Baldwin Filters, Inc.

Tyler Seamons

A filter assembly has a threaded cover that mates with a complementary thread on the filter housing. Rotation of the housing cover in a first direction moves the cover axially away from the housing, and rotation of the housing cover in a second direction opposite the first direction moves the cover axially toward the housing. An intermittent coupling between a filter housing cover and a filter element applies intermittent axial forces to the filter element as the housing cover is rotated in the first direction to separate the filter element from the housing along with the cover. The intermittent coupling includes components on the inside of the filter cover that engage with complementary components on the filter element during each revolution of the cover.
