Table: Coil outer surface temperature range Model Coil outer surface temperature 1 9 C or less C or less Ambient temperature: 5 C at the valve proximal section (approx. 1 mm) when the maximum current is applied Coil Core Spring Armature Working Principle The armature is attracted to the core by electromagnetic force as the coil is energized. When the applied current varies, the attraction force also varies proportionally to it. The flow rate is controlled by the movement (stroke) of the armature, depending on the balance between this attraction force and the spring load. Stroke Note) Sliding resistance at this point is the hysteresis of the flow.

Series Model Selection <To use orifice ø1. (See : Chart 1)> Condition 1. P1 =.7 Mpa, P2 = MPa (Atmospheric pressure) Refer to curve A when P is.7 MPa. Ex) At increasing current, the flow rate when 1 ma current is applied is 85 L/min. (See q.) If current decreases at this point, the flow rate may not change by 15 ma due to hysteresis. (See w.) The flow rate at increasing current and decreasing current are not the same due to hysteresis. (q 85 L/min., e 9 L/min.) Condition 2. P1 =.7 MPa, P2 =.2 MPa Refer to curve B when P is.5 MPa. Ex) At increasing current, the flow rate when 15 ma current is applied is 5 L/min. (See r.) If the outlet pressure P2 increases by.15 MPa, P decreases by.15 MPa and becomes.5 MPa (See curve C), and the flow rate when the same current is applied is L/min. (See t.) The flow rate decreases due to change (increase) in outlet pressure, even if the inlet pressure and current value are the same. Condition. In a vacuum P = (P1 P2) MPa P : Pressure differential P1 : Inlet pressure P2 : Outlet pressure For vacuum specifications, the operating pressure range is from.1 Pa abs to max. operating pressure differential.

Series Glossary Proportional control Control the fluid proportionally according to input signal (current). Max. operating pressure differential Indicates max. pressure differential (difference between inlet and outlet pressure) which is allowed for operation with the valve closed or open. Max. operating pressure This indicates the limit of pressure that can be applied to the inlet. (The pressure differential of the proportional valve must be no more than the maximum operating pressure differential.) Orifice diameter Diameter of the hole for sealing the valve body of the proportional valve. This does not indicate the effective cross section. Hysteresis Greatest flow rate difference between current increase and current decrease (with the same current). (Percentage divided by max. flow rate) Repeatability Deviation of output flow rate when the same current is applied. (Percentage divided by max. flow rate) Start-up current Current at which the flow rate is actually output while increasing current from zero. (Percentage divided by rated current) 98

Series Specific Product Precautions Be sure to read this before handling the products. Refer to back page 5 for Safety Instructions. Caution Power Source Selection This product makes proportional control possible with constant current. If controlled with voltage, the output flow rate cannot be kept constant due to current fluctuation. Use stable DC power source of sufficient capacity without much ripple. Caution Handling 1. This product is adjusted to the respective specifications at SMC factory before delivery. Do not disassemble the product or remove parts as it could cause breakdown of the product. 2. Flow rate is controlled by balancing the valve body. Do not expose the product to external vibration and impact as it changes the flow rate. Vibration may occur depending on the piping conditions or control methods. Caution Pressure Difference Leakage from the valve may be caused if the pressure difference is larger than the maximum operating pressure differential of the respective models. Caution Flow Rate Flow rate varies depending on model differences and piping conditions. Select the model that fully satisfies the necessary flow rate based on the flow rate characteristics graphs. Caution Operation in Vacuum When the product is used in vacuum, apply vacuum pressure to A (2) port. The pressure at P(1) port should be larger than the pressure at A(2) port. Caution Valve Mounting When mounting a valve to the sub-plate, tighten the screw securely with the tightening torque shown in the table below after checking the installation condition of the O-ring on the interface side. Proper Tightening Torque (N m) 1 (Base mounted) (Base mounted).15 to.22.8 to 1. Warning Continuous Energization 1. Ambient temperature and outer surface temperature When the valve is continuously energized (when applying maximum current) and the ambient temperature is kept at 5 C due to the convection of the air around the valve, the coil outer surface reaches approximately 9 C for the 1 series and C for the series. The valve proximal section (approx. 1 mm) reaches approximately C for the 1 series and 7 C for the series. When the valve is mounted inside the enclosed control panel (in a state without convection of air), however, the above temperature may be exceeded due to the rise in coil temperature or the influence of other equipment. Take measures to release the heat, for example, to create a convection of the air around the valve or provide an air vent. 2. Do not touch the valve directly with hands. The coil can be hot depending on the ambient temperature or energizing time. Install a protective cover over the valve if it can be touched directly with hands. AR25 to 95 V H X AP 987
