3032408-329 – Embraer OEM Hydraulic Filter Element for Phenom 300
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Embraer 3032408-329 is the genuine OEM hydraulic filter element designed specifically for the advanced hydraulic systems of the Embraer Phenom 300 business jet. This flight-critical component is the primary defense against particulate contamination within the hydraulic fluid. 💧 Its essential function is to capture and retain microscopic particles—such as metallic wear debris, elastomer fragments, and ingested dirt—that can cause catastrophic damage to high-precision servo-valves, actuators, and pumps. Maintaining absolute fluid cleanliness is paramount for the reliable operation of the Phenom 300's flight controls, landing gear, and braking systems. This OEM filter element guarantees the precise filtration efficiency and flow characteristics specified by Embraer to protect these vital systems.
Key Features
Genuine Embraer OEM Part: Ensures perfect fit, correct filtration micron rating, and meets the exact performance specifications of the Phenom 300 hydraulic system.
High-Efficiency Filtration Media: Utilizes advanced synthetic microglass or similar high-performance media designed to capture extremely fine particles (typically 3-5 microns absolute) while maintaining low pressure drop.
Superior Dirt-Holding Capacity: Engineered for maximum contaminant retention, providing a long service life between scheduled replacements.
Robust Construction: Features corrosion-resistant end caps and a strong center core designed to withstand high system pressures and flow rates without collapsing or bypassing.
Integrated Bypass Valve (Typically): Often incorporates a safety bypass valve to ensure fluid flow continues even if the filter becomes completely clogged, preventing pump starvation.

Applications
Primary Hydraulic System Filtration: Installed within the main hydraulic filter housings (pressure, return, or case drain lines) to continuously clean the operating fluid.
Contamination Control: Prevents abrasive wear, jamming, and failure of critical hydraulic components like actuators, servo-valves, pumps, and motors.
System Health Monitoring: The inspection of the used filter element for captured debris is a key diagnostic tool for monitoring the health of hydraulic system components.
Why Choose 3032408-329?
The hydraulic system powers the Phenom 300's flight controls – there's zero room for compromise. The genuine Embraer 3032408-329 filter element is the only part guaranteed to provide the precise level of fluid cleanliness specified by the aircraft manufacturer. Using a non-certified or "will-fit" filter introduces an extreme risk. An incorrect micron rating can allow damaging particles to circulate freely, leading to premature component failure and potentially a loss of control. An improperly constructed filter might collapse under pressure or have an incorrectly calibrated bypass valve.2 For the safety and reliability of your Phenom 300, the genuine OEM filter element is the only airworthy choice. 👍
The engineering significance of the 3032408-329 filter lies in its precise Beta Ratio ($$\beta_x$$) at specific micron sizes ($$x$$). The Beta Ratio is the industry standard (ISO 16889) for defining a filter's capture efficiency. It's calculated as the number of particles upstream of the filter divided by the number of particles downstream, at a given particle size.3 For example, a filter rated 4$$\beta_5 = 200$$
means that for every 200 particles 5 microns or larger entering the filter, only 1 particle gets through (representing 99.5% efficiency at 5 microns).5 Embraer specifies a filter with a particular Beta Ratio profile optimized for the Phenom 300's hydraulic system. This profile is engineered to capture the particles generated by wear mechanisms within the system while ensuring minimal pressure drop, guaranteeing both component protection and efficient system operation.
Note: The 3032408-329 is a flight-critical, life-limited component. It must be replaced at the intervals specified in the Embraer Phenom 300 maintenance manual. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P/IA mechanic. Ensure the correct seals are used and properly lubricated with system fluid. The system may require bleeding after filter replacement.
