Norgren - VR valve islands, modular versatile and lightweight
Valve islands are often used to shorten assembly time and the connection of larger quantities of wires, and to reduce the errors that can occur in the process. Choosing and configuring a desired valve island is often not that easy. With the help of a user-friendly configurator from Norgren, this becomes child's play. The VR series in particular is extremely user-friendly and universally applicable.
Flexibility and modularity are greatly enhanced with the Norgren VR series
Valve islands are a collection of valves with various functions mounted on one base plate with a common electrical control. This way of collecting valves in one place reduces piping, connections and complexity. The VR series has further simplified this with the use of a simple plug-in design. This design combined with integrated pneumatic connectors as well as the modular sub-base makes the connection process easy. Moreover, it is possible to easily retrofit valves for maintenance and any modifications.
Plug and play
After going through the configurator, a unique configuration code follows, allowing Norgren to build the desired valve island with the selected protocol or multipin connection. After a functional test, the valve island, with a piece of din-rail if required, is delivered complete. Once with you, the customer, it is then just "Plug and Play".
Possibilities of the VR series
The VR10 and VR15 feature a ZnDC and ADC housing with an aluminium coil and NBR seals for a robust yet lightweight construction in IP40 or IP65. The VR series has flow ranges that, depending on valve and size, range from 270 l/min to 590 l/min as well as various valve functions that can be selected independently.
The VR series is ideally suited for industrial or mobile applications:
- 24V DC & 12V DC
- Multi-pol
- EtherNet/IP
- PROFINET
- EtherCAT
- CANopen
- IO-Link
"Made to YOUR order"
The high modularity of the VR series means that the valve islands are "Made to order". The configuration is therefore immediately the part number. Norgren's promise is that your VR island will be assembled in 10 Days.

Festo - Proportional pressure control valve VPPIRead moreWith the VPPI proportional pressure control valve, all nominal sizes are controlled directly; without the need for pilot valves or pre-stages. Due to the pressure compensating element, the valve regulates dynamically and accurately; even at the larger nominal sizes. The powerful and low-friction voice coil makes the VPPI highly dynamic. The integrated position controller contributes to high stability.
