1635683200 Oil Filter Element Lube Oil Filter Cartridge for Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Product Introduction

The 1635683200 oil filter element keeps compressor lubricant clean as it circulates through the rotary screw package. It captures soot, metal fines, oxidized oil residues, and ingested particles before they reach rotors, bearings, and the oil pump. A clogged or bypassing element raises differential pressure, accelerates airend wear, and shortens oil life—so it belongs on every scheduled service list, not just when the alarm appears.

Detailed Product Description

Why The Oil Loop Depends On It

In a screw compressor, oil cools, seals, and lubricates at the same time. Once contaminant load builds, the filter either restricts flow or opens the bypass and lets dirty oil through. Neither is acceptable for long runs. The 1635683200 element is built as a drop-in lube oil cartridge with pleated media, support cage, end caps, and a bypass-compatible structure for stable flow under hot oil conditions.

Key Benefits

• Airend Protection: Holds back abrasive particles that scratch bearings and rotor surfaces.
• Stable Differential Pressure: Engineered media area keeps pressure drop manageable through the service interval.
• Longer Oil Life: Reduces circulating sludge and oxidation carriers in the lube circuit.
• Service Simplicity: Spin-in or cartridge fitment for planned shutdowns and filter changeouts.
• Also Called: oil filter element, lube oil filter, compressor oil cartridge, engine-style oil filter, screw compressor oil filter.

Common Applications

• Rotary screw air compressors with separated lube oil filtration
• Industrial plants, workshops, and continuous-duty compressed air systems
• Scheduled 2000-hour or site-based service programs
• Maintenance inventory for compressor service contractors

When To Replace

Change on the machine service clock or sooner in dusty, hot, or high-load sites. Warning signs include rising oil differential pressure, higher discharge temperature, frequent separator loading, metallic noise trending up, or a collapsed old element. Do not reuse blown-out elements or rely on bypass mode for daily operation.

Installation & Order Note

• Match outer diameter, height, thread or seal style, and bypass setting to the original filter base.
• Prefill where the service manual allows, and check the old gasket ring stays on the base, not stuck behind.
• Use correct torque or hand-tight plus quarter turn per filter type; over-tightening damages the base seat.
• Run the machine, then recheck for seepage after warm-up.
• Keep oil grade unchanged during service; mixing formulations can drop filter life.
• Send old element photo or machine model if you need exact dimensional confirmation.
