Baldwin PT517 Hydraulic Filter Element
The Baldwin PT517 is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element designed for equipment maintenance. It carries a 23 micron rating to capture contaminants in hydraulic fluid systems. This new component measures 11 1/16 inches in length and height with an outside diameter of 3 15/16 inches. It serves operators and technicians who require a direct replacement element for specific hydraulic circuits.
Replaces Worn Cartridge Elements
This element replaces a used cartridge when the micron rating indicates reduced filtration efficiency. The jump is worth it when scheduled service intervals arrive or pressure differentials signal restricted flow. It fits applications specified for Komatsu equipment where a threadless cartridge design is required. Buyers needing a spin-on canister or a different micron rating cannot use this part.
Simple Cartridge Swap Procedure
Installation involves removing the housing cover, sliding out the old element, and inserting the new PT517 cartridge. The inside diameter of 2 11/32 inches seats over the central support tube without threads. What usually goes wrong is failing to clean the housing sealing surface or neglecting to lubricate the new gaskets, which causes bypass leaks. Ensure the housing is free of debris before reassembly.
