically entangled non-magnetic particles also become trapped.
2) A strong magnetic field induces an electrostatic charge in conductive particles, attracting them electrostatically to the filter wall along with layered ferrous debris. This removes contaminants like aluminum, copper, and carbon soot that are not normally magnetic. The system is also effective due to its ability to remove the most abrasive steel particles, indirectly reducing other metal wear.
The document discusses how dirty diesel fuel is silently destroying modern high-pressure diesel fuel systems. Modern fuel systems operate at much higher pressures than in the past, up to 30,000 psi. This has exposed a problem with ultra-fine particle contamination in fuel that is abrasive and causing components like pumps and injectors to fail prematurely. While fuel filters and engine filters only catch particles larger than 30 and 15 microns respectively, the problem is particles as small as 2-10 microns that are reducing component life. Fleet operators need to test fuel quality and implement filtration to remove harmful ultra-fine contaminants to protect their fuel systems and avoid costly repairs.

Magnetic filtration the next generation of filters
1. Engine Oil Filters (Part V): Magnet filtration-The next
generation of filters
By Paul Dilger
Before we proceed with our series on oil filters, let’s briefly recap the topics we have covered in the past four
issues of OPE. In part one, we learned about the history of canister-type spin-on filters, the basic filter
components and the various base plate designs. In part two, we looked at solutions for removing filters from
engines, the filter thread types and their specifications, anti-drain back membrane seals and their problems,
base plate to element couplings, and different types of springs. Part three covered bearing clearances on
contemporary engines with respect to particle size filtration, SAE filter standards, the beta factor, filter
efficiencies, research findings from micro-micron (smaller than a micron) filtration, and differences between
industrial and consumer standards. In part four, we discussed concerns with environmentally friendly oil
filters, oil pump priming failures, filter by-pass relief valve problems, and center tubes. As stated in the
headline above, part five will explore magnetic filtration.
Based on my research on oil filters, I have come to the conclusion that most
engine manufacturers specify oil filters that have an effective average efficiency
of around 25 microns (plus or minus 5 microns) in particle size for warranty
purposes. This does not mean everything above 25 microns is filtered out —
far from it! Laboratory test data reveals that a percentage of the particles
greater than 25 microns (like 40 and 50 microns) passes through most filters to
some degree. Tests show the majority of normal wear on an engine comes
from particles 2 to 10 microns in size that pass freely through oil filters that
meet the manufacturer’s recommendations and are sold by all the filter
companies. Also, keep in mind that if an automobile manufacturer specifies a
particular filter, that same specification remains today. As the technology
develops, the specifications for older model engines do not seem to be updated
with the new technology. Some aftermarket manufacturers, however, do
update their product lines for the older engines. It is the responsibility of the
engine owner to do the research on older engines and never assume that new
technology has been incorporated into the original specifications.
Figure 1: Magnetic
Magnetic filtration, where a magnet is added to the oil filter to pull out very fine filtration is used in
iron and other particles, is a very inexpensive solution to the problem of filter
media deficiencies. Industry has historically used magnetic filtration to process industry to filter
engine oil, hydraulic oil and diesel fuel (see Figure 1). In my opinion, magnetic engine oil, hydraulic
filtration is the key to effective filtration and the preservation of newer engines oil, gasoline and
that are built to finer tolerances. As long as the maximum-sized particles in the
oil are even close in size to engine tolerances, engine wear will occur. diesel fuel.
2. In part three of this series, I mentioned that General Motors had performed
tests on oil filter efficiencies (SAE 881825). A summary of the test “Correlating
Lube Oil Filtration Efficiencies with Engine Wear” was written by David R.
Staley of General Motors. The significance of this test is far reaching since it
affects oil, air and hydraulic filters on all engine-driven equipment from small
riding mowers to automobiles, line-haul trucks, and large industrial equipment
(see Figure 2).
Mr. Staley wrote the following analysis and conclusions:
• “Analysis — The researchers found clearances in the diesel and Figure 2: Magnetic

