Norgren VP1206BG101Q00 Miniature proportional pressure control valve - IP20
Part Number: VP1206BG101Q00
Quick Summary
Norgren VP1206BG101Q00 is a miniature proportional pressure control valve designed to precisely regulate compressed air in compact automation systems. In space-constrained panels, engineers struggle with achieving stable pressure without drawing excessive power. The device offers IP20 protection and a rugged zinc body, enabling reliable operation in typical factory environments. Its open-loop control and low power consumption help reduce energy costs and simplify heat management across multiple actuators. This makes it well-suited for CE-compliant installations and SIL-ready control architectures in modern automation lines, while its compact footprint supports easier installation and maintenance.

FAQs
Install the valve using standard G1/8 pipe fittings, ensuring clean, dry compressed air is delivered to the inlet. Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the valve in a panel, connect supply and actuator lines to the porting as indicated by the VP12 family layout, and verify IP20 protection is maintained by avoiding exposed electronics.
The valve operates from 0 to 6 bar (0–87 psi) and provides a flow of up to 190 L/min (6.71 SCFM). It is designed for compressed air and delivers proportional control with a compact, open-loop architecture suitable for small actuators and precise position or speed control.
Yes. The VP1206BG101Q00 uses a proven open-loop, low-power design that provides reliable proportional pressure control without the complexity of closed-loop feedback. This makes it well-suited for applications where predictability and simplicity are valued in automation lines.
The valve carries IP20 protection, is designed for operating temperatures from 0 to 60 °C, and uses a zinc body suitable for standard industrial environments. These characteristics support safe operation in typical manufacturing settings and easy integration with standard pneumatic systems.
Expect low ongoing energy use due to its low-power design and robust open-loop control. The compact form factor simplifies installation, while the zinc body and IP20 rating reduce wear and contamination risk. Standardized VP12 compatibility ensures spare parts availability, minimizing downtime and inventory costs.
