In this study, the determination of cracking pressure ratio which is
important in pneumatic proportional directional control valves was discussed.
MPYE-5 series proportional directional control valve, widely used in precision
pneumatic control applications, was examined at different valve control signals and
supply pressures, and the cracking pressure ratio parameter was mapped
depending on these two different operating conditions. In order to quickly determine
cracking pressure ratio, the valve parameter determination methods mentioned in
previous studies were automated and the cracking pressure ratio value was
determined quickly. As a result of the study, it has been suggested that the valve
has quite different cracking pressure ratio values in small valve openings (close to
the middle position) and this variability should be taken into account in precision
control applications. In addition, it has been concluded that the supply pressure
also affects the cracking pressure ratio value. The results obtained have been
presented graphically and these results have been intended to be a reference for
future pneumatic precision control applications.
