  • Cincinnati, Ohio -- Precise, linear pressure control within a closed-loop system with ultra high resolution and repeatability.

    Known for reliability, innovation and focus on miniature pneumatics, Clippard’s new revolutionary micro-controllers utilize the proven EVP and DVP lines of Clippard proportional valves allowing for steady, repeatable downstream pressure as demand or processes change. The result, a precise linear pressure control within a closed-loop system with ultra high resolution (≤5 mV) and repeatability.

    With unparalleled performance and flexibility not possible with current analog proportional controllers, the Cordis makes everything from calibration to sensor variety acceptance to future development opportunities more accessible and less complicated. The future of proportional control has arrived, and it’s digital.

    •    Smooth linear control

    •    Integrated internal or external sensor feedback

    •    Multiple flow configurations

    •    Static or dynamic applications with the same proportional control

    •    Proportional fill and bleed control

  • Cincinnati, Ohio – The Clippard NIV Series Media Isolation Valve is a solenoid-operated device that uses a flexible diaphragm to isolate the actuation mechanism from the fluid path. Media isolation valves are commonly used for a wide variety of applications, including those that require precise, repeatable dispensing of media for analytical instrumentation.

    All wetted areas of the valve are PTFE, making this series ideal for use with corrosive media. A unique feature of the NIV Series is the one-piece valve stem that functions as a sealing membrane while also supporting and centralizing the poppet in the seating area. This multi-functional poppet/diaphragm/stem results in a simplified design with fewer parts (only two for the 2-Way and three for the 3-Way), longer life and zero dead volume. Choose from four orifice sizes available as 2-Way Normally-Closed, 2-Way Normally-Open, or 3-Way Selector/Diverter.

    Industries and applications that commonly use these types of valves to isolate gas or liquid include: drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, analytical, chemical analysis, sampling, life science/biotech, genetic research, gas chromatography, spectrometry, DNA synthesizing, blood analyzing, printing, diagnostic equipment, fermentation, water treatment and more.

    • Low power consumption

    • Compact, lightweight design

    • Bidirectional

    • Zero dead volume

    • All wetted areas PTFE

    • Ideal for use with corrosive media

    • High cycle life

    • Fast response time

    • CE, RoHS Compliant

    • Proudly made in the U.S.A.

    • ISO 9001

  • Cincinnati, Ohio – The Clippard NPV Series Miniature Pinch Valves are solenoid-operated devicec that is designed to open and close tubes for controlling flow of liquids and gases. Other valve types have internal passages that may cause small amounts of fluid to remain in the valve. Pinch valves have no areas or dead volume where fluid can become trapped. Only the inside of the tubing contacts the fluid. Energizing the solenoid retracts or attracts the plunger, which opens or closes the tube. De-energizing the solenoid will allow the plunger to return to its original state.

    Common industries that use pinch valves for the benefits of isolating fluid from a mechanical valve include: drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, waste water, medical devices, chemical, food and beverage equipment, ceramic/glass/plastic, and bulk and solids handling.

    •    Four sizes with multiple pressure range options to 30 psig

    •    Small, compact design

    •    Hygienic and easy to clean (replace tubes)

    •    Low power consumption

    •    High cycle life

    •    Can handle whole blood and particulate matter

    •    Unobstructed flow path

    •    Each valve comes with 12” of medical/laboratory grade silicone tubing, pre-installed

    •    Variety of tubing sizes available

    •    Tubing is easily replaceable

  • Cincinnati, Ohio--NIV series gradient valves feature multiple 2-Way, Normally-Closed solenoids connected around a central body. This unique design provides significant reduction in internal volume with enhanced mixing capabilities. Each actuator operates independently, allowing for flow of various media to be mixed or for one media to be split into multiple streams. These multi-channel gradient valves are useful for solvent selection, stream splitting, flushing and other automated applications.

    Common industries that use these valves for the benefits of isolating fluid from a mechanical valve include: drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, waste water, medical devices, chemical, food and beverage equipment, ceramic/glass/plastic, and bulk and solids handling.

    •    Individually controlled flow paths

    •    Bidirectional

    •    Low power consumption

    •    Compact, lightweight design

    •    Minimal dead volume

    •    All wetted areas PTFE

    •    Compatible with corrosive and aggressive fluids

    •    Equal pressure drop, response time and internal volumes

    •    High cycle life and fast response time

    •    Proudly made in the USA

  • Cincinnati, Ohio – Clippard’s DVP series proportional solenoid valves are precision-built 2-way control valves, utilizing a unique, patented valving principle. This powerful series was designed as the next generation of the well-known and trusted original EV line of Clippard “Mouse” valves. With a life of over a billion cycles, a solid, compact design, and extremely high flow rates, these valves are suitable for many applications across numerous industries.

    The DVP series valve provides air or gas flow control, and varies the output flow based on the current input to the solenoid. The consistent gain of this valve provides a high degree of control. Controllability and overall value are the main features of the DVP series. The valve may be controlled using DC current, open or closed-loop control, and even PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to cover a large range of applications.

    • Industry standard for leak-free operation

    • Over 1,000,000,000 cycles

    • Extremely low hysteresis

    • Fast response time

    • Large flows in small, sleek design

    • Low heat rise/low power

    • Robust stainless steel “Spider” flat armature spring
