FAQ

What is the significance of the “BN” designation in the part number 0160MA005BN?

The “BN” suffix, specifically BN4HC in full HYDAC nomenclature, indicates the filter media is Betamicron. This is a high-efficiency, multi-layer glass fiber media designed for superior dirt-holding capacity and stable filtration performance, even under varying pressures. It is crucial for protecting sensitive hydraulic components.

Are there specific hydraulic fluids that are incompatible with this filter element?

This filter is typically constructed with NBR (Nitrile) seals, making it compatible with most standard hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils (HL, HLP), lubricating oils, and HFC fluids (water glycols). However, it is not recommended for use with synthetic esters (HFD-U) or phosphate esters (HFD-R), which may require EPDM or Viton (FKM) seals respectively. Always verify fluid compatibility before installation.

The instructions say to tighten by hand 3/4 of a revolution. Is it safe to use a tool for extra torque?

The instructions explicitly warn to use tools only for *unscrewing* the filter. Over-tightening with a tool can damage the seal or the filter head threads, leading to leaks. The 3/4 turn by hand after the gasket makes contact is sufficient to create a proper seal without risking damage.
