AxisPro Proportional Valves
Built on the proven KB Servo Proportional Valve technology, Danfoss next generation AxisPro proportional valve provides multiple levels of performance to meet the demands of a wide range of applications. These four-way solenoid operated proportional valves offer high dynamic performance which enables them to be used in closed-loop applications previously only possible using conventional servo valves.
Features and benefits
- Unique 3-level modular design is flexible and supports multiple architectures
- Reliable solution that is designed to eliminate air bleeding; features a best in class ambient temperature rating of 85°C.
- Includes embedded pressure and temperature sensors making it easy to diagnose problems
- Available with field bus communication Independent, on-board axis controller for improved flow ratings over the KB Series gives you the highest performance for proportional valves
- Reliable, on-time delivery with shorter lead times
For precise hydraulic power management, count on total control. Danfoss AxisPro® proportional valves deliver exactly the right power exactly where you need it — saving time, energy and costs.
Three levels of performance. Unlimited design flexibility.
Level 1 Level 1 is ideal for traditional applications of servo performance proportional valves. It is less expensive than a servo valve, but comes with onboard electronics so you don’t need a control card. Benefits • Flexible control • Less inventory to stock • Reduces maintenance costs and downtime • Easy control diagnostics Features • Software configurable • Higher flow and pressure rating • IP65 & 67 rating • Ambient temp up to 85°C/185°F • No air bleeding • Visual diagnostic LEDs KBS*-03 | Level 2 Simplify PLC requirements with onboard motion control. Eliminate latency by closing the control loop on the valve to increase dynamic performance. Benefits • Reduced machine setup time • Better control performance • Machine scalability • Comprehensive diagnostic data available via field bus • Differentiated machine performance through customization Features • Digital bus communication • Onboard axis controller provides position, speed, pressure and multi-mode control • Sensor input for axis control and machine monitoring • Open architecture allows for custom applications KBS*-03 | Level 3 Additional built-in pressure and temperature sensors make commissioning faster and simpler. Benefits • Flexible control strategy using built-in sensors • More diagnostic data available from sensors to provide information about machine health and performance Features • Embedded A, B, P & T pressure sensors on all four ports •Temperature sensors on tank port KBS*-03 |
From plastics molding, metal forming and primary metals manufacturing to pulp and paper milling, woodworking machinery and wind turbines, AxisPro proportional valves deliver the precise levels of control you need for your most demanding and sophisticated applications. By integrating controller functions into the valve itself, AxisPro valves maximize machine performance and minimize the possibility of unscheduled maintenance.
Available with both centralized and distributed control capabilities, AxisPro valves are designed for complete application flexibility. You can configure them to optimize valve availability and inventory levels. And the open architecture enables you to custom design a wide range of motion control solutions to meet your specific application needs.
Reducing costs while increasing productivity and uptime
AxisPro proportional valves are another significant advancement in Danfoss-enabled lean automation:
• With motion control built in, AxisPro valves easily integrate into distributed controls architecture to help cut wiring costs and reduce machine build time.
• Fast, onboard motion control integrated with a cost-effective, networked control system boosts machine cycle time.
• Intelligent onboard diagnostics help predict potential maintenance issues, improving reliability and uptime.
• Leveraging the communications capability of a CANopen bus network, AxisPro valves cut the costs and space required for mounting external sensor communication nodes.
AxisPro valves are available in five body sizes to accommodate flows of up to 375 LPM.
