Key Benefits

  • Fast actuation time: ability to change states rapidly (fast response time). Typically, to translate fully in either direction, approximately 30 ms is required.

  • Reliability and long life: simple, elegant designs that remain flexible for calibration and customization.

Functionality

  • Designed to work with flexible tubing, where easy replacement of the entire fluid path is required.
  • Use a current passing through a solenoid to induce a magnetic field, which then supplies force to a magnetic plunger.
  • Pinching functionality is achieved by integrating an actuator and a pinching mechanism into a single unit.

  • A spring typically supplies the force required to pinch the tubing, stopping media flow.
  • The pinching mechanism captures the tubing and provides a fixed pinching surface; the solenoid actuator generates a linear force that overcomes the pinching spring to allow media flow through the tubing.
