Product Overview
The FESTO MPPE-3-1/4-6-420-B is a precision pneumatic proportional pressure regulator engineered for continuous, electronically controlled pressure regulation in compressed air systems. As a member of Festo’s MPPE series, this valve converts an analog electrical setpoint signal (0–10 V or 4–20 mA) into a proportional pneumatic output pressure, enabling stepless, closed-loop pressure control directly within the pneumatic circuit. The unit features a 1/4″ port connection, a 6 bar nominal pressure range, and a 420 l/min nominal flow rating, making it ideally suited for dynamic pressure profiling, force-controlled actuation, and soft-start/soft-stop functions in automated industrial machinery. Its integrated closed-loop control electronics compare the actual output pressure—sensed internally—against the commanded setpoint, delivering high repeatability and minimal hysteresis without the need for external feedback devices.
