Overview
The Hydac H9601/8-005BH filter element (part 6Q35106) is a high-performance pleated microglass cartridge designed for precision hydraulic filtration in heavy industrial machinery. Hycon, a leader in industrial filtration, became a division of Hydac in 1997, and this element represents the reliability expected from both brands. The H9601/8-005BH delivers superior dirt-holding capacity and pressure stability in demanding return-line filter applications.
