AeroMag is a device that you simply snap onto standard aircraft filter, immediately turning the standard filter into a powerful magnetic oil filtration system. After many months of R&D and extensive successful testing of the AeroMag unit on a SX300 IO540 engine, AeroMag is now available to all experimental pilots. (FAA Certification is expected within the coming months).

AeroMag magnetic filtration device cleans engine oil continually by removing harmful metal contaminants from the oil, through a sophisticated and unique magnetic filtration process. By cleaning the oil continually, AeroMag filtration unit can effectively extend engine life and reduce maintenance costs.

Independent laboratory tests have shown that the standard aircraft filter is not effective in trapping particles smaller than 40-microns in size. The smaller particles easily pass through the standard filter element and contine to circulate throughout your engines lubrication system. Unfortunately, it is these smaller metal particles that contribute the most damage to your engines critical components. It has long been known that metal particles circulating in an engine's lubrication system can cause unnecessary wear and premature failure of the engine. Information obtained from SAE Paper # 881825 (Acrobat).

Even if the standard oil filter could be made to trap these smaller particles, the oil flow rate would be so restricted it would not allow a sufficient amount of oil to circulate throughout your engine to provide adequate lubrication and cooling. AeroMag effectively solves this problem. Not only does AeroMag trap and hold ferrous metal particles less than 2-microns in size against the inner wall of the filter canister, it does so without restricting the flow of the lubricating oil through the filter media.

AeroMag’s design starts with unique, precision-ground and arced neodymium magnets which are aligned in a series of alternating polarity elements to generate the greatest amount of holding force. This gives each AeroMag unit unparalleled holding power against the flow of lubrication circulation.
A critical design feature of the AeroMag device is the placement of the magnet segments onto a special steel flux member. The flux member does two jobs; it short circuits the outward magnetism blocking any stray magnetism from interfering with the instruments or components on your airplane and it also drastically increases the magnetic energy by redirecting power back into the oil filter, where you really need it. Review the Independent Stray Flux Test Report (Acrobat).

How AeroMag Circumvents the Wear Chain
As shown in the chart below you will notice a drastic reduction in the steel particle count in you oil test when using the AeroMag. You will also notice a similar reduction in the particle count of the non-ferrous metals. The reason for the reduction in non-magnetic soft metals is that the steel which the AeroMag removed can no longer rip and tear at the soft metals in your engine. Therefore, the count of soft metal particles is reduced and goes hand–in–hand with the reduction of the steel particles in the oil. A new basis for measuring engine wear is now established.


Peace of Mind
The aircraft owner/operator, always concerned with oil cleanliness can rest assured that with the addition of AeroMag’s Magnetic Oil Filtration System, the oil is cleaner than ever before possible.

If you plan to transport your AeroMag inside your aircraft, be sure to attach it to a filter to eliminate any stray flux which could affect instruments.
