Norgren is introducing a new high-performance proportional control valve, the VP60, which features new microprocessor-driven position control and high dynamic properties, thereby enabling short acceleration times to be achieved.
By using a glandless spool and sleeve design, the VP60 makes a real difference in applications requiring very high operating figures; the VP60 typically delivers better than 250million operations at full stroke.
Zero-point adjustment via a mini keypad provides an application-specific method of adjusting for leakage, drift and offset, and a multicolour LED indicates device status diagnostic information.
The VP60 is suitable for deployment within sectors such as mechanical engineering, automotive manufacturing, packaging, printing, paper processing, medical and food.
Typical applications within these sectors include rotational speed control, velocity control, vacuum generation and torque regulations.
In combination with a PLC the VP60 could also be used for positioning applications.
Available in pressure ratings up to 12bar and with flow capabilities to 1200 l?min the VP60 is suitable in its standard form for environments that require ATEX Zone 2 certified devices.
Conforming to CE marking requirements, the VP60 benefits from IP65 protection and is free of lacquer-affecting substances.
Connection can be made via G1?4 and 1?4NPT ports and the VP60 features optimised linearity in conjunction with minimum hysteresis, failsafe bleeding and zero overlap mode.
