Proportional flow regulator FC-1500

closed-loopfor gasfor liquids

The FC series is designed for regulating the flow volume of liquids and gases. The position of the precision throttle, directly connected to a linear motor, determines the flow rate. This valve is used in industries such as food processing, gas blending, water mixing, and vacuum control. The control electronics allow the setting of the motor via an analog or digital signal, enabling almost continuous adjustment of the flow rate. Thanks to stepper motor technology, a set position can be maintained even when unpowered. Electronic flow regulators and valves can control the flow rate of fluids (liquid and gas) with an electronic signal. The digital water flow regulator is used to regulate liquid flow, while the electronic air flow control valve is typically used to control the speed of cylinders and air motors. When combined with a digital flow meter for closed-loop control, users benefit from digital readings of the flow rate, ensuring precise flow quantities. The digital flow control valve also offers built-in flow governing functionality. In heavy manufacturing industries, the electronic water flow control valve acts as a power-operated device to regulate fluid flow. The automatic water flow control valve provides automated digital measurement of liquid flow quantity. The output flow rate is ideally linearly proportional to the input signal. The needle valve type, driven by a stepper motor-powered linear actuator, is introduced here. KaoLu offers four types of electronic flow control valves, capable of controlling both gas and liquid. All types come with an equivalent control driver and accept analog (0-10V or 4-20mA) or digital RS485 modbus signals. Options include an encoder for stepper motor position feedback, stainless steel body and wetted materials, and customized calibration for torque, speed, and control range. - FC20: Flow rate 65 L/min N2 gas @ 6 bar OR 1.3 L/min water @ 6 bar - FC120: Flow rate 240 L/min N2 gas @ 6 bar OR 5 L/min water @ 6 bar - FC300: Flow rate 500 L/min N2 gas @ 6 bar OR 10 L/min water @ 6 bar - FC1000: Flow rate 560 L/min N2 gas @ 4 bar OR 15 L/min water @ 5 bar - FC1500: Flow rate 2900 L/min N2 gas @ 9 bar OR 50 L/min water @ 9 bar The digital flow controller offers flexibility and can be customized for unique applications. The stepper motor provides high accuracy, resolution, and responsiveness, making it suitable for automation, motion systems, and 3D printers. The stepper motor linear actuator uses a threaded shaft to move a needle valve axially, with thread pitch and step angle determining resolution. Tight thread tolerances are recommended to minimize backlash and dead zones. In the stepper motor-driven electronic flow control valve, the motor controls the distance between the needle and valve seat. Performance parameters such as resolution, accuracy, and repeatability depend on needle position adjustment, while velocity, torque, and operating pressure are determined by the stepper motor's characteristics. KaoLu's electronic flow control valves offer high performance: withstanding 7 bar of perpendicular operating pressure, resolution as high as 20 mL/min of air, repeatability of 0.1% F.S., and 0.1% linearity. This is achieved through precise motor selection, low-tolerance mechanical parts, fine-thread needles, and a custom control system. When purchasing an electronic flow control valve, consider three main factors (CPR): 1. Compatibility: Medium, flow range, compatibility with valve material, and operating pressure 2. Performance: Resolution, starting flow point, and linearity 3. Control system: Type of control system, external driver, and remote operation capability (RS485 modbus for long-distance control) It is important to ensure the media used falls within the valve's flow range, is compatible with wetted materials, and meets operating pressure requirements. Applications requiring fine control, such as laser cutting, benefit from high resolution and precise control logic. The control system should match the application's needs, with options for remote operation.
