Helios releases High Capacity, Electro-Proportional Flow Control Valve Solution
Helios Technologies, Inc., a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, introduces cartridge valve model FPJP, a unique industry leading cartridge valve that provides precise proportional control at high flow rates.
Launched by Sun Hydraulics a Helios Technologies operating company, FPJP is part of Sun’s electro-proportional flow control family.
This electro-proportional flow control valve delivers an industry leading flow rate of 114 gpm (431 L/min) and can operate at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Specifically designed for use in the Sun cavity, it incorporates Sun’s floating style construction. This innovative design minimizes the risk of internal parts binding, which can occur due to excessive installation torque or machining inconsistencies — a common issue with industry standard cartridge valves.
“In a market where customers demand higher flow rates and operating pressures, Helios Technologies continues to innovate with high-performing screw-in cartridge valve solutions. The FPJP valve takes full advantage of Sun’s XMD Series valve driver co-developed in partnership with Helios operating company Enovation Controls. The XMD driver can be easily configured via Bluetooth using a mobile device or through Sun’s open PC-based software CANpoint™. Helios continues introducing market leading products and solutions demonstrating the power of our integrated operating company strategy as we leverage our research and development across our businesses,” said Sean Bagan, Interim President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of Helios.
By combining FPJP’s high-capacity flow rates with the versatility of the XMD Series valve driver, a user can create compact solutions which are perfect for a wide array of on- and off-highway equipment. These innovative solutions are ideal for applications in agriculture, construction, earth moving, forestry, marine, and material handling.
