IMI Norgren 5576-97 Filter Element 68 Series - 5 μm
Part Number: 5576-97
Quick Summary
The 5 μm filter element in the IMI Norgren 5576-97 series cleans compressed air for pneumatic systems in industrial automation. Many facilities struggle with filter fouling, pressure drop, and maintenance downtime that hurt productivity. In this category, CE compliance and IP-rated design are often expected to ensure safety and reliability in harsh environments, while respect for modular integration supports quick upgrades. The 68 Series compatibility provides a scalable, easy-to-service filtration solution and the 5 μm rating balances contaminant removal with cartridge life. Built in Czechia, this element supports consistent performance, reduced maintenance cycles, and a lower total cost of ownership for automated manufacturing lines.

FAQs
The 5576-97 is designed for use with Norgren 68 Series modular air preparation housings. It features the 57x69x57 mm footprint and a weight of about 0.08 kg, enabling straightforward replacement and servicing. Always depressurize the system, confirm proper seating of seals, and follow the data sheet guidelines for installation to ensure a reliable seal and filtration performance.
Key specifications include a 5 μm filtration rating, dimensions of 57 mm height, 69 mm length, and 57 mm width, weight around 0.08 kg, and country of origin Czechia. Brand is IMI Norgren. For exact installation and replacement guidance, refer to the datasheet and the 68 Series compatibility notes to ensure proper operation in your specific housing.
The provided data does not specify CE, IP, or other certifications for this exact part. To confirm compliance, consult the official datasheet linked with the product and verify certification marks with your procurement or quality teams. In practice, many 68 Series components are designed to meet typical industry expectations; verify against your plant’s regulatory requirements before use.
Begin by depressurizing and isolating the air supply. Remove the 68 Series housing cover, extract the used filter element, and inspect seals for damage. Clean the chamber, insert the new 5576-97 element in the correct orientation, reseal the housing, and re-pressurize the system. Run a brief test to confirm no leaks and verify filtration performance. Always refer to the datasheet for step-by-step guidance and torque specifications for your housing.
Using a 5 μm filter element improves air quality by removing finer particulates, reducing wear on downstream components and lowering unplanned downtime. The standardized 68 Series element simplifies spares management, enables quicker replacements, and supports consistent performance across multiple lines. Over time, these factors contribute to higher equipment availability, more stable process control, and a lower total cost of ownership in automated operations.
