Micro Regulator Electronic Proportional – Series K8P

In advanced industrial applications, precision and speed are key to ensuring performance and efficiency. The Series K8P Micro Regulator stands out as a compact, electronic proportional pressure regulator designed for high-performance control in pneumatic systems.

Engineered for Accuracy and Efficiency

Derived from the trusted Series K8 mini-solenoid valves, the K8P offers superior control with minimal energy usage. It precisely regulates outlet pressure using two monostable valves and an internal pressure sensor, delivering stable and responsive operation.

What sets the Series K8P apart is its self-regulating control algorithm, which adjusts automatically to varying downstream volumes. This makes it ideal for systems requiring consistent pressure levels despite changes in operating conditions.

Key Features:

• High precision: Ensures accurate pressure control with ≤ ±1% full-scale linearity.
• Fast response times: Critical for dynamic applications where timing matters.
• Low power consumption: Operates at just ~1 W with 24 V supply.
• Self-regulation function: Integrated auto-adjusting feedback loop for optimal performance.
• Compact design: Ideal for space-constrained installations.
• Oxygen compatibility: Safe for use with oxygen and other inert gases.

Technical Overview:

• Fluids: Filtered compressed air (ISO 8573-1 Class 7.4.4), oxygen, inert gases (argon, nitrogen)
• Pressure ranges:
• 0.5–10 bar
• 0.15–3 bar
• 0.35–7 bar
• 0.05–1 bar
• Max inlet pressure: Up to 11 bar depending on configuration
• Analog input: 0–10 V DC or 4–20 mA
• Feedback output: 0.5–9.5 V
• Flow capacity: Up to 12 l/min (depending on pressure range)
• Function: 3/2 Normally Closed
• Environmental protection:
• IP65 (with standard base)
• IP51 (with light sub-base)

With an M8 4-pin electrical connection, robust protection class, and conformity with EU Directive 2004/108/EC, the Series K8P is built for reliability and compliance in modern automation environments.

Ideal Applications:

• Precision pneumatic circuits
• Laboratory automation
• Medical and analytical devices
• Process control systems
• Oxygen and inert gas regulation

The Series K8P Micro Proportional Regulator brings together compact design, high responsiveness, and intelligent self-regulation to meet the demands of today’s industrial and medical applications. Whether you're optimizing a production line or ensuring precision in a lab setup, the K8P delivers consistent performance you can trust.
