The Benefits of Electro-Pneumatic Control for Pressure ...

Advantages of Electro-Pneumatic Control in Pressure Management

According to Lister, electrical and hydraulic systems are major competitors to electro-pneumatic control. While certain applications may benefit more from electric or hydraulic solutions, electro-pneumatic control offers the ideal solution for a multitude of scenarios.

Historically, electrical control systems provided higher positioning precision. However, Proportion-Air's two-loop QB2X pressure regulator has advanced to deliver comparable, if not superior, control compared to electrical systems.

The QB2X enables direct integration of a position sensor with an air cylinder. This setup allows for precise position control without needing an additional PLC, enhancing overall efficiency.

Enhanced Control with Two-Loop Technology

Using the second loop technology in the QB2X, you can manage variables like speed or torque. "If a suitable sensor is available, it can be connected to the QB2X," Lister emphasized.

Hydraulic control traditionally targets applications requiring extreme force, often reaching tens of thousands of psi. However, Proportion-Air's electro-pneumatic components, including the QBX pressure regulator, can also manage higher pressures. The GX unit, for instance, can reach up to 1,000 psi.

Handling Higher Pressure Needs

For higher pressure demands, ratio regulators paired with the QBX can increase controlled pressure levels. "We've managed pressures up to 7,500 psi," Lister noted, adding that the potential extends slightly beyond 20,000 psi, although such applications are rare.

Applications Suited for Electro-Pneumatic Pressure Regulators

Electro-pneumatic pressure regulators, like Proportion-Air’s QBX, are versatile in controlling various process variables. "Their applications span a wide range," Lister explained.

Commonly used in automation, these regulators have proven beneficial in the manufacturing of semiconductors, medical devices, and automotive parts. For instance, they are essential in controlling steam temperature for tire curing, ensuring safety and high quality.
