Pneumatic Pinch Valves Print this page

Pneumatic Pinch Valve Models
Our robustly designed pneumatic pinch valves are ideal for industrial dispensing, bulk fluid transfer, vacuum operations or other applications requiring extended duty cycles and high pinching forces.

Key Benefits

  • Reliability and long life: simple, elegant designs show minimal friction and wear because all moving parts are lubricated. Life cycle tests in excess of 3 million* cycles resulted in negligible wear on O-rings and bearing surfaces.
  • Smooth, quiet actuation: dynamic contact surfaces consist of lubricated O-rings and a lubricated cylinder with 32 MI surface finish or better.

  • Minimal heat generation in the actuated state, even at cycle rates as high as 3 cycles/sec: makes pneumatic valves particularly useful in applications requiring extended duty cycles.

 

*Shelf life dependent and varies with application use.

Functionality

  • Suitable for pressure or vacuum services.
  • Provide reliable flow control where compressed gas is available.

  • Designed to work with flexible tubing, where easy replacement of the entire fluid path is required.
  • Provide higher pinching forces and more extended duty cycles than solenoid valves (but slower actuation times).
