Emerson is introducing its newly redesigned ASCO™ Series 353 Pulse Valve, designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users achieve a more effective, efficient and convenient bag cleaning every time. With a higher peak pressure, wider temperature range, patented quick mount clamp connection and overall part simplification, the new series provides longer bag and…

The new Festo remote I/O system CPX-AP-I, which improves the performance of mixed valve terminals and I/O systems, is compatible with most communication protocols — including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. These rugged, compact, and lightweight modules can be mounted directly on machines in IP65/IP67 rated environments. CPX-AP-I recently received a 2019 Reddot award for product…

Known for reliability, innovation and focus on miniature pneumatics, Clippard’s new revolutionary micro-controllers use 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…

Spartan Scientific recently introduced its high-flow Series 3516, a two-way, internal-pilot operated solenoid valve. The compact-size and low-lead brass body is compatible with transferring inert gases, water and compatible fluids at higher volumes and pressures than other valves in its class. Its 35-gpm flow rate can be used for a wide range of applications including…

This family of potable water components (valves, regulators, fittings, tubing and hoses) includes potable water solenoid valves. These NS-Series NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified valves (from GC Valves) are an excellent choice for food and beverage grade potable water applications.

LB Bentley is a specialist in creating small bore valves for subsea applications. Since it introduced the now standard subsea rotary gate valve into the market in 1998, the gate valve has gained universal acceptance throughout the industry. This component is now used globally with many customers preferring this design over traditional needle, ball and…

If you manage or design safety-related equipment
for nuclear power plants, your solenoid valves may be approaching their qualified life limit. Qualified life is primarily driven by material degradation caused
by radiation, thermal and environmental exposures. One way to obtain a longer qualified life is to select solenoid valves with a new and improved thermal design for…

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…

Mechanical stress on plastic piping systems is one of the leading causes of premature leaks. Typical pipe clamp products often create unintended fixed points throughout piping systems that permanently lock in stress. To address this challenge, GF Piping Systems (GF) has introduced a new pipe guide and valve support system specifically designed toeliminate stress transfer to plastic pipe…

Spartan Scientific is offering its series 4290 direct-acting stackable solenoid valve that eliminates the need to machine and inventory multiple manifolds.
