R74G-4GK-NFN

Quick Summary

R74G-4GK-NFN pressure regulator delivers precise pneumatic control for automated compressed-air systems. Engineers often struggle with downstream pressure drift that disrupts actuators and process timing. When selecting components, verify CE conformity, SIL suitability where required, and IP-protection level for your environment. This Excelon regulator supports inline or modular installation and offers a balanced valve design for dependable pressure control, with standard features to protect downstream circuits. The push-to-lock knob plus tamper-resistant accessories help ensure consistent setup and long service life. Designed for 20 bar max inlet, 0.3–4 bar output, and G1/2 porting, it aligns with common industry standards and supports scalable automation projects.

Excelon design enables in-line or modular installation, reducing panel footprint and enabling phased upgrades. This flexibility translates to faster commissioning and easier retrofits on existing lines, saving engineering time and installation costs. In practice, you can position the regulator close to the actuator bank or integrate it into a compact manifold, improving serviceability in tight panels. Balanced valve design delivers stable outlet pressure under fluctuating load, resulting in smoother cylinder response, fewer pulsations, and longer actuator life for packaging, automotive, and process automation lines. Non-relieving configuration maintains the set pressure at the downstream port, reducing unexpected pressure changes during cyclic operation, while noting that relieved variants exist in the Excelon range for dead-end safety on other models. The push-to-lock adjusting knob with tamper-resistant accessory improves setting stability in harsh environments, lowering maintenance frequency. Durable die-cast aluminium body and bonnet, acetal knob, and nitrile elastomer seals withstand industrial temperatures (-34 to 80 °C) and provide dependable performance across typical factory floors. With G1/2 inlet and Rc1/8 gauge port, the regulator supports standard pneumatic circuits and up to 105 dm3/s (222 scfm) flow, aligning with Norgren accessory ecosystems like Quikclamp, mounting brackets, and service kits for rapid field servicing.

FAQs

Yes. The Excelon design supports both in-line and modular installation, enabling flexible layouts. For inline use, mount close to actuators to minimize feed length and response delay; for modular installations, connect to a compact manifold to simplify gravity-feed layouts and maintenance. This flexibility speeds up commissioning and future expansions while preserving performance.
The regulator provides an outlet pressure range of 0.3 to 4 bar with a maximum inlet pressure of 20 bar. This combination supports precise control of pneumatic actuators while tolerating typical plant upstream fluctuations. Use the 0.3–4 bar range for most general automation tasks and consider upstream conditioning for best results.
Operating temperature is -34 to 80 °C, making it suitable for standard factory floors and many process environments. The construction uses die-cast aluminium and nitrile elastomers, which resist typical industrial contaminants. For extremely harsh or chemical environments, verify compatibility with your plant’s exposure levels and consider additional enclosure protection as needed.
Compatible accessories include Quikclamp variants (4314-51, 4314-52), Tamper Resistant Cover and Wire (4355-51), Neck Mounting Bracket (4368-51), and 'Universal' Bracket (4324-50). A service kit (R74G-KITR) is available for routine maintenance. These options streamline mounting, tamper resistance, and field servicing across multiple machines.
The precise, stable pressure control reduces actuator wear and downstream drift, lowering unplanned downtime and rework. Inline or modular installation speeds commissioning and future upgrades, while tamper-resistant features reduce drift from accidental knob adjustments. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved process reliability, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
