Baldwin PT-480-10 Filter Element

Baldwin PT480-10 is a hydraulic cartridge filter element rated at 10 microns, designed to drop into Baldwin-compatible filter housings to remove contaminants from hydraulic fluid and protect pumps and actuators in heavy equipment. The element measures 5-21/32 inches in length with a 3-inch outside diameter and a 1-1/16-inch inside bore, and it features a reinforced centertube for structural integrity and an attached grommet for secure installation. As an element-only cartridge, it sits inside a vehicle or machine's hydraulic filter housing and is intended for inline filtration in hydraulic circuits. It is specified for use with equipment brands including Allis Chalmers, Case, Caterpillar, Minneapolis-Moline, and Nicholson Equipment, making it a cross-brand replacement option in fleets with Baldwin-compatible filters. The PT480-10's combination of a 10-micron rating and a robust construction positions it for fine-contamination control in hydraulic systems such as loaders, tractors, and industrial presses, helping maintain fluid cleanliness and extend component life.
