Norgren L82C-3GP-EPN Excelon Plus Oil Fog Lubricator - G3/8, Closed Bowl
Part Number: L82C-3GP-EPN
Quick Summary
Oil fog lubricator provides precise oil-air lubrication for pneumatic systems in automation environments. Engineers often struggle to balance lubrication, risking increased wear and unexpected downtime. In industry, CE conformity and IP-rated enclosures are common criteria, with SIL considerations for safety-critical machinery. The Excelon Plus L82C-3GP-EPN delivers inline or modular installation, a compact diecast zinc body, and a guarded plastic bowl, supporting reliable lubrication over short runs. This combination reduces maintenance intervals while enabling consistent performance across large-bore cylinders and air tools, making it a practical choice for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking predictable costs and uptime. Its flow range and start-point enable efficient lubrication at varying loads and distances.

FAQs
The L82C-3GP-EPN supports inline or modular installation on standard compressed air lines with a G3/8 port. Begin by identifying the appropriate mounting location, secure the lubricator to a stable surface or modular header, then connect the G3/8 inlet and outlet lines. Ensure the bowl is closed and the system is depressurized before maintenance. The provided CAD data and installation guide from Norgren simplify retrofit and new-build integration, helping minimize downtime and ensure proper alignment with existing fittings and hoses.
Flow of 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm) describes the maximum oil-logging capacity at steady state, while the start point at 0.5 dm3/sec indicates the minimum flow required to initiate lubrication. For large-bore cylinders or air tools that experience varying loads, this ensures a near-constant oil-air ratio across a range of flows, improving repeatability and reducing the risk of under- or over-lubrication. Consider your duty cycle and lubrication needs when sizing the unit for each pneumatic branch.
Yes. The Excelon Plus design supports heavier lubrication requirements over shorter distances, making it suitable for large-bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools. The oil fog approach delivers more oil per volume of air than light mist systems, improving protection against wear in high-load environments. For best results, pair the unit with components that share compatible porting and mounting standards and follow the inline installation guidance.
Industry-standard considerations for pneumatic lubricators include CE conformity and appropriate enclosure protection (IP ratings) depending on the installation environment, as well as SIL considerations for safety-critical machinery in automated lines. Always verify the precise certifications in the latest datasheet and product documentation supplied by Norgren for your regional regulations and application safety requirements.
Regular checks should include verifying bowl integrity, inspecting elastomer seals for wear, and confirming a clean supply of compressed air to prevent contamination. The guarded bowl design reduces oil fog leakage, lowering cleanup time and improving operator safety. Over time, reliable lubrication reduces wear, extends component life, and minimizes unplanned downtime, delivering measurable ROI through improved uptime and longer service intervals.
