Product Overview
The FESTO MPPE-3-1/8-10-420-B is a precision proportional pneumatic pressure regulator engineered for closed-loop electro-pneumatic pressure control in demanding industrial automation systems. As a member of Festo’s MPPE series, this valve converts an analog electrical setpoint signal into a continuously variable output pressure, enabling stepless regulation of downstream pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and process lines. The unit operates on a proportional solenoid principle with an integrated pressure feedback sensor, delivering fast response, high repeatability, and minimal hysteresis compared to conventional manually adjusted regulators. With a compact 1/8″ port configuration and a 0–10 bar control range, it is ideally suited for applications requiring dynamic force control, soft-start/soft-stop motion profiling, and precise contact pressure regulation within centralized pneumatic control cabinets.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Proportional Control: The MPPE-3 delivers continuously variable output pressure proportional to the analog setpoint signal, enabling exact force and pressure regulation with high repeatability and low hysteresis for critical process control.
- Integrated Closed-Loop Feedback: An internal pressure sensor continuously monitors output and corrects deviations in real time, ensuring stable regulation even under fluctuating supply pressure or changing flow demand.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with robust construction and wear-resistant internal components for extended service life.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Precision-manufactured to original FESTO specifications for direct replacement, minimising downtime and eliminating fitment issues.
