VT 2013 S 15
The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT 2013 S 15 proportional amplifier from the VT 2000 Proportional Amplifiers series delivers precise control in feedback-controlled hydraulic systems through a robust 24 V DC input and a power rating of 50 W. This versatile device combines compact sizing with industrial-grade reliability, providing smooth and accurate linear actuation in demanding automation environments. Its aluminum housing protects sensitive electronics from mechanical stresses while maintaining a low mass that simplifies mounting and integration. Designed to operate within a broad ambient envelope, the unit supports storage temperatures as low as –25 °C and as high as +85 °C, ensuring readiness even after exposure to extreme climate cycles. Reverse polarity safety is built in via reverse polarity protection for voltage supply, preventing damage from incorrect wiring or voltage surges.
Detailed technical parameters define the VT 2013 S 15’s performance envelope: the overall dimensions of 10 x 15 x 20 cm (length: 10 cm, width: 15 cm, height: 20 cm) enable installation in tight control cabinets. The housing material: aluminum alloy offers corrosion resistance and structural integrity under vibration. Electrical characteristics include a nominal voltage of 24 V DC and a steady power rating of 50 W output. Safety features encompass both reverse polarity protection and an IP65 protection class, shielding internal circuitry from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The device functions as a linear actuator within hydraulic loops, converting electrical signals into proportional fluid flow. Its storage temperature range of –25 to +85 °C and resistance to environmental factors ensure operational readiness after prolonged downtime or transport through variable climate zones.
Operational features of the VT 2013 S 15 emphasize precise valve positioning and rapid response to control commands. The unit’s proportional output ensures minimal overshoot and steady-state error, supporting stable hydraulic pressure modulation. With an IP65 rating, the amplifier resists dust penetration and water jets from any direction, permitting washdown processes and operation in high-humidity areas. The robust aluminum enclosure also provides electromagnetic shielding, reducing susceptibility to external interference. Reverse polarity safety circuitry prevents irreversible damage during installation and maintenance, thereby reducing system downtime and service costs.
Integration of the VT 2013 S 15 into hydraulic control architectures is streamlined through standard mounting dimensions and common electrical connections. The amplifier interfaces directly with Bosch Rexroth directional control valves and proportional valves, enabling closed-loop automation in mobile machinery, packaging equipment, and industrial presses. Its compact footprint and versatile protection features make it a prime choice for OEMs developing systems for construction, material handling, and process industries. The combination of precise actuation, environmental resilience, and built-in safety safeguards positions the VT 2013 S 15 as a core component in modern industrial automation platforms.
