Description

The Festo MS9-LFM-B (Festo part number 553037) is a fine-filter cartridge in the MS series compressed air treatment system, designed as a replacement element for MS9-LFM fine and micro filter housings. This part is also cross-referenced as MS9LFM-B and is the standard-flow-rate counterpart to the high-flow variant MS9-LFM-B-HF (part number 552945). Refer to manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific application.

This cartridge is a borosilicate fibre coalescing filter element rated at One (1) µm filtration grade, achieving ISO class 2 for particles with a filter efficiency of 99.99%. It removes oil aerosols and fine particulates from compressed air, delivering output air quality of class 2.7.3 per DIN ISO 8573-1. The cartridge is free of copper and PTFE, with a corrosion resistance classification CRC2 for moderate corrosion environments.

The MS9-LFM-B cartridge fits MS9-size filter housings operating at supply pressures from 0 to 20 bar, across a flow range of 325 to 10,000 l/min. It is recommended to use the MS9-LFM-B as a pre-filter upstream of a 0.01 µm micro-filter (MS9-LFM-A) to extend cartridge service life in high-contamination systems. Replacement is recommended after 1,000 operating hours at 21 °C; service life decreases at elevated temperatures.

About ACME MRO Solutions

We started ACME MRO Solutions to fix something we kept running into as contractors — plants down, parts slow, surplus listings you couldn't trust. Our goal is simple: get YOU the right component fast, with an honest description, so you can get back to running.

We describe what we see. Used items show signs of use; if a part has visible wear, damage, or a missing component, the condition description will say so. We don't claim anything is tested unless we tested it — and we don't bench-test parts where testing isn't practical or revealing (feed-through modules, breakers, mechanical components). When we do test something, we'll say so explicitly.

If something is our fault, we don't work through it — we make it right. We are proud to serve American manufacturing. Your uptime is our bottom line.
