Product Description:
Norgren Pressure Regulator Range
The Norgren pressure regulator range offers precise and reliable control of compressed air pressure across a wide array of industrial pneumatic systems. This comprehensive product lineup includes several types of regulators designed to suit different applications and flow requirements. The main categories consist of miniature regulators (R07 series), modular Excelon regulators (R72G, R73G, R74G series), large-port inline regulators (R17 series), and pilot-operated high-flow regulators (R18 series). These devices ensure stable downstream pressure irrespective of fluctuations in inlet pressure or variations in flow demand, thereby safeguarding pneumatic equipment and enabling consistent process performance.
The R07 series miniature regulators are specifically engineered for compact installations. They feature a durable zinc body combined with an acetal bonnet and incorporate a low-torque, non-rising adjusting knob that includes a snap-action locking mechanism. In contrast, the modular Excelon series — including models R72G, R73G, and R74G — utilize a balanced valve design that effectively minimizes the influence of inlet pressure changes on the outlet pressure. These regulators are versatile; they can be configured either as inline units or integrated into a modular Excelon air preparation system using Quickclamp connection technology.
For applications requiring larger flow capacities, the R17 series offers high-flow regulation with port sizes up to G1-1/2. This series supports flow rates as high as 441 SCFM, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. Additionally, the R18 series features pilot-operated regulators designed for scenarios where pressure regulation must be managed from a remote or inaccessible location. With the pilot regulator installed separately, these units provide exceptionally high relief flow capabilities.
All Norgren pressure regulators are compatible with compressed air, argon, and nitrogen gases. Depending on the specific model, they accommodate maximum inlet pressures up to 31 bar (450 psi). Moreover, their relieving design allows for the controlled reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended, ensuring safety and operational stability.
Features:
Our product line offers a complete range of sizes, starting from the miniature G1/8 (R07) up to the large port G2 (R18), ensuring compatibility with virtually any pneumatic system requirement. This extensive size variety allows you to select the perfect fit for your specific application.
Featuring a balanced valve design, the R72G, R73G, and R74G series minimize the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure. This results in stable and consistent pressure regulation for enhanced system reliability.
The valve's relieving operation enables safe and controlled reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended. This functionality provides an extra layer of safety by preventing excessive pressure build-up.
The modular Excelon system enhances flexibility by allowing R72G, R73G, and R74G regulators to be easily connected to filters, oilers, soft-start valves, and pipe adapters through quickclamp connections, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Designed with space constraints in mind, the R07 series features a compact zinc body combined with an acetal bonnet, making it ideal for installations where size is a critical factor.
The low torque non-rising adjusting knob available on both the R07 and Excelon series offers a snap-action mechanism that locks the pressure setting securely when pushed in, preventing accidental adjustments.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the tool-free disassembly feature. These regulators can be taken apart easily without the need for tools or removal from the air line, saving time and effort during service.
For applications requiring remote pressure control, the R18 series provides a pilot-operated option. This allows the pressure regulator to be installed in inaccessible locations with a remote pilot setup.
The R18 series also offers exceptionally high relief flow capabilities for rapid downstream pressure reduction, ensuring efficient pressure management under demanding conditions.
With high flow capacity, the R17 series can handle flow rates up to 441 SCFM, while the R18 series supports flow rates as high as 2000 SCFM, accommodating high-demand pneumatic systems.
These regulators cover a wide pressure range: R07 operates between 0.3 to 7 bar, R72G/R73G/R74G between 0.3 to 10 bar, R17 from 0.3 to 8.5 bar, and R18 from 0.16 to 17 bar, providing versatility across various pressure requirements.
The temperature range is similarly broad, with R07 rated from -20°C to +65°C, R72G from -34°C to +65°C, R73G/R74G from -34°C to +80°C, and R18 from -20°C to +80°C, ensuring reliable operation under diverse environmental conditions.
Durability is enhanced by the use of multiple body materials, including zinc for the R07 and R72G models, and aluminum for the R73G, R74G, R17, and R18 series, offering superior corrosion resistance.
Standard nitrile elastomer (NBR) seals provide dependable performance when used with compressed air and inert gases, ensuring consistent sealing and longevity.
Full flow gauge ports are incorporated into the design, allowing for effective pressure monitoring without impeding airflow. Additionally, optional pressure gauges are available depending on the model, offering flexible monitoring solutions.
