Using a robust and powerful linear actuator, the high-flow stepper-controlled 2-way pneumatic proportional valve features excellent performance and durability.
Valves
Highly scalable valve manifold offers value, performance
The Festo MPA-L valve manifold offers a mix of value and performance. It is scalable down to a single valve slice, so directional valves can be adapted to any application. This saves costs and reduces size.
Proper design requires knowledge of valve types
Valves used in the medical device industry are designed with precise specifications so they are compatible with the requirements of the applications. Meanwhile, valves used in factory automation are designed to work within specific safety regulations. Every project has unique requirements and choosing the best pneumatic valve design for your application will provide optimum results.
New valve catalog from Humphrey Products
Humphrey Products has released its newest Valve Catalog, HKV-7. The new catalog provides basic decision-making information about our broad range of valve products. Within each of the eight sections, there are pages devoted to valve fundamentals, principles and background information.
Valve manifold has world’s smallest footprint
Festo has announced the development of the high density/small footprint VTOC pilot gas valve manifold. This is the highest density manifoldβwith up to 48 valvesβfor its footprint in the world, because the manifold features two 3/2-way valves on each valve position and valve widths of only 0.393 in.
Pilot-operated check valves
Pneumadyneβs new pilot-operated check valves are suitable for reliably holding an actuator position in a variety of applications. They feature a ΒΌ or 1/8 NPT output port that mounts directly on a cylinder, minimizing space requirements and easing installation.
Double valves for clutch/brake circuits
Double valves, or dual valves, incorporate two valve elements which are independently controlled by two solenoid pilots within one valve body.
Valve driver provides amplification and linearization
Ernie Doering, a design engineer with Clippard Instrument Laboratory, explains the basic operations, as well as a few key features of the EVP proportional valve driver, in this video.
Miniature pneumatics for medical and scientific applications
Clippard Instrument Laboratory provides the scientific/medical industry a variety of products and solutions. The product range is illustrated in a color brochure featuring the most complete line of miniature fluid power products for the medical, pharmaceutical analytical and dental fields.
Valves for leak testing
Perhaps the most important factor in leak testing is the valve used to leak test. If the valve is not reliably leak tight itself, the testing efforts are a waste of time. ROSS’ high-flow, bubble tight Dale Series LT, CX and LX valves and manifolds have patented poppet design and exceptional sealing capabilities.
