SPIDER TECHNOLOGY-2

What is Spider Technology? In 1973, Clippard patented a new valve design that utilized a unique sealing mechanism to improve performance and reliability. The design was a significant advancement and helped establish Clippard as a leading innovator in the field of pneumatic control. It featured a seal that was held in place by a very special spring, which consisted of a central plunger surrounded by several magnetically-responsive “legs” that moved in response to changes in pressure. When the valve was actuated, the legs moved outward, creating an opening that enabled media to flow through. It...

SPIDER TECHNOLOGY-6

EV SERIES ELECTRONIC VALVES Clippard's original EV series valve design is a deceptively simple arrangement featuring a remarkably quiet, low power operation. The Clippard "spider" is the only moving part, and its motion to operate the valve is a mere 0.007" travel. As a result, this valve features an exceptionally long life—proven to last over 1,000,000,000+ cycles. Low voltage DC inputs move the spider, generating extremely fast response times of 5 to 10 milliseconds while using only 0.67 watts of power. The EV series is cool running and its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to mount...
