Norgren L68M-8GP-ERN Lubricator - Olympian Plus Micro Fog
Part Number: L68M-8GP-ERN
Quick Summary
The L68M-8GP-ERN lubricator delivers precise micro fog lubrication for general pneumatic systems in manufacturing environments. Engineers frequently struggle to sustain a stable oil-to-air ratio across long pipe runs and varying flow rates. The data does not specify CE, SIL, or IP ratings; verify with the datasheet for regulatory compliance. Designed to integrate with the Olympian Plus modular yoke and plug-in system, it supports efficient maintenance and reliable lubrication in automation lines. Its Aluminium body and closed-bowl design support long-life operation in harsh factory environments. This aligns with cost-effective maintenance strategies and predictable lubrication performance across diverse pneumatic systems. Even in multi-branch plant networks.

FAQs
Installation is straightforward with the Olympian Plus plug-in yoke, offering modular mounting and rapid field upgrades. The L68M-8GP-ERN uses a G1 port and compatible fittings; pair it with the 18-001-979 wall bracket for secure mounting and the L68M service kit for ongoing maintenance. The result is fast installation with predictable lubrication reliability.
Key specs include G1 port size, flow 175 dm3/sec (371 scfm), start flow 6 dm3/sec, maximum inlet pressure 17 bar, and operating temperature -20 to 80 °C. The unit uses aluminium body and closed bowl, nitrile elastomers; this supports reliable operation in typical plant air networks. Durable design also tolerates ambient temperatures common in machine rooms.
Yes. The micro fog lubrication and flow sensor maintain a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio across varying flows, making it ideal for long or intricate piping. With modular Olympian Plus yoke, multiple bowl sizes, and a G1 port, you can scale lubrication without redesigning the plant layout. This reduces maintenance visits and helps ensure consistent machine uptime.
Maintenance is streamlined with the L68M service kit (L68M-KIT) that covers regular wear parts and seals. Optional accessories include the Olympian Plus 3/2 plug-in shut-off valves (T68H-AGB-B2N) and silencers (T40B2800) for quiet operation. Regular replacement intervals and compatibility with the 18-001-979 Wall Bracket simplify on-site service. Having one kit per asset reduces downtime and ensures consistent lubrication performance.
Materials selection delivers durability and ease of handling in harsh factory environments. The aluminium body and bowl offer corrosion resistance and robust mechanical strength, while nitrile elastomer seals resist oil mist and temperature swings up to 80 °C. These choices support longer service intervals and reliable operation across multiple shifts.
