What is a proportional valve?

As a key component in the modern industrial field, proportional valves are playing an increasingly important role. But what exactly is a proportional valve?

A proportional valve is a control valve that can continuously and proportionally control the flow, pressure and direction in a hydraulic system or pneumatic system according to the size of the input electrical signal.

In industrial automation production, the accuracy and response speed of proportional valves are crucial. It can achieve precise control of the movement speed and position of the actuator to meet the requirements of various complex processes.

For example, in the hydraulic system of a CNC machine tool, a proportional valve can accurately control the feed speed of the tool to ensure machining accuracy.

In the field of automobile manufacturing, proportional valves are used to adjust the pressure of the brake system to ensure stable and reliable braking performance of the vehicle.

In plastic molding machinery, proportional valves can accurately control the pressure and flow during injection molding and extrusion to improve product quality.

In short, proportional valves play an indispensable role in many industrial fields with their excellent control performance, and play an important role in improving production efficiency and product quality.
