Solenoid Valves

Scaling Down Solenoid Valves Without Reducing Flowrates

Over the course of their long existence solenoid valves have developed slowly but continuously so that they are opening up new fields of application. Today they are a central element in controlling fluids in a broad spectrum of different applications. One of the newer areas of application is in the life sciences. A new actuation technology now allows a significant reduction in size with no loss of performance.
