Ceram ISO 5599-1 pneumatic directional-control valves have sliding ceramic plates (instead of rubber seals) that form a tight seal, making the valve tolerant of dirty air and harsh conditions. The near-diamond hard plates wipe themselves clean of ingested dirt that damages conventional valves. The Ceram has a life expectancy of 150 million cycles and won’t stick like many spool valves.
In a departure from conventional wisdom, motion control can be implemented to increase production rate and product quality and consistency—all at the same time.
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...
