Baldwin PT8494 hydraulic filter element
The Baldwin PT8494 is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element designed for Case excavators and Donaldson HAK05 assemblies. It uses a wire-mesh supported element with a 27 micron rating to remove contaminants from hydraulic fluid. The unit includes an attached gasket and grommet for sealing. It is intended for equipment operators and maintenance crews who service compatible hydraulic systems.
Verify equipment and housing fitment
Confirm that your excavator or filter housing matches the Case and Donaldson HAK05 application before ordering. The element has no thread size and relies on the housing for secure mounting. Check that the 16 1/16 inch length and 4 3/8 inch outside diameter match the available space in your filter canister. Ensure the 23/32 inch inside diameter aligns with the center post or bypass valve in the assembly.
Cartridge build and daily service
The wire-mesh supported media provides structural strength under flow pressure while the attached gasket and grommet simplify installation by eliminating loose sealing parts. As a cartridge element, it is replaced by opening the filter housing, removing the used unit, and inserting the new one. The attached seals reduce the risk of missing components during routine service intervals on site.
