SMC AL30-N03B-6Z Modular Lubricator (Discontinued)
The SMC AL30-N03B-6Z is a modular air-line lubricator from the AL family: body size 30, 3/8" NPT ports. It feeds a metered oil mist to downstream valves, cylinders, and tools and is part of SMC's modular air-preparation (F.R.L.) system. It has been discontinued by SMC.
Recommended Replacement
SMC AL-D Series
SMC discontinued the AL-A modular lubricators (March 2025). The current replacement is the AL-D series. Confirm the exact configured part number for your ports, bowl, and drain options; Automation Distribution can verify the correct crossover.

Specifying This Unit in a New Design
Do not design the AL30-N03B-6Z into new equipment - it is discontinued. For new builds, specify the equivalent SMC AL-D lubricator. Note that many modern pneumatic components are designed for non-lube operation; confirm whether downstream equipment still requires lubrication before specifying a replacement lubricator at all.
Crossover Notes
- The AL-A modular lubricator generation ended production in March 2025; the AL-D series is the current replacement.
- Match port size, thread type, bowl material, and drain option when selecting the AL-D equivalent.
- If downstream components are rated for non-lube service, the lubricator may not need to be replaced at all - confirm before ordering.
- Confirm the exact configured replacement part number with Automation Distribution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SMC AL30-N03B-6Z still available?
No. It has been discontinued by SMC. The current replacement is the equivalent AL-D series lubricator.
What replaces the AL30-N03B-6Z?
The equivalent SMC AL-D series lubricator. Confirm ports and bowl/drain options for your build.
Do I still need a lubricator?
Many current SMC components run non-lube. If your downstream equipment is non-lube rated, you may be able to remove the lubricator instead of replacing it. Confirm with Automation Distribution.
