Norgren L68C-8AP-ERN Oil Fog Lubricator - Olympian Plus
Part Number: L68C-8AP-ERN
Quick Summary
Norgren L68C-8AP-ERN oil fog lubricator is designed to deliver precise lubrication for demanding pneumatic systems. Inconsistent oil-air mixtures can lead to premature wear and unplanned downtime, so reliable flow control is essential. Olympian Plus plug-in modular system compatibility and a closed aluminum bowl support quick service while reducing leaks; for regulated environments, CE marking and IP considerations are common talking points, and SIL verification should be evaluated within your safety architecture. For plant-wide efficiency, this lubricator pairs with 1" PTF ports and robust temperature and pressure ranges to maximize reliability and minimize maintenance costs, aligning with maintenance and procurement objectives for longer asset life and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Mount the L68C-8AP-ERN using compatible Yoke assemblies (Y68A-8AN-N1N/N2N) or a wall bracket, connect to a 1" PTF port, and ensure the closed-bowl is secured. Verify the inlet pressure does not exceed 17 bar and that the system operates within -20 to 80 °C. Use the L68C-KIT service kit for routine maintenance and seal replacement.
The unit begins lubricating at 6 dm3/sec and can deliver up to 175 dm3/sec (371 scfm) of flow. This ensures adequate oil delivery for heavy-duty lubrication needs while maintaining a stable oil-air ratio across typical operating ranges.
Yes. The oil fog lubrication approach is designed for heavier lubrication over short distances, making it suitable for large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools. The flow sensor ensures consistent lubrication even when demand fluctuates, supporting reliable performance in such applications.
Look for CE marking in European installations and evaluate enclosure IP ratings within your specific environment. SIL considerations depend on the broader safety system; always verify with your integrator or OEM to ensure the lubricator meets your safety and regulatory requirements.
Utilize the L68C-KIT service kit for scheduled maintenance, replace elastomer seals, and refresh components as needed. Mounting options and optional bowl sizes support easy retrofits, reducing downtime during service windows and contributing to lower total ownership costs through longer asset life and consistent lubrication performance.
