SMC AL50-N06-3RZ Modular Lubricator (Discontinued)

The SMC AL50-N06-3RZ is a modular air-line lubricator from the AL family: body size 50, 3/4" 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.

Specifications

Specifying This Unit in a New Design

Do not design the AL50-N06-3RZ 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 AL50-N06-3RZ still available?

No. It has been discontinued by SMC. The current replacement is the equivalent AL-D series lubricator.

What replaces the AL50-N06-3RZ?

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.
