Use cases & applications
High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems
The 210 bar collapse pressure makes this filter ideal for high-pressure hydraulic circuits where sudden pressure spikes can occur. It maintains structural integrity and continues filtering effectively even under demanding conditions.
Continuous-Duty Industrial Applications
For machinery running 24/7, the wire mesh media offers consistent filtration with low pressure drop. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and helps maintain system efficiency over extended periods.
Fluid Cleanliness in Mobile Equipment
In mobile hydraulic systems, the 40 µm rating captures particles that cause wear in pumps and valves. The robust construction withstands vibration and shock loads typical in construction or agricultural environments.
Inventory Consolidation for Multi-Brand Fleets
As a cross-reference for several major brands, this filter simplifies stock management. A single element can service equipment from Fai Filtri, Internormen, Mahle, Oxfil, ST Separat Tech, and Stauff, reducing inventory costs.
Frequently asked questions
How can I confirm this filter fits my equipment?
Check your existing filter's dimensions: total height 170.5 mm, largest outer diameter 47 mm, and largest inner diameter 25.5 mm. Also verify the flow direction is out-in. If these match, this element is a direct replacement.
What does the 40 µm filtration rating mean?
The 40 µm rating means the wire mesh media captures particles larger than 40 microns. This is suitable for many hydraulic systems requiring moderate filtration to protect components like valves and pumps.
Will this filter fit if my current one has a different thread or connection?
This element is a drop-in replacement designed to match the dimensions and sealing of the original. It has no threads; it seals via O-rings or gaskets on the inner and outer diameters. Ensure your housing accepts a 47 mm OD and 25.5 mm ID element.
Is this aftermarket filter as good as the branded version?
This filter is built to the original dimensions and ratings using wire mesh media with a 40 µm rating and 210 bar collapse pressure. It is a direct replacement for the listed brands and offers reliable performance at a lower cost.
How do I install this filter element?
Installation is straightforward: remove the old element, clean the housing, lubricate the new element's seals, and insert it with flow direction out-in. Ensure it seats properly before closing the housing.
