What Are Spin-On Filters?
Spin-On Filters are compact hydraulic filter assemblies with an aluminium head and one or two Spin-on elements, typically installed inline. They serve as safety and process filters to protect valves, pumps, cylinders, and entire hydraulic circuits from contamination, ensuring compliance with ISO 4406 cleanliness standards.
Why Choose Our Spin-On Filters?
The Spin-On filters we supply have been engineered through years of research and field testing on both filter media and mechanical components. This design innovation delivers:
- Lower pressure losses
- Improved filtration efficiency
- Extended system protection and reliability
- High contaminant retention capacity
Result: Reliable performance, reduced downtime, and longer life for your hydraulic systems.
Spin-On filter elements feature an absolute filtration rating made from inorganic impregnated and resin-bonded inert micro-fibres. This creates a compact filtering core that resists deformation, prevents contaminant release, and improves overall filtration performance. Each spin-on filter element is engineered for durability and high dirt-holding capacity, ensuring maximum system reliability.

Key User Benefits of Spin-On Filters
Why Industries Prefer Spin-On Filters
- Compact, lightweight design with durable construction
- Easy installation and quick replacement
- No oil leakage during maintenance (oil contained within filter)
- Oxidation-resistant aluminium head ensures long life
- Reliable performance across diverse operational environments
Applications of Spin-On Filters
The high-pressure Spin-On filter series is designed to protect hydraulic systems operating in demanding conditions, ensuring reliable performance in both mobile and industrial applications. They are especially suited for:
- Servo-assisted systems requiring high-performance filtration
- Cooling circuits and auxiliary low-pressure lines
- Return-line filtration for hydraulic systems
- Lubrication systems – using Spin-On lube oil filters for maximum efficiency
Regular replacement of spin-on filter elements at scheduled maintenance intervals ensures continued system protection, reduced downtime, and extended component life.
