Elements

Clean oil is the single biggest factor in hydraulic and lubrication system reliability. Filter elements capture particles, wear metals and water before they score pumps, stick valves or wear out bearings, which extends both component and fluid life.

Element Options

• Pressure line elements – protect servo valves and sensitive components
• Return line elements – catch wear particles before oil returns to the tank
• Suction strainers – protect pumps from larger debris
• Water-absorbing elements – remove free water from oil
• Interchangeable elements – drop-in replacements for major OEM housings

Choosing an Element

Match the element's dimensions, seal type and collapse rating to the housing, and choose a beta rating that meets your target ISO cleanliness code. Glass fiber media gives the best efficiency for most hydraulic systems. Change elements when the bypass indicator trips, or on a set schedule.

Centro carries hydraulic and lube oil filter elements and can cross-reference OEM part numbers to find a match.
