Norgren VP2302BD461MB201 Proportional Valve - IP65

All-digital control electronics enable precise, repeatable proportional pressure control with rapid response to demand changes. This translates to tighter tolerances in pneumatic actuation and minimized overshoot, reducing cycle times and waste in high-speed packaging and assembly lines. In practice, you gain steadier valve performance across varying supply quality and ambient temperature, making setup simpler and more robust across multiple machines in a line. The valve is designed for compressed air, with a working range of 7 to 17 bar (102 to 247 psi) and an operating temperature from -5 to 50 °C (23 to 122 °F). These specs support reliable control in rugged factory environments while minimizing leakage and wear. Seals made from nitrile rubber resist common lubricants and provide long service life even in mixed media lines. CE certification and IP65 protection ensure safe operation and compliance in dusty or wet production areas, enabling outdoor installations in some cases. The valve is free of lacquer-affecting substances, contributing to cleanliness in food, pharmaceutical, and electronics manufacturing. This combination reduces regulatory risk and supports maintenance programs by providing predictable performance with minimal environmental impact. Optional fieldbus actuation and serial interfacing with VP-Tool support seamless integration into modern control architectures and digital workflows. The VP23 family is designed for straightforward installation on standard manifolds with compatible pressure ranges, accelerating commissioning and reducing start-up time. Engineers benefit from a proven solution that aligns with lean manufacturing goals, lowers energy usage, and improves process stability across the production line. In practice, the VP2302BD461MB201 supports longer maintenance intervals and lower total cost of ownership due to its durable nitrile seals and sealed electronics, which resist contamination and environmental stress. Customers report faster diagnostics with the VP-Tool interface and quicker spare-part replacement due to standardized VP23 components. The modular design facilitates upgrading to fieldbus control or external pressure management without replacing the entire system, delivering measurable ROI through reduced downtime and improved product quality.
