The 40 μm filtration rating delivers targeted protection for pneumatic circuits, capturing fine particulates before they reach control valves and actuators. This reduces wear, minimizes blockage events, and improves overall system reliability, which translates to less unscheduled downtime in automation lines and faster changeovers. In addition, stable filtration supports consistent actuation speed and predictable pressure drop across the filter element. Its compact footprint and light weight support easy integration into crowded panels and small manifolds. With a height of 57 mm, length 69 mm, and width 57 mm, the element fits standard filter housings while preserving valuable enclosure space. The 0.086 kg body contributes to lower mounting loads and reduced vibration transmission in dynamic applications, helping maintain alignment and seal integrity over longer service intervals. The unit is designed to tolerate typical plant temperatures and pressure fluctuations found in industrial air networks. The datasheet (PDF) provides installation notes, compatibility guidance, and replacement procedures, helping technicians execute maintenance quickly and accurately. In practice, this translates to faster changeouts, fewer gasketing errors, and clearer spares planning for maintenance teams. Originating from Czech manufacturing, this element reflects the rigorous quality standards expected in modern pneumatics, reinforcing supplier reliability in cautious supply chains. When paired with standard Norgren fittings, it supports modular air preparation strategies and predictable lifecycle costs.

FAQs
For reliable replacement, confirm compatibility with standard Norgren filter housings and ensure correct gasket seating and orientation during installation. The 57x69x57 mm footprint fits typical inline filtration configurations, and the 0.086 kg weight minimizes mounting stress. Always consult the datasheet for torque guidance and replacement intervals to maintain seal integrity and filtration performance.
A 40 μm rating targets the removal of fine particulates that can cause valve wear and actuator sticking. By reducing contaminants upstream, system pressure stability improves and downstream components experience fewer contamination-induced faults. This translates to longer component life, fewer unplanned maintenance events, and more predictable production performance in automated lines.
The element is designed for inline filtration in pneumatic circuits and modular air preparation scenarios. Its compact size and light weight support retrofits in crowded panels and small manifolds, making it suitable for a broad range of automation and manufacturing environments where clean compressed air is essential for reliable valve and actuator operation.
Certification details such as CE marking, IP ratings, or SIL readiness are not explicitly listed in the provided data. Before deployment, verify with the datasheet and your supplier or engineering team to confirm applicable certifications for your region and application, especially if you operate in safety-critical or regulated environments.
Expect reduced downtime due to cleaner compressed air, slower wear on valves and actuators, and clearer maintenance planning thanks to defined replacement intervals. The compact, standardized design also simplifies spares provisioning and inventory management, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
