This sketch shows a Proportion-Air electro-pneumatic pressure regulator controlling the force on a bread bag indexing cylinder. The QB1 maintains just the right amount of force so the bags come off the stack, one at a time. This limits packaging errors and waste.

Force control on cylinders is a great application for Proportion-Air products. Our application engineers ask the right questions to ensure proper flow sizing to meet the load demands of most applications. Since our products constantly sense downstream pressure, they react very quickly to any changes in load to relieve or add pressure (force) to the process.

If faster and more accurate control is required, the Proportion-Air QB2 can accept direct feedback from your load cell. This will allow us to directly control the force in your process without the need for additional PID tuning making it basically a “plug and play” application.
