Norgren L68C-8GE-MVN Oil Fog Lubricator - High Flow
Part Number: L68C-8GE-MVN
Quick Summary
L68C-8GE-MVN oil fog lubricator provides precise lubrication for heavy-duty pneumatic systems in manufacturing and automation. This solution addresses the common challenge of uneven oil distribution that leads to wear, leaks, and unexpected downtime. For industrial plants, typical certifications to verify include CE compliance, IP ratings for enclosures, and SIL safety considerations. The modular Olympian Plus platform, with its Plug-In yoke system, supports rapid reconfiguration and scalable maintenance. By combining a robust aluminium body, a steel bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals, this device offers reliable performance in tough environments, while the option of different bowl sizes reduces waste and inventory. Efficient lubrication management translates to longer cylinder life, lower maintenance costs, and improved production uptime.

High-flow oil fog lubrication is designed to deliver a consistent oil-to-air mix at up to 400 dm3/sec, enabling heavier lubrication over short distances for large bore cylinders, air motors and air tools. Business impact: extended component life and reduced downtime due to better protection against wear. In practice, this supports applications in demanding automation environments where reliability and cycle times matter. The unique Olympian yoke Plug-In system offers perfect modularity and quick field upgrades; impact: faster line reconfigurations and simplified maintenance. This translates to reduced changeover times and lower lifecycle costs for production facilities that frequently retool. A built-in flow sensor maintains a nearly constant oil/air ratio across flow ranges, delivering predictable lubrication and improved process control. Application: consistent performance across varying production speeds and load conditions. The package uses an aluminium body, steel bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals for durability, impact resistance, and chemical compatibility, enabling longer service intervals in harsh environments. For installation and service, optional 5 L bowls and L68C-KIT service kits support scalable maintenance; impact: lower spare-part inventory and faster repairs. Mounting options (Y68A-8GN-N1N/N2N) and a wall bracket (18-001-979) simplify integration into existing plant layouts. Overall, the L68C-8GE-MVN fits heavy industrial lines where reliability, modularity, and long service life drive a compelling total cost of ownership advantage.

FAQs
For installation, ensure a compatible G1 port connection and secure mounting using the Y68A-8GN-N1N/N2N yoke assemblies or the 18-001-979 wall bracket. The unit supports the Olympian Plus plug-in system and can be paired with the T68H-8GB-B2N shut-off valve for integrated control. Verify clear access for the manual drain and plan for a 5 L or larger bowl as needed for your lubrication demands. Proper mounting minimizes vibration and leaks, while service kit L68C-KIT streamlines routine maintenance.
Key figures include a flow capability of 400 dm3/sec (848 scfm) with a start point at 52 dm3/sec and a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar. The unit uses oil fog lubrication and operates over -20 to 80 °C, made with an aluminium body, steel bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals. This combination supports consistent lubrication for heavy-use lines, reducing wear on cylinders and tools and helping maintain stable production cycles.
Yes. The Lubricator is purpose-built for heavier lubrication over short distances, which benefits large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools common in automotive and packaging lines. The oil fog method provides effective lubrication without over-lubrication, while its modular, plug-in design allows quick changes to suit different toolsets or processing steps. This translates to improved tool life and reduced maintenance intervals on high-demand lines.
Check the specific CE marking, IP enclosure rating, and SIL safety system requirements applicable to your region and industry. While the L68C-8GE-MVN is built to robust industrial standards, certification visibility varies by market. Consult Norgren’s documentation or your distributor to confirm compliance for your installation and ensure alignment with plant safety, electrical, and process-control standards.
Maintenance can be streamlined with the L68C-KIT service kit and readily replaceable components such as the L68C bowl and gaskets. The drain is manual, allowing straightforward draining during servicing. Mounting accessories (Y68A-8GN-N1N/N2N) and a 5 L bowl option reduce downtime and inventory, while the modular plug-in system simplifies part swaps. Regular inspection of the flow sensor and seals sustains performance and lowers unexpected replacement costs.
