Product Description:
The Norgren range of pressure regulators offers accurate and dependable control of compressed air pressure throughout various industrial pneumatic systems. This extensive product lineup includes several types of regulators catering to different needs: the miniature R07 series, the modular Excelon series comprising R72G, R73G, and R74G models, large-port inline regulators within the R17 series, and pilot-operated high-flow regulators in the R18 series. These devices ensure stable downstream pressure even when inlet pressure or flow demand fluctuate, thereby safeguarding pneumatic equipment and maintaining consistent process efficiency.
Specifically, the R07 series miniature regulators are engineered for compact spaces. They feature a zinc body combined with an acetal bonnet and are equipped with a low-torque, non-rising adjusting knob that includes a snap-action lock for secure settings. Meanwhile, the Excelon R72G, R73G, and R74G series incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the impact of changes in inlet pressure on the outlet pressure. These models are versatile and can be installed as standalone inline units or integrated into a modular Excelon air preparation system using Quickclamp connections.
For applications requiring high flow rates, the R17 series delivers regulation with large port sizes up to G1-1/2 and a maximum flow capacity reaching 441 SCFM. The R18 series features pilot-operated regulators tailored for setups where pressure regulation needs to occur at locations that are difficult to access. In these systems, the pilot regulator can be installed remotely, providing exceptionally high relief flow to accommodate system demands effectively.
All models within this range are compatible with compressed air, argon, and nitrogen gases. They support maximum inlet pressures of up to 31 bar (450 psi), depending on the specific regulator model. Furthermore, the relieving design incorporated into these regulators allows for the reduction of downstream pressure in cases where the system becomes dead-ended, enhancing safety and operational stability.
Features:
The product line offers a complete range of sizes, starting from the miniature G1/8 (R07) up to the large port G2 (R18), making it suitable for almost any pneumatic system requirement. This extensive size variety ensures compatibility across various applications and system demands.
The balanced valve design featured in the R72G, R73G, and R74G series significantly minimizes the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure. This design enhances stability and provides consistent pressure regulation for optimal system performance.
With a relieving operation capability, these valves enable the safe and controlled reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended. This functionality helps maintain system safety by preventing pressure build-up in closed sections.
The modular Excelon system allows R72G, R73G, and R74G regulators to be easily connected to filters, oilers, soft-start valves, and pipe adapters through Quickclamp connections. This modularity simplifies installation and system customization.
The miniature R07 series is designed with a compact zinc body and an acetal bonnet, making it ideal for installations where space is limited. Its small form factor does not compromise on functionality.
Both the R07 and Excelon series include a low torque non-rising adjusting knob that features a snap-action mechanism. When pushed in, the knob locks the pressure setting securely, preventing accidental adjustments.
Maintenance is straightforward due to the tool-free disassembly feature, allowing the valve to be taken apart without tools or the need to disconnect it from the air line, thus minimizing downtime.
The pilot-operated option available in the R18 series enables pressure regulation in locations that are difficult to access. This is achieved via remote pilot installation, offering enhanced operational flexibility.
The R18 series also excels in providing exceptionally high relief flow rates, allowing rapid reduction of downstream pressure when necessary, which is critical for system protection and efficiency.
High flow capacity is another key feature, with the R17 series capable of flow rates up to 441 SCFM, while the R18 series supports flows up to 2000 SCFM, catering to demanding pneumatic applications.
The valves support a wide pressure range adapting to different operational needs: R07 operates between 0.3 to 7 bar, R72G/R73G/R74G from 0.3 to 10 bar, R17 from 0.3 to 8.5 bar, and R18 from 0.16 to 17 bar.
Temperature resistance is broad as well, with the R07 functioning between -20°C and +65°C, R72G from -34°C to +65°C, R73G/R74G from -34°C up to +80°C, and the R18 series from -20°C to +80°C.
Multiple durable body materials are employed to ensure corrosion resistance and longevity, including zinc for R07 and R72G, and aluminium for R73G, R74G, R17, and R18 models.
The use of nitrile elastomers (standard NBR seals) guarantees reliable performance when using compressed air and inert gases, offering dependable sealing over time.
Full flow gauge ports are incorporated to facilitate pressure monitoring without reducing airflow, enhancing system diagnostics and maintenance.
Additionally, optional pressure gauges are available on several models, providing flexibility to operate with or without integrated gauges based on user preference or application requirements.

Applications:
In the realm of industrial automation, precise pressure control plays a critical role in managing pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and valves on manufacturing lines. This ensures efficient and reliable operation across various production processes.
Pneumatic tools also benefit from regulated air supply, which supports a range of equipment such as air tools, screwdrivers, impact wrenches, and spray guns. Consistent pressure is essential for maintaining tool performance and prolonging their lifespan.
Within packaging machinery, maintaining a steady air pressure is vital for equipment like form-fill-seal machines, labeling systems, and cartoning devices. This consistency ensures smooth operation and accuracy in packaging tasks.
The food and beverage processing industry relies on clean and well-regulated air to operate packaging and processing machinery effectively. Proper air quality and pressure help maintain hygiene standards and product integrity.
Material handling systems, including conveyors, pick-and-place setups, and vacuum handling equipment, require precise pressure control to function smoothly and securely. This control enhances automation efficiency and safety.
Textile machinery, such as weaving, knitting, and yarn processing equipment, depends on regulated air to maintain proper operation. Air pressure control in this sector helps ensure product quality and consistent production rates.
The automotive assembly process utilizes regulated air supplies extensively in paint shops, assembly tools, and testing equipment. Stable pressure regulation is crucial for accuracy and quality in vehicle manufacturing.
