Magnetic screen
(1) Outlet passage
(2) Screen
(3) Magnets
(4) Tube assemblyA magnetic screen is attached to the bevel gear case at the inlet to the power train oil pump. Oil from the bottom of the bevel gear case flows through an inlet passage.As the oil flows through screen (2), foreign particles in the oil are stopped by the screen. The screen prevents the particles from entering the power train oil system.The oil first travels across magnets (3) which removes magnetic particles. Magnets (3) are arranged on tube assembly (4) with the same magnetic ends next to each other.The oil goes through the screen to prevent debris from entering the power train oil system.Then, the oil flows through outlet passage (1) to the power train oil pump.
