MPYE proportional directional control valve

The MPYE proportional directional valve is a 5/3-way proportional valve and has a position-controlled spool. This converts an analog input signal into a corresponding opening cross-section at the valve outputs. In combination with an external position controller and displacement encoder, this can be used to create a precise pneumatic positioning system.
