Compact and flexible by design, the VP1201BG401Q00 fits tight spaces while delivering precise pneumatic control. This enables machine builders to shrink panel footprints and simplify retrofits in existing lines, reducing installation time and costs. Suitable for packaging, picking, and assembly equipment that demand reliable, compact valves. Proven low power technology minimizes energy draw and thermal load, extending component life and reducing air consumption on multi-actuator systems. In automated lines with many actuators, this translates into measurable energy savings and lower cooling requirements. The valve's open-loop architecture keeps control electronics simple and cost-effective, while maintaining predictable response suitable for integration with standard PLCs. Open-loop reliability is backed by rugged zinc-body construction and IP20 protection, ensuring durable operation in factory environments and lowering maintenance demands. The mechanical design tolerates shock and vibration common in conveyors and palletizers, lowering downtime and spare-part spend. G1/8 port size and compact dimensions deliver plug-and-play compatibility with common pneumatic libraries, enabling faster project execution and safer handovers to manufacturing. Engineers gain faster integration with standard fittings and accessible routing, reducing installation risk. The VP12 range supports scalable deployment across multiple machines, easing future-proofing of automated lines. Low power and straightforward wiring simplify control-system integration with existing PLCs and sensors, delivering repeatable response times that improve process consistency and product quality. For teams, this means easier commissioning, safer handover to maintenance, and a clear ROI argument.

FAQs
This valve uses G1/8 ports and a compact footprint (51 mm x 34 mm x 62 mm). For best results, mount in a clean, pressurized air line with proper filtration and lubrication as required by your downstream actuators. Ensure enclosure protection aligns with IP20 ratings and avoid mounting in hazardous zones without appropriate enclosure.
The device operates over 0 to 1 bar (0 to 15 psi) with a stated flow of 190 l/m (6.71 scfm). It is designed for open-loop control and relies on a compressed-air medium. The compact form factor supports rapid response within a wide ambient temperature range from 0 to 60 °C, suitable for many factory automation tasks.
Yes, the valve uses a rugged zinc body and IP20 protection, offering dependable operation in typical factory environments where conveyors and packing lines experience vibration. For environments with higher ingress risk, use proper enclosures or housings to maintain protection and avoid dust ingress.
The product data explicitly lists an IP20 rating as its certification attribute. No additional CE, UL, or other certifications are specified in the provided data, so verify with the supplier if regulatory requirements for your application demand extra compliance.
The combination of low power operation, simple open-loop control, and compact integration reduces energy consumption and wiring complexity. Improved repeatability in pressure control lowers scrap and rejects, while easier commissioning speeds time-to-market. Over multiple machines, these factors drive a favorable return on investment through energy savings and reduced maintenance.
