Product Description
The Festo VPPE is a pilot-controlled proportional pressure regulator that offers the most cost-effective proportional valve solution in the Festo range, available with or without display . Featuring setpoint input as an analogue voltage signal (0–10 V) or current signal (4–20 mA) and electrical connection via M12x1 plug (4 or 5-pin), this 3-way proportional pressure regulator is designed for simple control tasks and is available in variants recommended for lithium-ion battery production systems (F1A) .
Key Features & Advantages:
Most Cost-Effective Proportional Valve in the Range: Offers exceptional value for money while delivering reliable proportional pressure control for straightforward pneumatic applications .
Pilot-Controlled with Soft Sealing Principle: Pilot-controlled diaphragm or piston control valve design ensures stable regulation characteristics, with a mechanical spring reset for safety positioning .
Analogue Setpoint Input (0–10 V or 4–20 mA): Flexible setpoint input options allow seamless integration into existing control systems; both voltage variant (0–10 V) and current variant (4–20 mA) are available .
Display Variant with Three Retrievable Presets: Optional 3-digit LED display variant features three retrievable presets and integrated digital controller electronics for convenient on-device parameter selection and monitoring .
F1A Variants for Li-ion Battery Production: Specialized F1A variants exclude metals with >1% copper, zinc, or nickel by mass as main components—essential for contamination-sensitive battery manufacturing environments (exceptions: nickel in steel, chemically nickel-plated surfaces, circuit boards, cables, connectors, coils) .
