Norgren L73M-2AP-QPN Micro Fog Lubricator - 1/4 PTF
Part Number: L73M-2AP-QPN
Quick Summary
Norgren L73M-2AP-QPN Micro Fog Lubricator is designed to deliver precise lubrication for general pneumatic systems. In long piping and variable flow setups, maintaining a stable oil-to-air ratio can be a major hurdle that disrupts performance. Industry standards such as CE compliance, reliable enclosure protection, and safety-focused design are important when choosing feeders for critical lines. This Excelon lubricator supports inline or modular installation, features a guarded plastic bowl with manual drain, and uses micro-fog technology to optimize lubrication with minimal oil use. By combining predictable flow with straightforward serviceability, this solution helps maintenance teams improve efficiency and reduce operating costs in factory automation environments.

Excelon Plus micro fog lubricator, 1/4" PTF, Guarded plastic bowl closed
The Excelon micro fog lubrication, paired with an integrated flow sensor, maintains a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio across a wide range of flows, delivering predictable lubrication and reducing wear on downstream actuators. This translates to extended component life and lower oil consumption in everyday production scenarios. Its support for inline or modular installation simplifies retrofits and minimizes spatial footprint, letting engineers design more versatile pneumatic layouts and reducing installation time by days rather than hours. A guarded plastic bowl with a manual drain enhances spill control and makes routine servicing safer and faster, cutting unscheduled downtime. With an aluminium body, polycarbonate bowl, and elastomer seals, the unit stands up to harsh factory environments while providing clear oil level visibility. Key flow figures—38 dm3/sec (81 scfm) with a start point of 0.71 dm3/sec and a maximum inlet of 10 bar—cover broad system ranges for general purpose applications, including long pipework.

FAQs
The L73M-2AP-QPN supports both inline and modular installation configurations, enabling flexible mounting in compact spaces or retrofits along existing lines. It uses a 1/4" PTF port and includes a guarded plastic bowl with manual drain for straightforward servicing. These features make it suitable for general purpose pneumatic systems across multiple plant layouts and equipment footprints.
The integrated flow sensor actively monitors air flow and adjusts lubrication delivery to maintain a near-constant oil-to-air ratio across a broad operating range. This stability minimizes oil waste, prolongs actuator life, and delivers consistent performance even when system demand shifts due to changes in load, temperature, or pipe length.
Yes. The Excelon Micro Fog Lubricator is designed for general pneumatic applications, including long pipework, where fine mist lubrication is advantageous. With a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar and a flow capability of up to 38 dm3/sec (81 scfm), it supports high-flow scenarios while preserving a controlled lubrication profile to protect downstream components.
The provided data does not specify regulatory certifications for this exact model. For confirmation on CE marking, IP ratings, or SIL classifications relevant to your region or application, consult the official datasheet or contact the supplier. Understanding these certifications is essential for safe deployment in regulated environments and for assessing compatibility with your quality management system.
Maintenance is simplified by the guarded bowl and manual drain, which reduce spill risk and enable quicker servicing. The durable aluminium body and visible polycarbonate bowl support long service intervals and easier inspection, contributing to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime. The predictable micro fog lubrication also minimizes oil consumption, further reducing ongoing operating expenses over the asset’s life.
