Key Components & Design Features ank Body – Typically made of steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastic, designed to withstand pressure and corrosion.
Baffles – Internal plates that prevent fluid turbulence, promote cooling, and aid in contaminant settling.
Inlet & Outlet Ports – Ensure proper fluid flow between the tank and hydraulic pump.
Air Breather & Filter – Prevents dust and moisture from entering while allowing air exchange.
Drain Plug – Allows easy removal of old or contaminated fluid.
Sight Glass/Dipstick – Monitors oil level to prevent under- or overfilling.
Heating/Cooling Elements – Some tanks include coils or heaters to maintain optimal fluid temperature.
