Electro-Pneumatic Pressure Regulator has compact design..
Press Release Summary:
Measuring 3 x 2.4 x 1.2 in., ED02 is constructed with 2 directly controlled 2/2-way proportional valves. It offers 3.5 scfm air flow and provides exact, microprocessor-controlled regulation. Featuring repetitive precision of 0.44 psi and hysteresis of 0.73 psi, pressure regulators can be linked to each other in groups of up to 4 without base plate. Series consumes 300 mA max and is available with IP65 protection. Compressed air supply, possible from both sides, promotes flexible use.
Original Press Release:
SEMICON WEST 2007: New Compact Electro-Pneumatic Pressure Regulator from Rexroth
(LEXINGTON, KY - www.boschrexroth-us.com) High dynamics with small dimensions is now possible with ED02 pressure regulators. Featuring compact dimensions of only 3" x 2.4" x 1.2" (76x60x30 mm), the new pressure regulator is applicable to almost all sectors, including the automotive, printing and paper technology, and food industries. Thanks to a construction with two directly-controlled 2/2-way proportional valves, a dynamic is attained with an air flow of 3.5 SCFM (100 l/min) that is only possible with larger nominal widths in other units.
Exact regulation controlled by a microprocessor is an additional feature of the new pressure regulator. Here, the ED02 provides repetitive precision of 0.44 psi (30 mbar) and excellent values with a hysteresis of 0.73 psi (50 mbar).
Four ED02 series pressure regulators can be linked to each other without a base plate. Compressed air supply is possible from both sides, permitting extremely flexible use in a system. The supply voltage, analog set point and actual value are electrically connected via a central M12 plug. The unit is universally applicable in spite of a low power consumption of 300 mA maximum: from simple remote pressure adjustment to complex control. Additionally, the ED02 is available with the IP65 (NEMA 4) protection class, i.e. dust-tight and jet-proof.
Rexroth's ED02 joins the ranks of a series of EP pressure regulators, including the ED05 with 35 SCFM (1000 l/min) flow, the ED07 with up to 46 SCFM (1300 l/min) and the ED12 with flows of 92 SCFM (2600 l/min), making it easier to find the right valve for every application.
