## Core Product Advantages

### 1. Genuine 05Q Microglass Precision Filtration Media + Short-size Design, Balancing Efficient Interception & Compact Space Adaptation
As an authentic filter element from Parker’s Hydraulic & Industrial Process Filtration Division EMEA, the G04048Q adopts 05Q Microglass high-performance glass fiber media and is paired with the Length 1 short-size specification. It delivers core performance of “precision impurity interception + compact installation” for the 40CN filter housing. Its 5 µm filtration accuracy efficiently captures harmful impurities of 5 µm and above in hydraulic oil—such as 5-8 µm metal particles from hydraulic motor wear, 4-6 µm colloidal impurities from hydraulic oil oxidation, and 5-7 µm metal debris remaining from equipment assembly. This prevents “progressive wear” to key components of hydraulic systems (e.g., solenoid valves, cylinder pistons). Meanwhile, the short-size design perfectly fits the compact installation space of the 40CN housing, making it especially suitable for scenarios with dense internal oil circuits and limited installation height (e.g., branch circuits of small and medium-sized hydraulic stations, integrated hydraulic modules, hydraulic compartments of mobile equipment). No additional installation space for long-size filter elements is required, solving the pain points of “difficult installation of high-precision filters” and “poor filtration effect of compact oil circuits”—achieving dual optimization of “precision protection” and “efficient space utilization”.

### 2. 5 µm Precision Filtration Accuracy, Covering Medium-flow Medium-pressure General Scenarios
A 5 µm micron rating is an ideal choice for medium-flow hydraulic systems requiring “balanced protection accuracy and circulation efficiency,” and it can be widely adapted to medium-pressure working conditions corresponding to the 40CN housing:
– In the hydraulic circuit of automotive component stamping equipment, it filters mold wear debris to ensure the surface smoothness of stamped parts.
– In the hydraulic system of plastic injection molding machines, it intercepts plastic melt impurities to avoid micro-defects in injection-molded parts.
– In the lubricating oil circuit of small air compressors, it filters bearing wear particles to extend the service life of air compressors.

Compared to 2 µm ultra-precision filter elements, the G04048Q reduces oil flow resistance by 45% and adapts to a medium-flow range of 0-450 L/min (matching the flow requirements of the 40CN housing), avoiding system power loss. Compared to 10 µm filter elements, its filtration efficiency is improved by 50%, and it can stabilize oil cleanliness at NAS Class 7, meeting the ISO 4413 hydraulic system cleanliness standard. It not only protects hydraulic components but also ensures smooth oil circulation, making it a “preferred filter element for medium-flow medium-pressure general scenarios”.

### 3. Nitrile Rubber Seal Adapts to Conventional Working Conditions, with Outstanding Cost-effectiveness
The sealing material is Nitrile (nitrile rubber), which has excellent mineral oil resistance and elasticity. It maintains tight 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), perfectly adapting to most conventional working conditions:
– In industrial equipment using mineral oil (e.g., machine tools, air compressors), nitrile rubber seals exhibit stable oil swelling resistance, with a service life of over 1,500 hours.
– In normal-temperature workshops or outdoor non-extreme environments (e.g., construction machinery operations in spring and autumn), it maintains good elasticity without leakage risks.
– Compared to fluoroelastomer seals, nitrile rubber has lower procurement costs and no need to pay extra for extreme temperatures or special oils. It provides a “reliable and economical” sealing solution for medium-flow medium-pressure systems, especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with controlled budgets and general equipment.

### 4. Short-size Design Compatible with 40CN Housing, No Equipment Modification Required for Installation
The Length 1 short-size specification is precisely matched to the interface of the 40CN filter housing and can be directly installed in the standard slot of the 40CN housing—no modification to equipment pipelines, adjustment of hydraulic module layouts, or replacement of housings is needed. Whether it is the dense branch oil circuits of small and medium-sized hydraulic stations, the integrated hydraulic units of equipment, or the compact hydraulic compartments of mobile devices, it can be easily adapted. The installation process is consistent with that of conventional short-size filter elements, allowing maintenance personnel to perform quick replacements without special training. Enterprises can upgrade filtration accuracy without additional equipment modification costs. Meanwhile, the short-size design, combined with the uniform fiber distribution of 05Q Microglass media, enables more uniform oil distribution inside the filter element, avoiding filtration dead zones caused by local impurity accumulation. Its filtration stability is 30% higher than that of ordinary short-size filter elements, balancing “installation convenience” and “filtration reliability” while reducing equipment maintenance difficulty and time costs.

### 5. Controllable Full-cycle Maintenance Costs, Reducing Burden on General Equipment
The G04048Q’s features reduce maintenance costs of enterprises’ medium-flow medium-pressure hydraulic systems 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 and capital occupation.
– The 5 µm precision covers the filtration needs of multiple general equipment (e.g., stamping machines, injection molding machines, air compressors), reducing the types of filter elements purchased.
– The high dirt-holding capacity of 05Q Microglass media (85% higher than ordinary glass fiber media) combined with the short-size design extends the replacement cycle, reducing replacement frequency by 40% compared to ordinary short-size filter elements of the same precision. It can reduce 3-4 maintenance shutdowns per year and lower labor costs.
– The cost-effectiveness and conventional working condition adaptability of nitrile rubber seals further control the overall use cost of the filter element.

In addition, the original quality avoids the “hydraulic component wear-equipment overhaul” vicious cycle caused by non-genuine filter elements (e.g., substandard precision, media damage), reducing maintenance costs for components such as solenoid valves and hydraulic motors (single maintenance costs can be reduced by tens of thousands of yuan)—making it a “cost-effective choice” for medium-flow medium-pressure general systems of small and medium-sized enterprises.
