VT-VPCD-1-15/V0/1-P-1
Main Functional Description
The REXROTH VT-VPCD-1-15/V0/1-P-1 operates as a servo-proportional valve. An external or integrated amplifier (often specified by the “/V0/1” suffix) receives a command signal from the machine controller. This amplifier drives the proportional solenoids, which generate a force proportional to the input current. This force moves the main spool against a spring centering force. The spool’s displacement from its neutral center position opens metering orifices, allowing hydraulic flow from the pressure port (P) to either work port (A or B), with the return flow going to the tank port (T). The spool’s position is continuously measured by an integrated LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) and fed back to the amplifier, which adjusts the solenoid current to correct any error between the commanded and actual spool position. This closed-loop control ensures precise, repeatable spool positioning independent of load pressure variations, fluid viscosity changes, or friction effects, resulting in highly accurate and stable control of the connected actuator.Application FieldsThe REXROTH VT-VPCD-1-15/V0/1-P-1 is deployed in a wide range of industrial applications requiring precise and dynamic hydraulic motion control. Its primary use is in injection molding machines for controlling the movement of the injection unit, ejectors, and mold clamping cylinders. It is equally critical in presses and metal forming machinery for controlling press slides, cushions, and automation axes with high accuracy.The valve is also extensively used in test and simulation rigs (e.g., material testing, fatigue testing) for precise load and position control. In general industrial automation, it controls manipulators, lifting columns, and rotary actuators. Furthermore, it finds application in special machinery like rolling mills, slitters, and winding equipment. Essentially, it is specified for any hydraulic system where smooth, programmable, and high-performance control of velocity, force, or position is required.Related Products
