SMC Proportional Valve – 10 bar
The SMC Proportional Valve is designed for precise, continuously variable pressure regulation in pneumatic and gas-control applications. With an output pressure capability of up to 10 bar, the valve can modulate pressure in response to an electrical input signal, providing smooth and accurate control. It is intended for oxygen (O₂) service, subject to confirmation that the exact SMC model is approved and configured for oxygen use. The valve is suitable for systems where stable, repeatable, and remotely controlled pressure adjustment is required.
Key Features
Brand: SMC
Type: Proportional pressure control valve
Maximum output pressure: Up to 10 bar
Medium: Oxygen (O₂), when the selected model is O₂-compatible
Precise and variable pressure control
Smooth response to electrical control signals
Suitable for automated and closed-loop pressure-control systems
Compact pneumatic control solution
Can be integrated with PLCs, controllers, and pressure-feedback systems
Designed for repeatable pressure regulation
Applicability
The valve can be used in oxygen pressure-control systems, laboratory equipment, medical/industrial gas systems, automated pneumatic equipment, testing systems, and process-control applications, provided the specific valve model is certified/specified for oxygen service. It is particularly applicable where the required pressure needs to be adjusted electronically rather than manually.
Compatibility
Gas compatibility: O₂ service must be explicitly confirmed for the exact SMC valve/model and configuration.
Pressure compatibility: System operating pressure should remain within the valve's rated pressure range.
Control compatibility: Can be selected for integration with an appropriate electrical control signal, depending on the specific model.
Piping compatibility: Port size, thread type, tubing, fittings, and seals must match the existing O₂ system.
Material compatibility: All wetted materials, seals, and lubricants must be suitable for oxygen service.
Safety: Oxygen systems require appropriate cleaning and oxygen-compatible components to minimize ignition and contamination risks.
