Product Description:
The Norgren range of pressure regulators delivers accurate and dependable control over compressed air pressure within industrial pneumatic systems. This extensive product lineup includes a variety of regulator types designed to suit different applications: miniature regulators from the R07 series, modular Excelon regulators belonging to the R72G, R73G, and R74G series, large-port inline regulators in the R17 series, as well as pilot-operated high-flow regulators found in the R18 series. These devices ensure a stable downstream pressure, regardless of fluctuations in inlet pressure or changes in flow demand. This stability helps protect pneumatic equipment and guarantees consistent performance throughout the process.
The R07 miniature regulator series is engineered for compact installation environments. These models feature robust zinc bodies paired with acetal bonnets, complemented by a low-torque, non-rising adjustment knob that includes a snap-action lock for secure settings. Meanwhile, the Excelon series—comprising the R72G, R73G, and R74G regulators—utilizes a balanced valve design which effectively minimises the impact of inlet pressure variations on the outlet pressure. These regulators can be deployed as standalone inline units or integrated into a modular Excelon air preparation system, utilizing convenient Quickclamp connections for easy assembly.
For applications requiring high flow rates, the R17 series offers large port sizes up to G1-1/2 and achieves flow capacities of up to 441 SCFM. Additionally, the R18 series features pilot-operated regulators tailored for systems where pressure control must occur at a remote or inaccessible location. In these setups, the pilot unit can be installed separately, providing exceptionally high relief flow to accommodate system requirements efficiently.
All models within the Norgren pressure regulator family are compatible with compressed air, argon, and nitrogen gases. Depending on the specific regulator, they can handle maximum inlet pressures reaching up to 31 bar (450 psi). Furthermore, the relieving design incorporated into these regulators allows for the reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended, enhancing safety and operational flexibility.

Applications:
In the realm of industrial automation, precise pressure control is essential for pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and valves used throughout manufacturing lines. This ensures optimal performance and reliability in automated processes.
For pneumatic tools such as air-powered screwdrivers, impact wrenches, and spray guns, a regulated air supply is crucial. Consistent pressure enhances tool efficiency and extends their operational lifespan.
Packaging machinery, including form-fill-seal systems, labeling, and cartoning equipment, relies on steady air pressure to maintain smooth and accurate operation, increasing overall productivity.
In food and beverage processing, it is vital to have clean and regulated air for packaging and processing machinery. This maintains product safety and compliance with hygiene standards.
Material handling systems, such as conveyors, pick-and-place setups, and vacuum handling devices, depend on precise pressure control to ensure smooth movement and accurate positioning of materials.
Textile machinery, which involves weaving, knitting, and yarn processing, requires consistent air regulation to maintain the quality and efficiency of production.
Automotive assembly processes benefit from a reliable air supply for paint shops, assembly tools, and testing equipment, contributing to high manufacturing standards and quality control.
For remote or hard-to-reach locations, R18 pilot-operated regulators provide effective pressure regulation, ensuring consistent operation even in challenging environments.
Multi-pressure systems utilize Excelon modular regulators, allowing multiple regulated pressures to be derived from a single compressed air source, offering flexibility and efficiency.
Finally, in general pneumatics, any application requiring precise and stable pressure regulation of compressed air or inert gases can benefit from these advanced regulation solutions.
