Festo proportional pressure regulators
Precise pneumatic pressure, controlled from the PLC.
Coast Pneumatics helps you select Festo VPPM and VPPE regulators for repeatable pressure, force, and test profiles across automated pneumatic equipment.
Use this when manual regulators slow the machine down
Electronic pressure setpoints help operators change recipes, ramp pressure, and
hold force without hand-adjusting every station.

Choose the regulator around the pressure job.
Start with the control requirement: tuning flexibility, protection level, local setup, and how much pressure behavior must be repeatable from cycle to cycle.
Application matchmaker
What pressure behavior do you need?
Proportional regulators are strongest when compressed air is doing a measurable job: creating force, holding a profile, or changing pressure by recipe.

Buyer guidance
Manual regulator vs. proportional pressure control.
Stable pressure, rarely adjusted.
Best when a technician can set pressure once and the process does not need recipe changes.
Pressure changes by cycle or recipe.
Best when the PLC needs to command pressure, ramp force, or repeat a setpoint automatically.
The valve is only part of the circuit.
Coast can help check flow, fittings, sensors, tubing, and how the regulator will be mounted.
How it works
From electronic setpoint to controlled air pressure.
Receive the signal
The machine controller sends an electronic command for the target outlet pressure.
Regulate the pressure
The proportional valve adjusts supply and exhaust to hit the requested pressure level.
Repeat the result
The machine gets consistent clamping, testing, tensioning, or process pressure.
