Norgren VP1002BJ400A00 Proportional control valve - IP65
Part Number: VP1002BJ400A00
Quick Summary
Proportional control valve VP1002BJ400A00 precisely modulates compressed air pressure for automated tooling and clamping systems. Engineers often wrestle with drift, slow response, or instability in pneumatic loops when using less capable valves. Key protections include IP65 for dust and water exposure, ensuring reliable operation in tough factory environments and aligning with common industrial standards. The VP10 family design accommodates -40 to 85 °C and 0.2 to 2 bar (3 to 29 psi), while the 4-20 mA control signal enables precise feedback-compatible control. Its G1/4 port, 540 l/m flow, and compact UK-built construction translate to easier installation, reduced leakage, and a clear path to scalable automation.

FAQs
Begin by ensuring the air supply is clean and within 0.2–2 bar. Connect the G1/4 ports to the existing pneumatic circuit using compatible Pneufit C fittings or adapters. Wire the 4-20 mA control signal to the valve’s input, observe proper polarity, and verify IP65 sealing after mounting. Confirm electrical and pneumatic isolation before commissioning to ensure safe, dependable operation in automated systems.
The valve provides a maximum flow of 540 liters per minute (19.07 scfm) and a control range of 0.2–2 bar (3–29 psi). It operates from -40 to 85 °C and carries an IP65 protection rating, supporting rugged factory environments. The port size is G1/4, and the control signal is 4-20 mA, enabling precise feedback-based control in PLC-driven automation.
Yes. The VP1002BJ400A00 is built for industrial environments with IP65 protection, which helps resist dust and water exposure common in vibration-intensive settings. Its robust construction, compact footprint, and 4-20 mA control support reliable performance in tooling stations and clamp mechanisms where consistent pressure is critical for repeatable results.
The product carries an IP65 rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and water exposure in typical washdown environments. This aligns with common industrial expectations for rugged pneumatic components. For region-specific certifications (such as CE or SIL readiness), consult the datasheet or supplier confirmation to verify applicability to your location and application.
The valve's precise 4-20 mA control minimizes pressure drift, reducing scrap and rework in automated lines. IP65 protection lowers maintenance frequency in dusty or wet environments, while its compact form simplifies installation and spare-part management. Over time, the predictable performance and compatibility with standard fittings contribute to lower lifecycle costs and faster project payback.
