FAQs
What does the '0.01µm' filtration size mean?
It indicates the minimum particle size the filter is designed to capture. A 0.01µm rating means it can effectively remove very fine particles down to this size.
How often should I replace the MS6-LFM-A filter cartridge?
Replacement frequency depends on usage and air quality. Consult the manual for your specific MS series filter housing for recommended intervals, typically based on operating hours or differential pressure.
Can I use this cartridge in a different brand's filter housing?
No, this cartridge is specifically designed for Festo MS series filter housings and may not fit or function correctly in other brands.
What happens if I don't replace the filter cartridge?
Over time, a clogged filter will restrict airflow, reducing system performance. Fine particles will eventually bypass the saturated filter, leading to potential damage to downstream equipment.
Is this filter suitable for removing oil or water vapor?
This is a micro filter designed for particulate removal. For oil and water vapor, you would typically need a coalescing filter or activated carbon filter, often used in conjunction with or upstream of a particulate filter.
Where can I find the part number on my existing filter?
The part number is usually printed directly on the filter cartridge itself or on a label on the filter housing.
Troubleshooting
Filter housing leaks after cartridge replacement
Ensure the new cartridge is correctly seated and the housing seal (O-ring) is clean and undamaged. Tighten the housing securely, but do not overtighten.
Reduced airflow after installation
Verify the cartridge is installed in the correct orientation (if applicable) and is not clogged prematurely. Ensure the housing is fully closed and sealed.
No filtration improvement noted
Confirm the correct cartridge model (MS6-LFM-A) has been installed and that the filter housing is functioning correctly. Check if the housing itself requires maintenance or if upstream air quality issues persist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This filter cartridge, part number MS6-LFM-A, is designed exclusively for use with compatible Festo MS series filter housings. Always verify that your existing housing is an MS series model to ensure a proper fit and seal.
Setup: To replace the filter element, first ensure the compressed air supply to the housing is shut off and the system is depressurized. Open the filter housing according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically by unscrewing the bowl). Remove the old cartridge, ensuring no debris falls into the housing. Insert the new MS6-LFM-A cartridge, ensuring it is seated correctly. Reassemble the housing securely. Restore air pressure slowly and check for leaks.
Care: As a consumable part, this filter cartridge does not require active 'care' but rather periodic replacement. The frequency of replacement depends on the operating environment and air quality. Regularly inspect the filter bowl for accumulated moisture or particles. Refer to the main filter unit's manual for recommended inspection and replacement intervals.
