## Core Product Advantages

### 1. Genuine Microglass Media + Precise Compatibility, Balancing Precision & Durability
As an authentic filter element from Parker’s Hydraulic & Industrial Process Filtration Division EMEA, the G04041Q features high-performance Microglass glass fiber media and is tailor-made for the 15CN filter housing, achieving “zero-dimensional deviation and full-performance matching”. Its 5 µm filtration accuracy effectively captures harmful impurities of 5 µm and above in hydraulic oil—such as 5-10 µm metal debris from hydraulic pump vane wear, 6-8 µm rust particles from pipeline corrosion, and 8-12 µm dust particles introduced during outdoor operations—preventing wear to hydraulic valves and cylinder seals. Meanwhile, the uniform fiber structure of Microglass media maintains high dirt-holding capacity even at 5 µm precision: compared to ordinary 5 µm filter elements, its dirt-holding capacity is increased by 35%, and the replacement cycle is extended by 50%. This perfect balance of “filtration precision” and “service durability” provides stable purification protection for small and medium-sized medium-pressure hydraulic systems.

### 2. 5 µm Universal Precision for Multi-scenario Adaptation, Covering Routine Precision Filtration Needs
A 5 µm micron rating is a core choice for “routine precision filtration and broad-spectrum adaptation” in hydraulic systems, meeting oil cleanliness requirements for most industrial scenarios:
– In automotive-standard machine tools (e.g., gearbox housing milling machines), it filters metal debris generated during processing to avoid hydraulic drive errors.
– In small compressor lube oil circuits, it traps bearing wear particles to protect core compressor components.
– In mobile equipment hydraulic circuits (e.g., pilot oil circuits of small excavators), it filters outdoor dust to prevent hydraulic valve jamming.

Compared to 2 µm high-precision filter elements, the G04041Q has stronger anti-clogging capability and requires less frequent replacement. Compared to 10 µm and coarser filter elements, it offers superior filtration performance, meeting NAS Class 7 oil cleanliness standards. It is a cost-effective filter element “preferred for routine precision scenarios and adaptable to multiple working conditions”.

### 3. Short-size Design for Compact Spaces, Flexible Installation Without Modification
The Length 1 short-size reduces the G04041Q’s volume by 40% compared to the Length 2 long-size, significantly lowering installation space requirements. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized hydraulic systems paired with the 15CN housing—such as compact hydraulic circuits in small hydraulic stations, local control oil circuits of precision equipment, and mobile machinery with limited space. It can be directly installed without modifying equipment pipelines, while maintaining the flow advantages of Microglass media: at 5 µm filtration accuracy, the oil flow resistance is 20% lower than that of ordinary short-size filter elements, ensuring stable system flow and avoiding insufficient hydraulic power caused by filter throttling. Whether for laboratory precision hydraulic test benches or small hydraulic drive units on production lines, it enables quick adaptation, balancing “space compatibility” and “system operating efficiency”.

### 4. Nitrile Rubber Seal for Conventional Working Conditions, Outstanding Cost-effectiveness
The sealing material is Nitrile (nitrile rubber), which offers excellent mineral oil resistance and adaptability to normal temperatures. It maintains reliable sealing within a temperature range of -40 to 100°C (-40 to 212°F) and supports a maximum working pressure of 70 bar (1015 psi), fully adapting to most industrial conventional scenarios:
– In hydraulic systems using mineral oil, nitrile rubber exhibits stable oil aging resistance, with a sealing life 1.5 times that of ordinary rubber.
– In normal-temperature workshop environments (e.g., electronic equipment assembly workshops, food machinery hydraulic stations), there is no need to worry about extreme temperatures affecting the seal, avoiding oil leakage or impurity intrusion due to seal failure.

Compared to fluoroelastomer seals, nitrile rubber reduces procurement costs by 30% in conventional working conditions, significantly improving cost-effectiveness for enterprises in routine precision filtration scenarios.

### 5. Controllable Full-cycle Costs, Reducing Maintenance Burden for Small & Medium-sized Systems
The G04041Q’s features reduce enterprise maintenance costs from multiple dimensions:
– It is compatible with mineral oils, vegetable oils, and some synthetic oils, eliminating the need to stock separate filter elements for different oil types and reducing inventory categories.
– The short-size design enables easy installation, shortening replacement time by 50% compared to long-size filter elements and lowering labor maintenance costs.
– The high stability of Microglass media avoids the “filtration failure-equipment maintenance” vicious cycle caused by non-genuine filter elements (e.g., media damage, substandard precision), reducing maintenance costs for hydraulic pumps and valves.

Additionally, the 5 µm universal precision covers the filtration needs of multiple pieces of equipment, reducing the types of filter elements purchased and further lowering overall costs—making it ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises or multi-equipment production lines.

## Application Scenarios & Industries

### Core Application Fields
– **Automotive-standard Machine Tool Hydraulic Systems**: Suitable for auto parts machining tools (e.g., engine block roughing machines, wheel stamping equipment), it filters 5 µm+ metal debris to avoid hydraulic drive errors, improve part machining precision, and reduce scrap rates.
– **Small Compressor Lube Oil Filtration**: Used in lube oil circuits of small industrial compressors (e.g., air compressors, refrigeration compressors), it traps 5 µm+ bearing wear particles to protect compressor rotors and seals, extending the service life of lube oil and compressors.
– **Pilot Oil Circuit Protection for Mobile Equipment**: Adapts to pilot control oil circuits of small off-road construction machinery (e.g., small excavators, lawn maintenance machinery), filtering 5 µm+ dust and sand from outdoor operations to prevent pilot valve jamming and ensure flexible, non-delayed equipment operation.
– **Main Filtration for Small Hydraulic Stations**: Serves as the main filter element for small hydraulic stations paired with the 15CN housing (e.g., hydraulic drive units for electronic equipment, laboratory hydraulic test benches), stabilizing oil cleanliness to NAS Class 7, avoiding wear to small hydraulic components, and extending equipment life.
– **Food Machinery Hydraulic Circuits**: In food-grade hydraulic equipment using vegetable oil (e.g., cookie forming machines, beverage filling line hydraulic systems), the 5 µm precision filters impurities in vegetable oil, while the nitrile rubber seal meets general hygiene requirements for food machinery, preventing oil contamination of food.
