Norgren R72G-2AK-NMN Pressure Regulator - Non-relieving
Part Number: R72G-2AK-NMN
Quick Summary
Norgren R72G-2AK-NMN pressure regulator provides precise compressed air control for automation lines and pneumatic tooling. In busy production environments, small set-point drift and varying demand can cause tool wear and inconsistent cycles. The Excelon design supports inline or modular installation, while a balanced valve delivers stable output across changing flow conditions. The push-to-lock adjusting knob with tamper-resistant accessory helps prevent inadvertent changes in critical processes. Though some regulators lose pressure during interruptions, the R72G-2AK-NMN maintains set pressure with a robust non-relieving mechanism and durable seals. For compliance, consult the datasheet to confirm certification marks and installation guidance. This blend of reliability and install-friendly features translates to higher uptime and lower operating costs in factory automation and process lines.

Inline or modular installation enables rapid integration into existing panels or new builds, reducing retrofit time and wiring Aufwand while maintaining consistent performance across layouts. The balanced valve design delivers precise pressure control, minimizing downstream fluctuations and reducing tool wear, which translates to longer actuator life and improved part quality on automated lines. The push-to-lock knob with tamper-resistant accessory limits drift in high-vibration environments and supports secure set-point maintenance, a critical factor for regulated processes and single-point accountability. The non-relieving design ensures pressure is maintained when supply is interrupted, improving system safety and reducing unintended releases in sensitive applications. The 1/4" PTF inlet and 1/8" PTF gauge port provide common, compatible connections with standard pneumatic components, simplifying installation and service. With a maximum inlet pressure of 20 bar and an adjustable outlet range of 0.3 to 10 bar, the regulator covers typical PLC-driven actuation needs while leaving headroom for transient spikes. Durable materials—zinc diecast body, acetal bonnet and knob, and nitrile elastomers—offer rugged performance in industrial environments, while a flow rate of 33 dm3/sec (70 scfm) supports medium to high-demand circuits. The Excelon family’s compatibility with options like the Excelon Plus Pressure Sensing Block and 1/4" NPT adapters enables scalable sensor integration and streamlined maintenance. Overall, engineers gain predictable performance, reduced downtime, and lower lifecycle costs when deploying this regulator on new or retrofit projects.

FAQs
Yes. The Excelon design enables both in-line and modular installation, simplifying retrofits and new panel builds. Its compact footprint and standardized porting (1/4" PTF inlet, 1/8" PTF gauge) reduce the need for custom manifolds and speed up commissioning while maintaining robust performance in diverse layouts.
The regulator provides an outlet range of 0.3 to 10 bar with a maximum 20 bar inlet limit. This covers typical PLC-driven actuators and pneumatic tools, allowing stable downstream pressure even as demand varies. Use the 1/4" PTF inlet and monitor the 1/8" gauge port for precise verification during setup.
Non-relieving regulators hold set pressure when supply is interrupted, reducing unintended exhaust and pressure drift that can affect process stability. This is particularly valuable for precise tooling cycles, clamping systems, and sensitive actuators where sudden pressure loss could cause defects or safety concerns.
Plan for tamper-resistant, push-to-lock adjustment to maintain set-point integrity in high-vibration environments. Use compatible Excelon accessories like the Excelon Plus Pressure Sensing Block for sensor integration, and ensure proper panel mounting to preserve seal integrity and avoid cross-flow. Regular checks of elastomer seals (Nitrile) help sustain performance in humid or oily environments.
Expect improved process stability with tighter pressure control, extended tool life due to consistent actuation, and reduced downtime from fewer adjustment drift events. Inline/modular installation shortens commissioning time, while tamper-resistant knobs minimize misadjustments, contributing to lower maintenance and operating costs over the regulator's life cycle.
