Clippard EV mouse valves offer low vibration and fast response time

Wainbee offers the Clippard EV valve series.

Wainbee Limited’s massive inventory of industrial solutions includes many innovative products manufactured by Clippard Instrument Laboratory – including the bestselling EV series of mouse valves. The compact, lightweight design of these cool-running valves is a deceptively simple arrangement that features a lifespan of more than 1,000,000,000 cycles, offers an unusually quiet, low-power operation, and enables easy mounting in small spaces.

One hundred per cent tested

There is only one moving part in each of the valves in the EV series: the “spider.” Its motion to operate the valve takes up only 0.007 of an inch. This is why the series has such a long life. The spider is moved by low-voltage DC inputs, which generates response times from five to ten milliseconds from only 0.67 of a watt of power. These valves are 100 per cent tested by the manufacturer to meet high performance standards.

The EV series is available in common voltages with 18-inch wire leads, and it comes with two easy mounting options. In-line base models have two #6-32-threaded, 7/32-inch-deep mounting holes, while manifold models each have a bottom stud measuring 5/32 of an inch long with a #10-32 thread, which fits Clippard standard and special manifolds, accessory valves, and subplates. The spanner holes in the valves enables tightening.

Several variations of the Clippard EV series of mouse valves are available from Wainbee for different applications: a standard series, a high-flow model, a corrosion-resistant model, an analytical series, and an oxygen-clean series. Cleaning capabilities include analytical service and oxygen service. Other technical specifications of this valve family:
