Norgren L73C-3GP-QDN Excelon Oil Fog Lubricator - G3/8
Part Number: L73C-3GP-QDN
Quick Summary
Norgren L73C-3GP-QDN Excelon oil fog lubricator provides precise oil misting for pneumatic actuators and tools in automated production lines. In automated lines, inconsistent lubrication leads to wear, unpredictable performance, downtime, and higher maintenance costs. For high-cycle equipment, look for safeguards such as SIL readiness, CE marking, and IP-rated protection to meet demanding safety and reliability standards. The in-line or modular Excelon design, combined with a durable aluminium body and reliable oil fog flow, supports quick retrofits, minimizes installation time, and reduces overall operating expenditures. Field technicians also appreciate the clear drain options and the predictable lubrication performance across a wide temperature range.

Feature: Inline or modular installation is a hallmark of the Excelon L73C-3GP-QDN. This design enables quick integration into existing lines or as a modular drop-in unit, simplifying retrofits and minimizing commissioning time in automation cells. Flow sensor maintains a nearly constant oil/air ratio over a broad flow range. This consistency reduces variability in cylinder feeds and tool performance, delivering more predictable cycles and lower lubricant waste. Oil fog lubrication is ideal when heavier lubrication is required over short distances, such as large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools. The approach minimizes over-lubrication while maintaining protection against wear. G3/8 port size and a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar support compatibility with common pneumatic manifolds. The operating temperature range of -34 to 80 C broadens usable environments, and the aluminium body ensures durability under demanding conditions. Aluminium bowl, aluminium body, and elastomer seals (chloroprene and nitrile) provide a robust, long-service solution and reliable containment of oil fog. From a maintenance perspective, the manual drain offers straightforward servicing, while the flow sensor reduces recalibration needs. In practice, customers experience lower downtime and longer service intervals when matching this lubricator to larger, high-demand lines.

FAQs
The Excelon design supports inline or modular installation, enabling quick integration with existing lines and Norgren accessories. The G3/8 port size aligns with common pneumatic manifolds, and the manual drain simplifies servicing without disrupting production. Refer to the Installation Guide for step-by-step mounting and line routing.
Key specs include Medium: compressed air, Port Size: G3/8, Operating Temperature: -34 to 80 C, Maximum Inlet Pressure: 17 bar, Flow: 38 dm3/sec (81 scfm), Start point: 0.71 dm3/sec, and Materials: Aluminium for body and bowl with chloroprene and nitrile elastomers. These factors determine suitability for high-cycle lines and harsh environments.
Best suited for heavier lubrication over short distances, such as large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools in automated production lines. Its constant oil/air ratio and modular installation support reliable performance in high-demand machinery, reducing wear and downtime while improving tool life and consistency.
Prioritize inline or modular installation to fit the plant layout, verify G3/8 piping compatibility, and plan for the manual drain to facilitate quick servicing. The integrated flow sensor maintains a stable oil/air ratio across flow variations, reducing recalibration needs and lubricant waste in continuous operation environments.
