The VED03M direct-operated four-way proportional-control valves conform to NFPA D03 and ISO 4401 mounting standards. The valves control direction and flow rate based on the current supplied to the solenoid. Valve solenoids can be driven by a variable-current power supply or by external power-amplifier cards designed to maximize the valves’ performance. Manual overrides are also available. Features include 3,000-psi maximum operating pressure; 50-msec ascending and 40-msec descending step response; flow capacities from 1.06 to 7 gpm; <6% hysteresis; and <±1.5% repeatability.Continental Hydraulics, 952.895.6400, www.continentalhyraulics.com
Newcomers to medical device design may think pressure and flow rate are sufficient parameters whenselecting a pump. While this may be true in some industrial applications, medical...
Variable volume pumps, also known as precision dispense pumps, are a positive displacement pump that operates by retracting a piston to aspirate a fluid and then extending the...
Acheck valve, a non-return or one-way valve, is a mechanical device that allows a gas or liquid to flow freely in one direction while preventing reverse flow in the opposite ...
Engineers tasked with managing fluid flow talk about both holes and calibrated orifices, but they are two distinct entities. A hole can be any opening, but a calibrated orifice...
