Product Overview
The FESTO VPPE-3-1-1/8-10-420-E1T is a precision electro-pneumatic proportional pressure regulator engineered by Festo for continuous, closed-loop pressure control in industrial automation and process systems. Operating on a proportional solenoid actuation principle, the valve converts a variable electrical setpoint signal (0–10 V or 4–20 mA) into a linearly proportional output pressure, enabling stepless pressure regulation independent of flow fluctuations. With a G1/8 threaded port connection and a regulated output range of 0 to 10 bar, this unit is designed for high-resolution pressure control tasks in pneumatic circuits. Its integrated closed-loop control electronics maintain output pressure stability against supply pressure variations and downstream load changes, making it a critical component in applications requiring dynamic, repeatable force and pressure modulation.
