The Clippard State Feedback Pinch Valve provides both visual and electronic confirmation of valve activity.

Clippard has developed a State Feedback Pinch Valve designed to provide precise, real-time valve status information for enhanced automation, improved diagnostics, and smarter process control. It verifies valve position both electronically and visually to provide immediate confirmation of valve activity without the need for external sensors or flow meters.

With this capability, Clippard says a standard pinch valve can thus be utilized as a data-ready control component. The ability to capture and use data is an increasingly important aspect in many applications to help improve productivity and efficiency, and as such has become an important capability to include in hydraulic and pneumatic components like Clippard’s State Feedback Pinch Valve.

Features of the State Feedback Pinch Valve include:

  • compact, plug-and-play design eases installation
  • closed-loop capability for intelligent, precise control
  • built-in sensor to detect exactly when the valve plunger moves and outputs a signal to user’s control or data acquisition system
  • output is 0 when the valve is off and 12/24V when open for normally-closed valves
  • logic is reversed for normally-open valves
  • LED indicators to provide clear, color-coded visual diagnostics: green for power, blue for trigger, yellow for feedback, and red for warnings such as overcurrent, overtemperature, or short circuit
  • ability to verify valve performance, detect faults instantly, and meet traceability or regulatory requirements
  • <50 ms response time delivers fast, reliable verification of every cycle
  • operation on 12 or 24V DC and acceptance of 3.3-24V DC trigger inputs, simplifying integration with PLCs and automation systems
  • integration of hit and hold circuit to provide efficient, cool-running operation.

The Clippard State Feedback Pinch Valve is well suited for smart automation, medical and analytical instrumentation, process control systems, and high-cycle OEM applications.
