Norgren L72M-2AP-ETN Excelon fog-lubricator - Closed bowl
Part Number: L72M-2AP-ETN
Quick Summary
Excelon micro fog lubricator delivers precise oil/air lubrication for compressed air systems in general machinery and automation lines. Engineers often struggle with inconsistent lubrication on long pipe runs; this design maintains a nearly constant oil/air ratio using a micro fog spray and an integrated flow sensor. Built for inline or modular installation and tough, long-life components, it supports rigorous plant standards and scalable setups. In regulated environments, verify regional CE conformity and applicable safety or IP/SIL considerations; alongside performance, the solution offers predictable maintenance and lower total cost of ownership. Secondary benefits include compatibility with standard 1/4" PTF piping and a compact zinc body with a transparent polycarbonate bowl, driving uptime and reliability.

Excelon Plus micro fog lubricator, 1/4" PTF, Guarded plastic bowl closed
Excelon is designed for inline or modular installation, reducing retrofit time and enabling phased upgrades across existing lines. This flexibility translates to faster commissioning, lower downtime, and scalable pneumatic networks in manufacturing cells. Micro fog lubrication delivers a fine mist that minimizes oil carryoff while maximizing lubrication efficiency. In practice this improves tool life, reduces maintenance intervals, and lowers oil consumption across high-demand lines. A flow sensor monitors the system and maintains a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio over a broad range of flows. This reduces waste and ensures consistent performance in variable demand applications, such as multi-axis automation or variable-speed conveyors. Zinc body and polycarbonate bowl with elastomer seals provide durability and visibility, while the closed bowl design minimizes oil splatter and cabinet contamination in automated cells. Standard 1/4" PTF ports ease retrofits and spare-parts planning, and the unit operates from -34 to 50 °C at up to 10 bar inlet pressure, making it suitable for common plant environments. Long-term, you gain reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and predictable performance in general pneumatic lubrication tasks.

FAQs
The L72M-2AP-ETN is designed for easy integration with standard 1/4 inch PTF pneumatic fittings. For a clean, reliable install, mount the unit on a stable panel or rail, connect 1/4" PTF supply and return lines, and ensure the bowl is properly seated. Inline or modular setups are supported, allowing you to add or relocate units without rewiring your control logic.
Excelon micro fog delivers a fine mist that minimizes oil carryoff while maximizing lubrication efficiency. The integrated flow sensor helps maintain a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio across varying flows, ensuring consistent performance from short runs to extended pipework. This translates to longer tool life, reduced maintenance, and lower oil consumption in continuous operations.
The closed bowl design reduces oil mist release and splatter, keeping cabinets cleaner and lowering ambient oil exposure. This simplifies containment and housekeeping, especially in compact automation cells. Visibility through the polycarbonate bowl also aids quick level checks, enabling proactive maintenance and minimizing unexpected downtime.
Operating range is -34 to 50 °C, suitable for most industrial environments. The unit supports up to 10 bar inlet pressure, making it compatible with standard plant air supplies. These specs help ensure reliable lubrication performance across typical factory floors and machining environments.
Certification requirements vary by region. Check for CE conformity in European installations and verify any regional IP or SIL considerations applicable to your safety-critical pneumatic systems. Always consult the datasheet and your supplier to confirm current regulatory compliance for your specific application.
