The Miniature Solenoid Valve is a versatile and space-saving solution for a range of applications, including: pharmaceutical, analytical, and instrumentation, etc. The miniature solenoid valve used for fluid control can be found in a wide array of public services, separation, twisting, proportional valves, and manifold assemblies.
Applications of Miniature Solenoid Valves
These valves are commonly used in the following contexts:
- Environmental controls
- Medical devices
- Pharmaceutical
- Analytical
- Scientific
- Marking/Labeling
- Instrumentation
- Textile industries
- Gas analyzers
- Clinical diagnostic equipment
- Gas chromatography
- Dental equipment
Miniature pilot solenoid valves combine space and weight savings while ensuring superior performance and reliability. The miniature pilot valve is ideal for high-pressure challenging applications requiring complex and advanced technology, such as aerospace, hydraulic systems, fuel, oil exploration or production, and motorsport (Formula One).
The combination of innovative design and advanced technology demonstrates remarkable space, weight, and energy savings in this valve.
The Parker brand has an extensive catalog of high-speed miniature solenoid valves with very low leakage rates, ideal for medical equipment manufacturers.
For example, the Parker X-Valve is an extraordinary miniature two-way and three-position valve. Despite its small size, it can handle flows of up to 10 liters per minute at 30 psig, and its flow rate surpasses that of other miniature solenoid valves in its class. This is due to the coil and body being combined in a single unit with a unique flow design.
As depicted in the image below, the X-Valve is the size of a fingertip!
The ASCO miniature valves are assembled and tested in a cleanroom equivalent to ISO class 8. The engineering team at ASCO can create custom assemblies, in addition to a wide range of miniature solenoid valves, from minor modifications of a catalog product to complete flow control solutions.
