Description
When you’re running an excavator all day, your hydraulic system is working overtime – cycling thousands of times to operate the boom, arm, bucket, and swing functions that make these machines so productive. Clean hydraulic fluid is what keeps your system working smoothly, and this hydraulic filter stands guard against the contamination that can turn expensive hydraulic components into costly scrap metal. When your hydraulic system starts getting sluggish, making noise, or operating erratically, a dirty filter is often the culprit. At 457mm long, this filter has the capacity to handle the high flow demands of these powerful Hitachi excavators.
What You’re Getting
- 457mm length provides maximum filtration capacity for demanding excavator hydraulic systems
- Heavy-duty construction handles the high pressures and constant cycling of excavator hydraulics
- Quality filtration media that captures particles and contaminants before they can damage expensive hydraulic components, while construction materials resist degradation from hydraulic fluids and operating temperatures
- Direct replacement design fits perfectly in your existing filter housing
Built for Heavy Excavator Work
Whether you’re digging trenches with an EX100, moving material with an EX120, or handling demolition work with the larger FH120 and FH130 models, these Hitachi excavators work in the toughest conditions. These machines often run demanding hydraulic systems that operate under high pressure and frequent cycling, making quality filtration critical for preventing expensive pump, valve, and cylinder failures during busy work seasons. Every cycle of the boom or rotation of the cab puts demand on your hydraulic system.
Made to Last
Proper filtration prevents costly damage to hydraulic pumps, valves, and transmission components while maintaining optimal system efficiency. Regular hydraulic filter maintenance prevents costly system failures and extends the life of pumps, valves, and cylinders throughout the hydraulic system. This isn’t some generic filter adapted to fit – it’s engineered specifically for the punishment that excavator hydraulic systems endure in construction and heavy work applications.
Installation Notes
Before changing the filter, let your hydraulic system cool down and relieve system pressure for safe service. Clean the filter housing thoroughly before installing the new filter to prevent contaminating fresh fluid with debris. Check your hydraulic fluid level after installation and top off if needed with the correct fluid type. If you’ve been running with a dirty filter for a while, consider changing your hydraulic fluid at the same time to get the full benefit of clean filtration.
