SEBO Motor Protection Filter for FELIX and DART Uprights

Dust fine enough to pass through the bag on a FELIX or a DART still has one barrier left before it reaches anything expensive, and this is it. The motor protection filter sits ahead of the windings and bearings and holds back what the bag let by, which is real work on every single run, since motors are far more often killed by ingested dust than by honest wear.

Part 7012ER is the same filter previously supplied as 7012AM and goes straight in as its replacement, so an older manual or an old invoice quoting the AM number is pointing at this item. Neglect shows up in two different ways depending on how far it has gone. A merely dirty element restricts airflow, so suction falls away even with a fresh bag fitted and the motor runs hotter for the same job. A saturated one stops holding what it has already caught and starts passing it downstream. A missing one, which happens more often than it should after a hurried bag change, sends grit straight where it does damage. Tie the change to your bag changes, put a spare with the bag pack, and the filter becomes one less thing to remember.

• Part number: 7012ER
• Stage: pre-motor protection filter, between the bag and the motor
• Fits: SEBO FELIX and DART uprights
• Cross-reference: direct replacement for SEBO 7012AM
• Change it when: the face has greyed, or suction has dropped with a new bag in place
• Pairs with: 7029ER cloth bags for the same machines

Seat the filter fully in its frame so no air can bypass around the edges, since a gap at one corner undoes the whole stage. A SEBO motor protection filter, a FELIX pre-motor filter or a DART motor filter replacement is part 7012ER. Ships in 2-5 business days.
