FAQs
Yes. The VP1204BG401Q00 uses standard G1/8 ports and integrates smoothly with common pneumatic manifolds. When selecting adapters, ensure matching thread standards and seal materials to maintain IP20 protection and air leakage control. This compatibility simplifies retrofits and reduces commissioning time on existing lines.
Key specs include compressed air as the working medium, an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 °C, operating pressure from 0 to 4 bar (0–58 psi), a flow of 190 l/m, and a zinc body with IP20 protection. The unit is designed for open‑loop proportional control and compact footprint in VP12‑series implementations.
Yes. Its miniature form factor, 0–4 bar pressure range, and 190 l/m flow support precise pressure modulation in packaging and pick‑and‑place applications. The zinc body and IP20 rating provide durability in dirty, busy environments, while the open‑loop control simplifies tuning for consistent actuation of small cylinders.
The product carries an IP20 protection rating, indicating basic dust protection for open environments. CE compliance is commonly available for EU projects and is typically confirmed in the datasheet. Verify specific certification details in the product datasheet to match your regulatory requirements.
The valve’s open‑loop design and compact zinc body reduce maintenance complexity and replacement costs. Its low power consumption lowers energy bills in continuous‑run lines, while its small size minimizes cabinet space and piping changes during upgrades. Long‑term reliability in industrial environments supports favorable total cost of ownership for automation projects.
