Proportional solenoids just got even smaller
Hot on the heels of its recent launch of the VPRM range of innovative compact proportional solenoid valves for pneumatics, Magnet Schultz, the specialist in electric actuators and solenoid subassemblies, has developed a new member of the family that reduces the form factor to an impressive 7mm diameter. The new VPKM-007 is ideal for miniature air and gas flow regulation applications.
Despite more than halving the diameter size of the new value over its nearest sibling (the 16mm diameter VPRM-016), the VPKM-007 delivers similarly large performance, including high linearity for effective proportional control and low hysteresis for highly responsive operation, and a higher static pressure tolerance in its armature space of up to 40 bar. It delivers the advantage of fully proportional, direct-acting gas flow control.
