Feature: Proportional control with a 4-20 mA signal enables precise pressure modulation. Business Impact: Tight process control, reduced cycle times, and easier integration with PLCs and PID loops. Application: Packaging lines, robotic grippers, and automated assembly where consistent actuation pressure matters. Feature: Compact zinc body and slim 62 mm height with a 51x34 mm footprint minimize panel space and simplify retrofits. Business Impact: Higher manifold density, lower cabinet costs, and easier serviceability. Application: Tight-spaced automation cabinets and retrofit projects in existing lines. Feature: Broad operating range 0-6 bar and ambient 0-60 °C supports diverse actuators and harsh factory environments. Business Impact: Extends usable life across multiple lines, reduces spare-parts variety, and improves uptime. Application: Clampers, grippers, and cylinder actuators in packaging and manufacturing. Feature: Open-loop, low-power technology delivers reliable actuation with minimal heat and power draw. Business Impact: Energy savings, simpler cooling, and compatibility with battery-powered monitoring nodes. Application: Energy-conscious automation schemes and sub-panel isolations in control rooms. Feature: IP20-rated protection guards internal components from incidental contact and light dust ingress. Business Impact: Safer operation in enclosed panels, longer service intervals, and easier compliance with industrial safety norms. Application: Machine enclosures, control panels, and enclosed automation cabinets. Feature: G1/8 port size plus Pneufit C push-in fittings provide fast, reliable installation. Business Impact: Reduced commissioning time, fewer leak points, and straightforward field upgrades. Application: Replacing older proportional valves in existing piping with minimal downtime.

FAQs
Use standard G1/8 ports and Pneufit C push-in fittings (e.g., 6 mm tubing). Connect the 4-20 mA control wiring to your PLC or controller, mount the valve in a clean, vibration-free area, and perform a leak check after tightening the fittings. Ensure orientation matches the intended flow path and verify compatibility with existing Pneufit C accessories for a secure, quick install.
A 4-20 mA signal provides a continuous, noise-immune current-loop control that maps to valve output pressure. This enables smooth proportional modulation, precise repeatability, and easier integration with most industrial controllers, especially where PID tuning and centralized control are used.
Yes. With a 0-6 bar operating range, compact footprint, and IP20 protection, this valve is well-suited for packaging lines and other automated systems requiring reliable, space-efficient air control and repeatable actuation in enclosed equipment.
IP20 indicates protection against solid objects over 12 mm and no protection against liquids. It suits interior machine cabinets and controlled environments where incidental contact and dust exposure are minimal. Always install within appropriate enclosures to maintain reliability and safety.
ROI comes from lower power consumption, reduced thermal load, and a smaller footprint enabling denser panel layouts. The open-loop, low-maintenance design minimizes downtime and spare-part costs, while faster commissioning reduces project timelines, delivering measurable energy and efficiency savings over the valve’s lifecycle.
