Norgren L68M-8GP-MVN Micro Fog Lubricator - G1 Port
Part Number: L68M-8GP-MVN
Quick Summary
L68M-8GP-MVN micro fog lubricator enables precise lubrication for general purpose pneumatic systems. Operators often struggle with inconsistent oil-to-air ratios and maintenance-heavy bowl designs on long pipe runs. Key considerations include CE compliance, SIL reliability assessments for safety-critical lines, and IP-rated enclosures. Using the Olympian Plus platform, this unit delivers modularity and predictable lubrication, delivering measurable gains in uptime and throughput. In practice, customers value the availability of optional bowl sizes and the Plug-In yoke system for rapid, tool-free installation. This translates into lower maintenance costs, extended tool life, and predictable lubrication flow across diverse plant layouts. For teams adopting Industry 4.0 practices, the device's compatibility with modular mountings and service kits simplifies lifecycle management.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Olympian Plus Plug-In system enables rapid modularity, reducing downtime during changes in production lines; this translates to higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and shorter changeover times in automated assembly cells. Feature → Micro fog lubrication delivers a finer mist than traditional methods, improving lubrication accuracy across long pipework and reducing wear on valves and actuators; ideal for general purpose pneumatic systems with complex piping. Feature → G1 port size and a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar support compatibility with standard plant air lines, enabling straightforward retrofit and scalable deployment across multiple machines. Feature → Flow of 175 dm3/sec with a start point at 6 dm3/sec provides a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio, improving process consistency and reducing lubricant waste in high-demand applications. Feature → Aluminium body, steel bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals offer robust durability in harsh environments, lowering replacement frequency and maintenance costs. Feature → Optional bowls and service kit L68M-KIT simplify maintenance planning, ensuring quick replenishment and minimal downtime. Industry insight: Modular yoke options (Y68A-8GN-N1N/N2N) and quick-fill accessories (18-011-021) streamline installation and service in rugged industrial settings.

FAQs
The L68M-8GP-MVN is designed for plug-in modularity within the Olympian Plus family. Use the Y68A-8GN-N1N or Y68A-8GN-N2N yoke assemblies to mount and align the unit, ensuring the G1 port remains accessible for routine maintenance. Pair with wall brackets 18-001-979 when vertical space is limited. For quickest setup, consider the L68M-KIT service kit to simplify initial commissioning and recalibration.
Key specs include a G1 port size, 10 bar maximum inlet pressure, operating range from -20 to 80 C, and a lubrication flow of 175 dm3/sec (371 scfm) with a start point at 6 dm3/sec. The lubricator uses micro fog technology and a manual drain, with aluminium body construction, steel bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals for durability.
Yes. The micro fog delivery provides a stable oil-to-air ratio across extended piping, reducing lubrication variance in long runs. The modular Olympian Plus platform and compatible bowls allow easy scaling and maintenance across large installations, helping to maintain consistent performance even as pipe lengths increase.
Important verifications include CE marking for machinery directives, SIL reliability considerations for safety-critical lines, and IP rating for enclosure protection. Confirm the manufacturer’s datasheet and supplier documentation for the exact certification status, installation guidelines, and any region-specific compliance requirements before deployment.
The L68M-8GP-MVN reduces lubricant waste through a nearly constant oil/air ratio and supports faster maintenance with modular bowls and a plug-in yoke system. This translates to lower spare parts costs, reduced downtime during servicing, and longer tool life in general purpose pneumatic systems, contributing to improved uptime and overall production efficiency.
