Baldwin PT9516 hydraulic filter element
The Baldwin PT9516 is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element designed for fluid power systems that require wire-mesh filtration. It fits equipment specifying this part number and installs directly into compatible filter housings. The element includes an attached gasket plus a furnished gasket to seal the mating surface. It suits maintenance teams and equipment operators who need a direct replacement cartridge.
Capacity and headroom
The wire mesh media captures particulate contamination while allowing rated flow to pass through the 2-1/2 inch outside diameter body. Service life depends on the system contamination level and the differential pressure limit of the host housing. When the element reaches its dirt-holding capacity, flow restriction rises and the cartridge must be replaced. There is no internal bypass valve in the element itself.
Thermals noise and power draw
The filter element has no moving parts and consumes no electrical power during operation. It adds no audible noise beyond the normal hydraulic pump sound already present in the system. Operating temperature range is dictated by the housing seals and the hydraulic fluid specification rather than by the element construction. Pressure drop across a clean element is minimal and rises only as contaminant accumulates.

Questions about this item
Will this PT9516 cartridge element fit the same hydraulic housing I currently use with a 3-1/2 inch length filter?
The PT9516 is a cartridge-style hydraulic element measuring 3-1/2 inches in both height and length with a 2-1/2 inch outside diameter, designed to match housings built for those dimensions.
How can I confirm the PT9516 is sealing correctly once installed?
An attached gasket is included on the element and a furnished gasket is supplied; after installation, check that both gaskets seat evenly and inspect for fluid leaks under system pressure.
Does the PT9516 come with any extra seals or hardware, or must I buy them separately?
The filter ships with an attached gasket and a furnished gasket in the box; no additional seals or hardware are included, so obtain any required mounting bolts or housing O-rings separately.
