Proportional valves

As a driver of innovations in pneumatics with extensive expertise in proportional technology, Festo offers a wide range of proportional valves: proportional-pressure regulators and proportional directional control valves. This will allow you to implement even the most complex of applications easily and reliably. At Festo, you benefit from a huge number of individual solutions and functions that only require minimum effort to mount, parameterise and commission. All proportional valves are generally preset at the factory, while integrated technologies allow you to save time on laborious routine tasks.

Proportional valves for flow control

Proportional flow control valves control the flow for connected pneumatic consumers. In this section, you will also find proportional directional control valves, piezo valves and valve units as well as proportional flow control valves. Find out about the benefits of each Festo valve.

Proportional flow control valves

Proportional flow control valve VEMD

Proportional flow control valve VEMD is ideal for mass flow control and is characterised by compact installation dimensions. Its truly lightweight design makes it ideal for use in mobile devices for controlling the flow rate. The valve operates precisely and dynamically thanks to the integrated control loop with thermal sensor. It reacts very quickly to a setpoint change and is almost immediately ready for operation.

Proportional flow control valve VPCF

Short response time, high repeat accuracy, compact size, free of PWIS and certification for ATEX 3GD are all features that make proportional flow control valve VPCF unique. It is perfect for demanding applications, such as controlling inert gas, air flow rates and speed in painting and continuous flow systems; it also meets stringent requirements for dynamic response, repeat accuracy and linearity of the characteristic curve.

Proportional directional control valve MPYE

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

Proportional directional control valve VPWS

Compact, powerful and lightweight: the proportional solenoid valve VPWS is a compact 15 mm cartridge valve with a high flow rate. It safely and precisely regulates gas flows, whether oxygen, carbon dioxide, air, nitrous oxide or inert gases.

Proportional directional control valve VPWP

Based on the technology of the valve MPYE, the VPWP enables the direction of movement to be changed. Thanks to the integrated interface for digitalised data transfer, the integrated pressure sensors and cascade control, this proportional valve is particularly reliable and extremely precise.
