Proportional directional valves are used in pneumatics and hydraulics to release or block the flow for compressed air or hydraulic fluid or to change the flow direction. They are usually indispensable final control elements in servo-pneumatic positioning systems.
The Festo proportional directional valve MPYE is a controlled piston spool valve that can be actuated in analogue mode. It has a position-controlled spool and can be combined with a position controller and a displacement encoder to create a precise pneumatic positioning system. Thanks to the throttle function for varying the cylinder speed and a 5/3-way function for varying the direction of movement, you can customise the MPYE to suit your needs. This proportional directional valve has flow rates of 100...2000 l/min.
