The Hydac 3003142, also known as model 0160 R 010 BN4AM, is a high-performance return line filter element designed for advanced fluid conditioning in hydraulic and lubrication systems. This element uniquely combines Hydac’s proven Betamicron® glass fiber media for fine particulate filtration with Aquamicron® water-absorbing material. This dual-action design not only removes solid contaminants down to 10 microns but also effectively separates and retains free and dissolved water from the fluid. By maintaining optimal fluid cleanliness and reducing water content, the 3003142 filter element helps prevent corrosion, component wear, and fluid degradation, significantly extending the service life of both the oil and the system components.
