An Oil Filter Base Compression Spring is a helical spring that exerts a force when compressed along its axis. It is made to provide a specific amount of force based on its dimensions and material properties. This spring sits within the filter base, positioned between the relief valve and the hydraulic sealing plug. By applying a constant force against the relief valve, it maintains the desired oil pressure within the transmission. If pressure starts to rise due to factors like clogged filters or increased engine load, the spring compresses, allowing the relief valve to open and bypass excess oil back to the sump.Attributes:• Provided with 12 N/mm Spring Rate • Manufactured to precise specifications and is built for durability and reliabilityApplications:An Oil Filter Base Compression Spring is installed within the filter base, positioned against the relief valve. During normal operation, the spring's constant force keeps the relief valve closed, maintaining the desired oil pressure within the transmission. If pressure starts to rise due to factors like clogged filters or increased engine load, the spring compresses. As the spring compresses beyond its pre-set limit, it allows the relief valve to open, bypassing excess oil back to the sump.
