Norgren L72M-3GP-EDN Excelon Micro Fog Lubricator - G3/8
Part Number: L72M-3GP-EDN
Quick Summary
Norgren L72M-3GP-EDN is a precision Excelon micro fog lubricator designed for inline lubrication in general pneumatic systems. One common pain point is maintaining a stable oil-to-air ratio across long, multi-branch pipe runs, which can lead to erratic actuator performance. Certification details are not listed in this data; consult the datasheet for CE, IP, or SIL compliance. Its inline installation flexibility and micro-fog delivery support reliable operation, lower maintenance costs, and consistent performance in automated manufacturing environments. This combination helps engineers reduce lubrication waste while extending the life of valves and cylinders in demanding production lines, making it a practical choice for modern automation infrastructure.

Feature: Inline or modular installation enables flexible mounting in crowded control cabinets and retrofit projects. Benefit: Reduces install time and cabinet footprint while simplifying retrofit work and maintenance scheduling. Application: general pneumatic systems where space is tight or reconfiguration is frequent. Feature: Micro fog lubrication delivers a very fine oil mist for uniform coverage at a lower lubricant consumption rate. Benefit: Minimizes lubricant waste and reduces maintenance cycles, improving overall cost of ownership. Application: long pipe runs and complex pneumatic networks with high friction points. Feature: Flow sensor and a design that maintains a nearly constant oil/air ratio over a wide range of flows. Benefit: Predictable actuator response and improved process stability even as loads vary. Application: high-demand automation lines with fluctuating air demand. Feature: Closed-bowl, zinc body construction with a zinc bowl and elastomer seals. Benefit: Robust, spill-reducing operation with good chemical compatibility and extended service life in harsh environments. Application: standard manufacturing floors and applications requiring durable lubrication units. Feature: Operating range supports broad conditions (-34 to 65 °C; -30 to 149 °F) and a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar. Benefit: Greater installation versatility across factory floors and varying supply pressures. Application: outdoor or semi-enclosed plant areas and multi-point systems. Feature: Flow rate specification of 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm) and start point of 0.94 dm3/sec provides clear performance targets. Benefit: Engineers can dimension systems with confidence for consistent lubrication under peak demand. Application: general purpose pneumatic circuits and long-pipe installations.

FAQs
The L72M-3GP-EDN supports in-line or modular installation, allowing flexible mounting in control cabinets or near the actuator network. To install, connect the G3/8 port to the compressed air line, ensure the maximum inlet pressure does not exceed 17 bar, and secure the closed-bowl assembly to prevent leaks. Use the data sheet for step-by-step mounting guidance and to confirm compatibility with existing fittings.
Expect a reliable oil/air ratio across a wide flow range thanks to the integrated flow sensor. The unit delivers up to 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm) with a defined start point of 0.94 dm3/sec, providing stable lubrication even as demand varies along lengthy pipework and multiple branches, which translates to consistent actuator response and reduced wear.
Yes. The Excelon micro fog lubricator is designed for general pneumatic applications and long, more complex pipework. Its micro fog delivery and closed-bowl design are ideal for maintaining lubrication quality across diverse tooling, valves, and actuators in manufacturing environments while minimizing lubricant consumption.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. For regulatory compliance such as CE, IP ratings, or SIL, please consult the attached datasheet and supplier literature which may include the applicable standards and compliance notes.
