Standard Features

  • Snap-in tube loading for quick change of disposable tube sets. Allows tubing to be installed in the valve without requiring a free end; the middle of the tubing “snaps in” the valve body.
  • Override button allows manual valve actuation for tube loading.
  • Panel or base mounting allows mounting in any position and provides flexibility in meeting your system design requirements.
  • Splash seals guard against spills and debris, prevent contaminants from entering the valve, and allow cleaning without disassembly.

  • Valves calibrated for each application to optimize performance.
  • Strong pinching forces capable of handling a variety of flexible tubing materials.
  • Simple, reliable design with a million* plus cycle life span.
  • No wetted parts (except tubing).
  • Zero dead volume.
  • Smooth and quiet actuation with no heat generation in the actuated state.
 

*Shelf life dependent and varies with application use.

Optional Features

  • Position sensing supplies electronic feedback on a valve's position or state and confirms that a valve is in the state dictated by a control input. Upon review of your application, our engineers can determine which position sensing package best meets your needs.

  • Sensor leads can be terminated to customer specifications.
  • A three-way control valve is required for operation of all pneumatic valves. Can be purchased through Acro or customer supplied.
