Eaton 10316H1059 Hydraulic Filter Element

The 10316H1059 is a replacement filter element manufactured by Eaton for use in their range of hydraulic filters. It is designed to remove particulate contaminants from hydraulic and lubrication fluids, protecting sensitive components such as pumps, valves, and actuators.

Filtration Performance

This element has a nominal filtration rating of 10 micron absolute (β10 ≥ 200), meaning it captures 99.5% of particles larger than 10 micron. The media is made of inorganic fibers (glass) impregnated with resin, providing high strength and chemical compatibility with mineral oils, water-glycols, and synthetic fluids. The element features a high dirt-holding capacity, reducing maintenance intervals.

Construction and Materials

The filter media is pleated to maximize surface area and is supported by a perforated steel core to prevent collapse under differential pressure. End caps are made of plated steel or epoxy-coated metal, ensuring robust assembly. A nitrile (NBR) gasket provides sealing against the filter housing. The element is designed for flow direction from outside to inside.

Operating Conditions

The 10316H1059 can withstand a maximum operating temperature of 120°C (250°F) and a differential pressure up to 210 bar (3000 psi) collapse rating (depending on housing). It is compatible with most hydraulic fluids including petroleum oils, water emulsions, and synthetics. The element should be replaced when the bypass valve opens or at scheduled intervals.

Compatible Housings

This element fits into specific Eaton filter housings, typically those used in return lines, pressure lines, or off-line filtration systems. Common applications include the OFS series and other industrial filter assemblies. Always consult the housing manual to confirm compatibility.

Quality and Standards

Eaton filter elements are manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards and are tested to ISO 16889 (multi-pass test) to verify filtration efficiency. They meet or exceed OEM specifications for cleanliness and durability.

Applications

Typical uses include mobile and industrial hydraulic systems, power generation, machine tools, and presses. Maintaining fluid cleanliness with this element reduces downtime and extends component life.
