Norgren L72C-2GP-EDN Excelon Oil Fog - Closed Bowl G1/4
Part Number: L72C-2GP-EDN
Quick Summary
Norgren L72C-2GP-EDN is an Excelon oil fog lubricator for inline pneumatic lubrication in automated lines. This solution helps keep oil-to-air ratios stable as flow demands shift, reducing uneven lubrication and tool wear. In regulated environments, reliability hinges on proper certifications and enclosure integrity; verify CE compliance, IP-rated suitability, and SIL considerations where required. By integrating inline or modular into existing networks, you gain predictable lubrication performance, improved maintenance schedules, and lower overall operating costs while supporting consistency across multiple tools and cylinders.

Excelon Plus oil fog lubricator, G1/4, Metal bowl closed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Inline or modular installation is enabled by the Excelon design, allowing rapid deployment in existing pipelines and future expansions, reducing commissioning time and labor costs. This leads to consistent oil delivery to large bore cylinders, air motors, and tools, delivering measurable uptime improvements on high-demand lines. Feature → Reliability under varying flow → With a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar and a start point of 0.47 dm3/sec, the unit maintains a stable oil-to-air ratio across broad operating conditions, minimizing lubrication fluctuation and reducing maintenance cycles for pneumatic tools in automated manufacturing. Feature → Closed-bowl drain design → Prevents contamination from dust and condensate, lowering bowl leaks and service interruptions; ideal for compact installations where bowl exposure is limited. Feature → Oil fog lubrication → Suitable for heavier lubrication over short runs, improving protection for components subject to higher friction in automation cells and large bore cylinders. Feature → Robust construction materials → Zinc body and bowl offer durability in harsh factory environments, supporting long service life and lower total cost of ownership. Feature → Flow and capacity data → 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm) capacity ensures the unit can support peak line demands without sacrificing performance, which helps optimize cycle times and tool life on pneumatic systems. Feature → Compatibility and maintenance → The G1/4 port size and standard elastomer materials (chloroprene and nitrile) simplify integration with common components while easing replacement parts availability and maintenance planning. Insights from the field show that Excelon’s modular approach reduces retrofit downtime and speeds up calibration across multiple stations, translating into lower engineering overhead and faster ROI for automation projects.

FAQs
Install the L72C-2GP-EDN inline or in a modular configuration using the G1/4 port. Ensure proper orientation, attach to a clean, dry compressed-air line, and verify the closed-bowl drain is sealed to prevent contamination. Check that supply pressure does not exceed 17 bar and that the lubricant is compatible with the elastomer materials (chloroprene and nitrile rubbers). Regularly inspect for leaks and confirm oil fog output aligns with system requirements.
The unit starts at 0.47 dm3/sec and can deliver up to 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm). It maintains a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio over a wide range of flows, making it suitable for variable demand scenarios such as automated lines with periodically higher tool or cylinder activity. This predictability helps optimize cycle times and component life.
Yes. The Excelon design is intended for heavier lubrication over short distances, which is common with large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools. It supports inline or modular installation and delivers reliable oil fog lubrication to protect moving parts while minimizing the need for frequent topping up or replacements.
For regulated environments, verify regional requirements such as CE marking, IP ratings for enclosure protection, and SIL safety considerations where applicable. The unit uses zinc body components and elastomer seals; confirm that your installation meets the relevant electrical and mechanical standards for your facility and application.
The closed-bowl design reduces contamination and leaks, lowering maintenance downtime. Consistent oil delivery improves tool wear life and reduces lubricant overuse, which can lower operating costs. The inline/modular installation accelerates retrofits and expansions, supporting faster ROI in automation projects and ongoing maintenance planning.
