A pneumatic lubricator delivers a fine oil mist to the compressed-air stream, continuously lubricating valves, cylinders and other moving pneumatic components. Essential in legacy systems whose components require oil-mist lubrication, extending component life dramatically. Backed by 90+ years of Norgren IMI engineering, five product families cover two basic types: mist (standard oil aerosol) and micro-fog (fine mist for distant components).

Oil-fog (C-suffix): larger, heavier oil droplets in a coarser aerosol — best for short pipe runs, large-bore slow cylinders and air tools close to the lubricator. Micro-fog (M-suffix): a much finer aerosol carried over long, complex pipework and multi-valve manifold systems. Choose micro-fog for large distributed systems; oil-fog for nearby high-demand components.
Norgren recommends ISO VG 32 or ISO VG 22 industrial pneumatic oil. Don't use motor oil — its additives can clog valves. Norgren marks the recommended specific oil on each range's datasheet (Norgren-branded B85-006 is the recommended oil).
Oil consumption depends on system size and uptime. Typical: compact (L07) — refill every 1–3 weeks; medium (Excelon L72-74) — every 2–4 weeks; heavy industrial (Olympian L68) — weekly. All Norgren lubricators have transparent reservoirs — easy level checks. Never let it run dry.
A lubricator LUBRICATES — adds oil to the air. A filter-regulator FILTERS and REGULATES (but doesn't lubricate). Modern oil-free pneumatic components (most of today's valves) DON'T need lubrication — oil actually harms them. For legacy systems with components requiring oil-mist lubrication, the lubricator extends component life. Full protection = filter-regulator + lubricator in series = full FRL.
Norgren lubricators are adjusted via a thumb-screw needle valve — turn the screw for fine control. Target: 5–10 drops per minute for typical industrial systems, or 1 drop per 50–100 actuator cycles. Too much oil → contaminates the system; too little → inadequate protection. The lubricator sight-glass shows the drip rate for visual setting.