operations. That should specifically mean particles in the 2- to 22-

• “Conclusions — Abrasive engine wear can be substantially reduced
with an increase in single-pass efficiency. Compared to a 40-micron agricultural and
filter, gasoline engine wear was reduced by 50 percent with 30- industrial equipment.
micron filtration. Likewise, wear was reduced by 70 percent with 15-
micron filtration. Controlling the abrasive contaminants in the range of 2 to 22 microns in the lube
oil is necessary for controlling engine wear.”
As was also mentioned in part three of the filter series, “Microscopic (micro-
micron) filtering gravimetrically reduced the particulate contamination from
0.016 percent to 0.0025 percent, which reduced the number of particles by a
factor of 6. It also reduced normal engine wear by a factor of 14.” Magnetic
filtration is the only practical method of achieving this microscopic level of oil
filtration at a low cost. Below are the laboratory tests on two magnetic filtration
products.

filtration. Uhrichsville, Ohio, to analyze the effectiveness of its external semi-circular
filter.
Where Magna-Guard measured particle types in its testing, FilterMAG measured particle count in 6
submicron-sized groups. By studying both types of analyses, we get a better picture of the value of magnet
filtration.
You may ask whether just any magnet will work for this
application. The answer is no. Regular store-bought magnets are
more for toys and crafts, etc. Also, non-industrial magnets have
a tendency to lose their magnetism when heated to around 200
degrees F, so their service life would be very short. Trying to use
a magnet that is not specifically designed for this purpose could
cause you to lose a magnet into your oil galley!

very small temporary magnetic field as it passes through the magnetized filter.
As these slightly polarized microscopic particles circulate, they have a tendency
to conglomerate just like a pile of small magnets would. As the particle clump
grows, its field becomes stronger since it continually passes through the filter
and magnetic field, until it is finally drawn into the magnet. The smaller the
particle, the weaker its field and the less chance of the particle being separated
from the moving fluid. So, conglomeration of non-metallic particles only occurs
very slowly over time and after many circulations within the system.

filter. The only oil filter I could find that uses “built-in” magnetic filtration is a Kubota
tractor filter that is factory installed and used on its new engines during break-in
(see Figure 4). Kubota uses a circular donut filter that overlaps the base-plate holes to ensure all oil passing
into the filter passes very close to the magnet. Figure 4 shows the amount of iron collected during the break-
in on one of its engines.
Magna-Guard sells rectangular magnets that are placed in the center tube of
a spin-on filter (see Figure 5). The magnet is inserted into the tube through
the large thread hole and then pushed back to the far end of the tube. I found
that it is almost impossible to get one out once it’s properly installed. Be sure
not to just drop it in the hole, as some tubes are plastic, aluminum or stainless
steel, and are not magnetic material.
Figure 6 shows a Magna-Guard magnet after an oil change and illustrates the
amount of iron wear particles that are circulating through the average oil filter
without being removed.

The larger the filter, the harder it is to remove the FilterMAG. The FilterMAG

There are also internal and external magnetic filters for automatic
transmissions. They are designed to be inserted in an oil cooler line or applied
to a flat portion of the transmission pan. Figure 12 shows an internal magnet
and paper filter combination sold by Wix and manufactured by Filtran for use in
automatic transmissions. Personally, I do not recommend this filter in automatic
transmission cooler lines after seeing how much debris is generated in
automatic transmissions. This small filter could become restricted and starve
the transmission for oil.
FilterMAG also makes a flat super-magnet in three sizes, shown in Figure 13,

These super-magnets are also very helpful with hydraulic systems, as well as diesel and gasoline engines. I
was also told that the magnetic field created by these super-magnets reformats the molecular structure of
distorted fuel molecules, causing them to burn more efficiently and effectively, improving fuel mileage. This
may be difficult to understand, but testing by General Motors ’ engineers proved it.
There are a few other types of magnets that work on oil filters, but I don’t think they will be as effective as
Magna-Guard and FilterMAG. I came across magnets attached to an elastic strap, a magnetic end cap that
fits on the end of the spin-on canister, and magnetic ball bearings. They may work fine, but I don’t think they
can develop as strong a magnetic field as the ones we’ve discussed.
