Pinch Valve
A pinch valve controls the flow of media through flexible tubing. As the name implies, pinch valves operate on the principle that pinching opposite walls of tubing together creates a blockage past which that media cannot flow. Since there is no
contact between the media and components of the valve, pinch valves are ideal for applications where sterility or purity is essential, or where the media is difficult to handle.
Pinching functionality is achieved by integrating an actuator and a pinching mechanism into a single unit. The pinching mechanism captures the tubing and provides a fixed pinching surface; the actuator generates forces that act on a
sliding plunger to pinch the tubing. A spring typically supplies the force in one direction, while the actuator produces an opposing force.
