The proportional valve uses a 4-20 mA control signal to modulate air pressure with tight accuracy, delivering a direct benefit to system stability and actuator performance. This translates to shorter cycle times and reduced energy consumption on automation lines, supporting lean manufacturing goals. The wide operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C and the 0.2 to 1 bar operating pressure band assure dependable operation in harsh factory floors and outdoor installations alike, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs. With IP65 enclosure protection, the device resists dust and water ingress, enabling safer, longer-lasting operation in challenging environments. The 540 l/m flow rate supports multiple actuators or staged control without sacrificing response times, while the compact 112.5 mm length and 65 mm width simplify mounting and retrofits. The G1/4 port size and Pneufit C fittings offer plug-and-play compatibility with existing pipelines and tubing. The VP10 range and UK origin underscore robust engineering and service support for North American and European teams alike.

FAQs
Yes. The valve accepts a 4-20 mA control signal, enabling direct PLC or controller integration for precise pressure modulation in pneumatic systems. It maintains stable output across the rated range and supports standard industrial interfaces for automotive, packaging, and assembly applications.
The device operates from -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) and handles inlet pressures from 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi). This makes it suitable for harsh factory environments where temperature swings and variable supply pressures are common.
The valve uses a G1/4 port size and supports Pneufit C push-in fittings, with straight and 90° elbow adaptor options. Tubing can be Polyamide 8 mm with 6 mm inner diameter, offering straightforward installation and reliable tube retention.
IP65 protection ensures dust tightness and water jets resistance, allowing safe operation in dusty or damp environments and simplifying compliance with workplace safety standards. It reduces risk of ingress during washdowns or in dirty factory corners.
Expect more consistent actuator performance and faster, repeatable cycles thanks to precise 4-20 mA control. Reduced energy consumption, lower maintenance, and easier retrofits with existing Pneufit C fittings contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership for automation projects.
