Solenoid Valve housed in compact 15mm
Ryton body
Based upon the proven Microsol unit, the Microprop is housed in an extremely compact 15mm Ryton body
To facilitate the proportional control of the flow of gases or liquids, KV now offers the Microprop as part of its Solenoid Valve Range Based upon the proven Microsol unit, the Microprop is housed in an extremely compact 15mm Ryton body
Orifice diameters (which determine the maximum flow achievable) vary across the range from 0.8 to 5.0mm.
Proportional flow output is achieved by adjusting the applied electrical input current or voltage.
With a maximum operational pressure of 12 bar, the valves have been designed for a variety of medical, industrial and analytical applications.
In a typical application for Medical Breathing, a 24-volt valve with a 2mm orifice realises a flow factor of Kv 0.9.
Port connections to the units include; M5 body ported thread and sub-base mounted options.
The latter allow the valves to be mounted on custom-built control modules.
