Hydac 0160RN003BN4HC, direct aftermarket replacement. This filter is a direct replacement hydraulic filter element manufactured to the original dimensions and ratings. Its inorganic microfibre media delivers reliable 5-micron filtration, capturing fine contaminants that could otherwise damage pumps, valves and actuators. With a collapse pressure rating of 10 bar and an outside-to-in flow path, the element maintains integrity under demanding hydraulic conditions. Dimensions of 160 mm height, 100 mm largest outer diameter and 52.6 mm largest inner diameter ensure drop-in compatibility with standard housings used across Hydac hydraulic systems. This aftermarket alternative cross-references to elements from Epe, Fai Filtri, Fleetguard-ST, Internormen, Mahle, Oxfil, Pall, Rexroth and Stauff, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance or protection.

Use cases & applications
Continuous-Duty Industrial Systems
In production machinery that runs around the clock, consistent filtration is critical. This filter maintains oil cleanliness over extended cycles, reducing unscheduled downtime and extending the life of expensive hydraulic components.
Mobile Hydraulics in Dusty Worksites
Excavators, loaders and agricultural equipment often operate in dusty, high-contamination environments. This filter handles the influx of airborne particles, protecting hydraulic systems from abrasive wear and ensuring reliable machine availability.
Scheduled Fleet Maintenance
For service centres managing multiple Hydac-equipped assets, this filter provides a single, cost-effective replacement element for scheduled change-outs. Keeping inventory simple and predictable maintenance budgets are direct benefits.
Inventory Consolidation
Cross-referencing to ten major filter brands, this element reduces the need to stock multiple part numbers. A single this filter can fulfill the requirements of diverse equipment without compromising fit or performance.
Frequently asked questions
Will this filter fit my Hydac filter housing?
It is designed as a direct replacement for elements used in standard Hydac housings that accept a 100 mm outer diameter and 160 mm height. Always verify your existing element dimensions and compare with our specifications to ensure a correct match.
What filtration rating does this element provide?
This filter uses inorganic microfibre media rated at 5 microns absolute. This fine level of filtration captures silt and wear particles that commonly circulate in hydraulic systems, preserving component life.
What are the dimensions and flow direction?
Total height is 160 mm, largest outer diameter 100 mm, and largest inner diameter 52.6 mm. Flow direction is outside-to-in, which is typical for many spin-on and cartridge style hydraulic filter housings.
How does this aftermarket filter compare to the original Hydac or Mahle parts?
This filter is built to the original filtration specifications and physical dimensions. It provides equivalent contaminant capture and pressure handling, offering a cost-effective alternative while maintaining hydraulic system protection.
How often should I replace this filter?
Replacement intervals depend on system operating conditions and contamination load. Most operators schedule changes as part of routine hydraulic service or when a pressure differential indicator signals an approaching clogged condition.
What delivery and guarantee come with this filter?
We offer worldwide shipping with tracking on all orders. Every this filter is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and our price-beat guarantee, so you can purchase with confidence.
