AutomationDirect has added the CITO StackFlow series of modular process valves. This system of high-flow, robust components can stack together to form a valve bank assembly. Each module includes common inlets at each end and an outlet discharge at the bottom. Manual and solenoid valves are available, as well as distribution blocks that can all be…

Tough industrial environments require high-resolution flow control valves to control the flow of compressed air, gases, and liquids. The Proportion-Air FCV flow control valve performs this by precise closed-loop proportional pneumatic control of the position of a valve off the seat. This angle seat valve, with special seat geometry, results in a linear relationship between…

Emerson has launched its AVENTICSTM Series XV pneumatic valves. These valves are designed with interoperability in mind to provide machine builders across multiple industries and factory automation applications with a flexible and cost-effective valve platform. The new valves are ideal for machine builders and end users who operate globally, with universal threads and other features…

The E2S series valve combines the versatility of Clippard’s compact 10 mm valve line with the advantages of media isolation. With a durable, glass-filled nylon body and an EPDM diaphragm that separates the actuation mechanism from the flow path, the E2S series is an excellent choice for dispensing a wide range of aggressive gases and…

Emerson has introduced the new AVENTICS Series 625 Sentronic Proportional Pressure Control Valves. With a control deviation of less than 0.5%, the new valves are designed to deliver highly accurate, electronic proportional pressure control and provide the flexibility needed to support sophisticated pneumatic control engineering applications.
