Selling Points
- 1The Festo VPWP-8 is a 5/3-way proportional directional control valve, ideal for applications requiring precise flow control. It operates within a pressure range of 0 to 10 bar and features a standard nominal flow rate of 1,400 liters per minute.
- 2This valve is electrically actuated with a magnetic spring reset method, ensuring reliable operation. It supports direct mounting via through-holes or via H-rail, making it versatile for various installation scenarios.
- 3The VPWP-8 is equipped with integrated pressure sensors, providing high repetition accuracy (less than 1%) and pressure resolution (0.01 bar). It also includes LED indicators for diagnostics, such as undervoltage, temperature monitoring, and short-circuit detection.
- 4The valve is constructed from high-quality materials, including reinforced polyamide for the cover and electronics housing, nitrile rubber for seals, and anodized wrought aluminum alloy for the valve housing. It is RoHS-compliant, ensuring environmental safety.
- 5The Festo VPWP-8 supports communication via CAN bus with Festo protocol, allowing for seamless integration with other Festo products. It also features a 5-pin M9 plug for electrical connection, ensuring reliable data transmission.
