Design

The proportional valve MPYE-5-1/8 is assembled on a base which incorporates the quick release detent system (mounting alternative "A") suitable for profile-plate mounting. The valve is equipped with LCU push-in fittings and two silencers. The major internal components of a proportional directional control valve are: A pneumatic 5/3-way valve of spool design, closed in its mid-position (1) A plunger-armature drive (2) to position the valve spool A sensor (3) to measure the valve spool position Integrated valve electronics (4) to control the valve spool position.

Function

The proportional directional control valve converts an analogue electrical input signal into appropriate cross-section openings to the outputs. At half the nominal voltage, i.e. 5 V, the valve assumes its pneumatic mid-position, in which all control edges are closed, so that no air apart from minimal leakage passes through the valve.. At 0 and 10 V respectively, the valve assumes one of its end positions, with maximum opening cross-section. A plunger-armature drive acting directly on the pneumatic spool valve acts as an electromechanical transducer. An integrated electronic control for the valve-spool travel (subordinate position control loop) allows good static and dynamic characteristics to be obtained, which are reflected in the low hysteresis (below 0.3%), short actuating time (typically 5 ms) and high maximum frequency (approx. 100 Hz). The valve is thus particularly suitable for use as a final control element in conjunction with a higher-level position controller for the positioning of a pneumatic cylinder. If the valve spool jams, for example due to dirt, the valve cover cap (6) can be removed and the valve spool freed by hand.
