Quick Summary

Norgren L73M-4GP-QPN Excelon micro fog lubricator provides precise lubrication for general-purpose pneumatic systems. In many installations, inconsistent lubrication and oil carryover from traditional lubricators degrade performance and raise maintenance costs. Industry standards such as CE compliance, IP-rated enclosures, and SIL safety considerations are a crucial reference when selecting reliable inline lubrication solutions. The Excelon L73M supports inline or modular installation and delivers micro fog lubrication that maintains a nearly constant oil–air ratio across varying flow. This translates into improved component wear protection, reduced oil waste, and predictable machine uptime, while offering compatibility with standard G1/2 ports and easy integration into existing plant infrastructure.

Excelon Plus micro fog lubricator, G1/2, Guarded plastic bowl closed
Excelon micro fog delivery provides a finer atomized lubricant than traditional lubricators, reducing oil consumption while improving coverage on moving parts. The business impact is lower operating costs and less misting in the enclosure, translating to cleaner production areas and longer component life. In real-world applications, the micro fog approach excels in long, complex piping where uniform lubrication is difficult with standard systems. With inline or modular installation capability, the L73M can be mounted alongside existing valves or as part of a modular lubrication block, accelerating commissioning and reducing downtime during line upgrades. This configuration also supports common G1/2 ports, simplifying integration into existing plant hardware. Flow performance at 38 dm3/sec (81 scfm) with a start point of 0.71 dm3/sec indicates a stable delivery curve across operating ranges, enabling predictable cycle timing and consistent actuator performance. The nearly constant oil/air ratio across a wide flow range reduces variability in downstream cylinders and grippers, improving repeatability and uptime. The unit uses an aluminum body with a polycarbonate bowl and elastomer seals, delivering a robust, lightweight, and chemically compatible solution for general automation equipment. Manual drain and guarded bowl design help minimize spills and safeguard maintenance work, while CAD and installation guides support rapid, risk-managed deployment in new or retrofit projects. By aligning with industry best practices for inline lubrication, the L73M delivers measurable efficiency gains, lower total cost of ownership, and improved process reliability in industrial environments.

FAQs

The L73M-4GP-QPN is designed for inline or modular installation, supporting standard G1/2 ports and a guard-protected polycarbonate bowl. This combination simplifies retrofit projects and allows seamless integration with existing valves and repositories in general-purpose pneumatic lines, reducing commissioning time and minimizing system disruption.
The unit delivers a micro fog oil spray with a total flow of 38 dm3/sec (81 scfm) and a start point of 0.71 dm3/sec, offering a nearly constant oil/air ratio over a wide range of flows. This stability translates to consistent actuator movement, reduced wear, and lower maintenance intervals in long piping or high-variation systems.
Yes. The Excelon micro fog design is specifically advantageous for long or intricate piping networks, where traditional lubricators struggle to maintain uniform coverage. Inline or modular installation capabilities further support scalable configurations, ensuring uniform lubrication across extended runs and diverse layout topologies.
It uses a guarded polycarbonate bowl with a manual drain, reducing spill risk during servicing. The aluminum body contributes to durability in plant environments. For safe and accurate servicing, refer to the installation guide and CAD downloads provided in the product resources to ensure proper reassembly and leak-free operation.
Engineers can expect lower lubricant consumption due to micro fog efficiency, improved wear protection for cylinders and valves, and more predictable cycle times from a stable oil/air ratio. The modular installation enables faster line upgrades and retrofit projects, delivering reduced downtime and a lower total cost of ownership over the lubricator’s lifecycle.
