Norgren L72M-2AP-QLN Lubricator - Micro Fog
Part Number: L72M-2AP-QLN
Quick Summary
L72M-2AP-QLN lubricator delivers micro-fog lubrication for general pneumatic systems used in automation lines. Engineers often struggle to maintain a stable oil-to-air ratio across long runs and varying flow rates, which can lead to inconsistent actuator performance. The Excelon design supports inline or modular installation and operates across a wide temperature range; while explicit certifications are not listed here, the Excelon family emphasizes rugged construction and predictable service in demanding environments. This combination of compact form, reliable materials, and configurable mounting translates into reduced maintenance, lower lubricant waste, and improved uptime across manufacturing cells and automated equipment. For installation, compatibility with standard 1/4 inch PTF lines and modular expansion enables faster setup and easier spare parts stocking.

FAQs
The L72M-2AP-QLN is designed for both inline and modular installation with a 1/4" PTF port. This enables straightforward integration into existing piping runs and makes retrofits across automation lines efficient. When wiring and mounting, follow the installation guide to ensure secure mounting and proper drain accessibility for routine maintenance.
The Excelon micro fog design delivers a fine mist that stabilizes the oil-to-air ratio across a broad flow range. With a defined start point of 0.94 dm3/sec and a maximum flow of 24 dm3/sec, the unit maintains consistent lubrication essential for consistent actuator performance and reduced wear, even as system demand changes.
Industries relying on general pneumatic automation, such as packaging, material handling, and manufacturing cells, benefit from the L72M-2AP-QLN. Its inline/modular adaptability and micro fog output are particularly advantageous for long piping runs, complex layouts, and high-cycle applications where precise lubrication improves tool life and uptime.
The provided data sheet does not list specific certifications. For certified use in regulated environments, confirm CE marking, IP ratings, or SIL compatibility with the official Norgren documentation or local procurement guidelines. Always verify current certification status with the manufacturer before installation in compliant facilities.
Regular inspection of the manual drain and bowl condition, along with periodic replacement of elastomer seals, keeps performance stable. The 1/4" PTF port supports standard connections, while inline or modular configurations reduce downtime during upgrades. Consistent lubrication, clean air supply, and scheduled drain checks help maximize tool life and overall process efficiency.
