2914997500 Rugged Intake Air Filter Cartridge For Atlas Mobile Screw Compressor

Product Introduction

Dusty site air is the cheapest thing entering your machine, and also the most expensive thing to ignore. 2914997500 is Atlas Copco’s intake air filter element for mobile and stationary screw compressors, widely listed as a direct replacement air filter for XA/XAS/XATS-class portable units and GA-family frames . Pleated media strips sand, grit, and airborne debris before they reach the airend, oil circuit, and separator—so a clean suction path protects rotor profiles, lowers specific power, and keeps lube oil from turning into grinding paste.

A choked element does not fail loudly. It raises intake vacuum, drops free air delivery, pushes amp draw up, and lets fine dust bypass if the end cap seal is not seated flat. Swap it on running hours or at the restriction indicator; sooner in quarry, coastal, or powder-heavy sites. Never knock it clean and reuse—cleaned pleats lose stiffness and the seal edge rarely seats twice.

During fitting, wipe the air box, strip old gasket residue, and press the cartridge fully home. Confirm OD, ID, height, and seal style against the removed element; supplier photos vary, so the old part and machine serial decide the correct fit. Also called air filter element, intake filter cartridge, compressor air cleaner, suction filter.
