Product Description
The Festo MPPES is a proportional pressure regulator featuring direct actuation (G1/8 variants) or pilot actuated (G1/4, G1/2 variants) piston control valve design, delivering precise closed-loop pressure control with a soft sealing principle . With setpoint input as analogue voltage or current signal and a choice of pressure regulation ranges, this regulator is ideal for applications requiring accurate, electronically adjustable output pressure independent of fluctuating supply pressure .
Key Features & Advantages:
Direct or Pilot Actuated Design: Directly actuated for G1/8 port sizes with a 3 mm nominal pressurisation width; pilot-actuated for G1/4 and G1/2 port sizes with nominal widths up to 11 mm, providing flexible flow rate selection based on application requirements .
Analogue Setpoint Input Options: Available in both voltage variant (0–10 V) and current variant (4–20 mA) configurations, enabling seamless integration into diverse control systems .
Choice of Pressure Regulation Ranges: Multiple pressure regulation ranges available (e.g., 0–10 bar), with constant regulation characteristic independent of fluctuations in the compressed air supply (supply pressure must be min. 1 bar higher than max. output pressure) .
Field-Replaceable Setpoint Module: Available with optional, field-replaceable setpoint module for convenient parameter adjustment and system configuration without replacing the entire valve .
Robust Electrical Connection: Electrical connection via an 8-pin round plug to DIN 45326 (M16x0.75), rated IP65 in combination with the appropriate mating connector, with built-in short-circuit and reverse polarity protection for all electrical connections .
