1. ¿Qué electroválvulas neumáticas puede personalizar VPC?
VPC puede desarrollar soluciones a partir de plataformas de válvulas existentes o evaluar nuevos diseños según los requisitos del proyecto. Entre las configuraciones habituales se incluyen:
- Solenoid valves 2/2 y 3/2 vías
- Electroválvulas neumáticas 5/2 vías
- Pneumatic valves 5/3 vías
- Simple solenoide o doble solenoide
- Monoestables y biestables
- Normalmente abiertas (NO) o normalmente cerradas (NC)
- Direct acting valves
- Válvulas pilotadas
- Válvulas individuales
- Manifolds e islas de válvulas
Estas configuraciones se utilizan principalmente para controlar pneumatic cylinders, actuators, sistemas de manipulación y diferentes procesos de automatización.
2. Voltage and coil customization
One of the most common OEM requirements is to adapt the electrical part of the valve. VPC can offer different options, including:
- 12V DC
- 24V DC
- 110V AC
- 220V AC
- DIN connector
- direct cable
- Custom cable lengths
- Different coil powers
- Protection IP65 or IP67 depending on the project
The 24V DC pneumatic solenoid valve It is especially common in industrial machinery controlled by PLC.
For high frequency applications you can also evaluate the electrical consumption, coil temperature rise y switching speed.
3. Flow and pressure customization
Selecting a valve solely by thread diameter can result in speed problems o pressure losses. Therefore, for OEM projects we also analyze:
- Working pressure
- Required flow
- Cv
- Internal diameter
- Response time
- Operating frequency
- Actuator size
- air consumption
The internal structure and the valve ducts They can be optimized within the limits of each platform. This is especially important in applications with fast cycles, large diameter cylinders, or systems that need a stable response.
4. Threads and connections for different markets
Machinery manufacturers exporting their equipment to different countries may require different connection standards. VPC can offer:
- G
- BSPP
- BSPT
- NPT
- R
For example, the connections NPT are common in Mexico and other American markets, while G/BSP threads are widely used in European and Asian equipment.
We can also evaluate changes in the port orientation and the mounting method.
5. Body material and seals
Las working conditions They determine what materials a valve should use.
Depending on the application we can evaluate bodies manufactured in:
- Aluminum alloy
- Brass
- Stainless steel
And different sealing materials:
- NBR
- FKM
- EPDM
The selection depends on the half, temperature, lubrication, pressure y environmental conditions.
For special gases or media other than compressed air, it is necessary to previously carry out a compatibility evaluation.
6. Individual mounting, manifold or valve island
In addition to individual valves, many OEM manufacturers need to integrate several solenoid valves within a small space. VPC can provide solutions for:
- Direct mount
- Mounting on base
- Pneumatic manifold
- Modular systems
- valve island
- Multiple valve integration
This allows to reduce connections, tubes, installation space and assembly time inside the machine.
7. What type of customization can be done quickly?
The most efficient way to develop an OEM solenoid valve is to use an already proven platform and modify only the necessary elements. Changes such as:
- Voltage
- Coil
- electrical connector
- Cable length
- Single or double solenoid
- NO / NC
- Thread type
- Connections position
- Sealing material
- Body material
- Caudal
- Mounting method
This type of customization reduces time development and facilitates maintaining a stable production.
8. When is it necessary to develop a new valve?
Some projects require a more in-depth engineering evaluation. For example:
- Completely different dimensions
- Pressures outside the standard range
- Very high flow rates
- Extreme operating frequencies
- Special means
- New molds
- Special interfaces
- Specific compatibility with certain bases or manifolds
In these cases, the engineering team must review first drawings, parameters y conditions real operating conditions.
OEM solenoid valve development process
The usual VPC process is:
1. Requirements analysis
Customer provides existing model, drawing or technical parameters.
2. Engineering evaluation
Pressure, flow, voltage, connections, dimensions, frequency and environmental conditions are reviewed.
3. Confirmation of the solution
It is determined whether an existing platform can be modified or if new development is necessary.
4. Sample making
Samples are produced to verify dimensions, installation and operation.
5. Tests
Depending on the project, tests can be carried out on:
- Tightness
- Leaks
- Pressure
- Operation
- Stability
- Electric consumption
- Coil temperature
6. Pilot production
A small batch is made to check the consistency of the process.
7. Serial production
Once the solution is approved, long-term production and supply is established.
For which companies is the VPC OEM service designed?
We mainly work with B2B clients such as:
① Machinery manufacturers
Who need to integrate pneumatic valves into their own equipment.
② Automation companies
Who develop pneumatic systems and need to adapt components to each project.
③ Systems integrators
That require dimensional and electrical compatibility with existing systems.
④ Pneumatic distributors
Who need OEM products, private brands or specific solutions for their market.
⑤ Export equipment manufacturers
That need to adapt connections, voltages or specifications to different countries.
What information do we need to prepare a proposal?
To speed up the selection or development of a pneumatic solenoid valve, we recommend providing:
- Valve type: 2/2, 3/2, 5/2 or 5/3
- Single or double solenoid
- Voltage
- Working pressure
- Required flow
- Connection size
- Thread type
- Half
- Temperature
- Work frequency
- Estimated annual amount
- Drawings or dimensions
- Model currently used
If you want to replace an existing valve, you can also simply send us the original model, photographs and technical sheet. Our team can evaluate the possibility of developing a compatible solution.
