MAR and VLR are flanged filters installed at the top of a hydraulic reservoir. They provide two inlet sizes per model. MAR uses an aluminum-alloy housing, while VLR uses ductile iron. Both families list a 1 MPa maximum working pressure and a 1.5 MPa test pressure.
MAR

1 MPa maximum working pressure. 50 mm²/s oil with 10 µm paper.
| Catalog model or size | Port or interface | Test flow (L/min) | Pressure loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAR 08 | Rc1 , 3/4 | 120 | 0.04 MPa |
| MAR 10 | Rc1 1/4 , Rc1 1/2 | 220 | 0.04 MPa |
| MAR 12 | Rc1 1/4 , Rc1 1/2 | 300 | 0.03 MPa |
VLR

Catalog figures at 50 mm²/s oil viscosity. The table distinguishes the 20 µm and 10 µm element test points.
| Catalog model | Inlet connections | Flow with 20 µm element (L/min) | Flow with 10 µm element (L/min) | Pressure loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VLR 06 | Rc3/4 , Rc1 | 70 | 60 | 0.025 MPa |
| VLR 10 | Rc1 1/4 , Rc1 | 140 | 100 | 0.025 MPa |
| VLR 12 | Rc1 1/2 , Rc1 1/4 | 280 | 230 | 0.025 MPa |
Reservoir interface
Match the tank mounting pattern, inlet position and available internal depth. The MAR catalog permits other discharge pipe lengths by request. Include the desired length and the actual tank drawing in the specification.
Sizing the return filter
Select by the return flow and element grade. For example, the VLR table lists 280 L/min with 20 µm media and 230 L/min with 10 µm media for VLR 12 at the listed pressure drop. Leave room above the tank for the removal and installation of the element.
