FAQs
The VP1208BG401Q00 uses standard G1/8 ports, enabling straightforward installation into common pneumatic manifolds. Its compact dimensions (51 mm L, 34 mm W, 62 mm H) and a weight of 0.2 kg support easy mounting on compact panels or integrated frames. Ensure proper alignment to avoid misconnection and venting restrictions; use appropriate seals to prevent leakage.
Operating pressure is 0 to 8 bar (0 to 116 psi), with an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F). The valve provides a flow of 190 l/m (6.71 scfm), suitable for precise control in small pneumatic circuits while maintaining quick response and stable regulation.
The valve is designed for general factory automation in space-constrained pneumatic systems. Its miniature size, IP20 protection, and open-loop control make it versatile for automation cells, actuators, and compact manifolds. For cleanroom or high-contamination environments, verify environment compatibility and consider additional protective measures if required.
The VP1208BG401Q00 carries an IP20 ingress protection rating, indicating limited dust protection and no water protection for typical industrial environments. This rating informs selection for environments with controlled dust exposure and dry operation. No other certifications are listed in the provided data; confirm with the supplier for CE or regional approvals if required.
The valve’s low-power design reduces energy consumption and thermal load on actuators, lowering operating costs over time. Its rugged zinc body and open-loop control minimize maintenance needs and spare parts, improving uptime. Rapid installation with standard G1/8 connections shortens project timelines and supports scalable automation without significant capital outlay.
