Proportional directional valves are used in pneumatics and hydraulics to release or block the path for compressed air or hydraulic fluid or to change the flow direction. They are final control elements in servopneumatic positioning systems and are usually indispensable.
The Festo proportional directional control valve MPYE is a controlled piston spool valve with analogue control. It has a position-controlled slide and can be set up in conjunction with a position controller and a displacement encoder to form a precise pneumatic positioning system. Thanks to the throttle function to vary the cylinder speed and a 5/3-way function to vary the direction of movement, you can customize MPYE to suit your needs. Flow rates of 100...2000 L/min are possible with this proportional directional control valve.
