Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 17, 2009

Eaton Corporation has announced that three ranges of Vickers directional proportional valves with on-board electronics have been upgraded with a 4-20mA control command option.

This control command option is an additional feature to the voltage command already available on these valves.

The 4-20mA command option on KBSDG-3/5, KBFDG-3/5 and KBHDG-5/7/8/10/11 design series directional proportional valves is designed to maintain the integrity of the command signal over lengthy cable and improve noise immunity.

'The 11 design series supersedes the existing 10 design series,' said Colin Cooper, product manager Industrial Controls, EMEA.

'The valves are completely backward compatible, electrically, hydraulically and mechanically.

'They will be shipped with optimised adjustments that will provide consistent flow gain and excellent reproducibility valve to valve,' he added.

These Vickers valves are used in heavy-duty applications including primary metals production, die-casting and foundry equipment, civil engineering, marine and offshore equipment, petrochemical, power generation and wood processing.
