Norgren L72M-2AP-QEN Excelon micro fog lubricator - 1/4\" PTF
Part Number: L72M-2AP-QEN
Quick Summary
Excelon micro fog lubricator provides precise oil misting for general pneumatic systems across industrial automation. In practice, inconsistent lubrication on long, complex pipework can cause wear and downtime, and maintenance can be unpredictable. The design supports CE-style safety considerations and robust enclosure concepts, while its flow sensor helps maintain a near-constant oil/air ratio across varying demand and line speeds. By combining compact form with reliable performance, it enables OEMs and maintenance teams to improve uptime, reduce oil waste, and standardize lubrication across multiple lines.

Inline or modular installation provides deployment flexibility, allowing the Excelon L72M to fit in tight spaces or be integrated into modular manifolds. This reduces installation hours and minimizes line downtime during upgrades, making it ideal for long pipework and multi-point lubrication in general pneumatic systems. Micro fog lubrication delivers a fine mist that improves lubrication efficiency while lowering oil usage. The flow sensor maintains a nearly constant oil/air ratio across a wide range of flows, delivering predictable performance and reducing over-oiling in high-demand lines. These capabilities translate to longer tool life and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing environments. Manual drain simplifies maintenance and reduces hidden leakage points, helping technicians quickly verify bowl drainage during routine checks. The long metal bowl with liquid level indicator provides clear visibility, enabling proactive replenishment and minimizing unexpected shutdowns. Durable zinc body and bowl resist corrosion and harsh environments while the 1/4\" PTF port size supports straightforward piping and compatibility with standard compressed air systems, reducing installation complexity and enabling retrofit with existing fittings. From an efficiency standpoint, the Excelon design supports inline lubrication for high-availability applications, aligning with lean maintenance strategies and helping OEMs standardize lubrication across lines. This solution is ideal for general automation where reliability and predictable performance matter most.
