Baldwin Filters PT88-HD Cartridge
The Baldwin Filters PT88-HD is a hydraulic oil filter cartridge rated at 23 micron. It serves as a full-flow lube or hydraulic element for heavy-duty equipment. Fleet operators and maintenance technicians use it on Caterpillar, Clark, Hyster, Komatsu and LeRoi machinery. The unit includes a G196-B furnished gasket for installation.
Sustained filtration performance
The 23 micron rating maintains consistent contaminant capture during extended operating cycles. Full-flow design allows the entire fluid volume to pass through the media without bypass under normal pressure. Cartridge construction supports steady pressure differentials across long service intervals. The supplied gasket preserves seal integrity through thermal expansion and vibration.
Pre-order compatibility check
Confirm the equipment manufacturer specifies a 23 micron cartridge for the hydraulic or lubrication circuit. Verify that the housing accepts a cartridge with an outside diameter of 5 1/8 in and an inside diameter of 3 3/8 in. Ensure the mounting arrangement does not require a threaded connection, as thread size is not applicable. Check that the installed height of 8 15/16 in clears surrounding components.

Questions about this item
Will the PT88-HD cartridge run hot or draw extra power during continuous hydraulic operation?
The PT88-HD is a passive filter element with no moving parts, so it generates no heat and consumes no power while the hydraulic system runs all day.
What fittings or gaskets must I already have to install the PT88-HD?
The cartridge includes a G196-B gasket, and its 5-1/8 inch outside diameter matches the housing groove on listed Caterpillar, Clark, Hyster, Komatsu and LeRoi equipment.
Can the PT88-HD fit older Caterpillar or Komatsu machines that originally used a different micron rating?
The PT88-HD carries a 23 micron rating and the same 5-1/8 inch by 8-15/16 inch dimensions, so it interchanges directly where those OEM specs were specified.
