Diaphragm Ceramic Invented and patented by Clippard, this deceptively simple design features only one moving part with a mere 0.007" of travel. The spider is an armature spring that undergoes a variety of proprietary processes, including the individual calibration of each spider to its valve. Clippard's experience, quality, and specialized processes surrounding spider technology have led EV valves to become the industry standard for valve life, reliability, response, and extremely low leak rates. Diaphragm valves provide media isolation characteristics to handle a variety of applications where...

For more information, visit: clippard.com/link/technology Manual needle valves provide simple proportional flow control. Clippard’s SCPV series blends the linear and robust flow characteristics of needle valves with a stepper motor, delivering outstanding controllability for proportional applications. By only using power on a position or state change, this technology provides power savings and allows engineers to maintain a specific flow rate or orifice opening while consuming zero power. Available in electronic or pneumatic versions, Clippard pinch valves provide a completely unobstructed flow...
