Unmatched Precision & Reliability for Life-Saving Medical Technologies

In life-saving medical devices, precision and reliability aren’t just important—they’re essential. Clippard valves have become a trusted solution in critical applications like artificial hearts and ventilators, where every pulse and breath matters.

In artificial hearts, they pilot diaphragm pumps to precisely replicate the natural rhythm of a heartbeat, ensuring consistent and reliable performance vital for patient survival. In ventilators, Clippard valves manage airflow, regulate pressure, and enable precise gas blending to deliver tailored respiratory support with exceptional accuracy.

Clippard’s patented Spider Technology transformed valve design with its minimalist flat armature and central plunger mechanism. Renowned for exceptional reliability and performance, the original EV series "spider" valve remains the industry standard for long life and minimal leakage.

Building on this legacy, Clippard offers a range of spider valves suited for various applications, particularly in medical devices, where their benefits shine:

Minimal Wear: Movement as small as 0.007" extends operational life.

Rapid Response: Ensures precise timing in critical applications.

Quiet Operation: Ideal for noise-sensitive environments like hospitals.

Energy Efficiency: Low power requirements suit portable devices.

Compact Design: Reduced internal volume saves space.

Unmatched Durability: Tested to endure over 1 billion cycles.

Exceptional Flow Control for Non-Corrosive Gases

The Cordis CHV series volume boosters deliver precise linear pressure control comparable to the CPC series, while boasting exceptional forward- and reverse-flow characteristics. These boosters are designed specifically for use with clean, dry, non-corrosive gases.

Perfect for use with costly inert gases, the CHV series is recommended for applications like pneumatic clutches and brakes, controlling accurate test pressure in test stands or production-line equipment, dancer arm-tension control, blanketing control in nitrogen and other inert gases, resistance welding tip force control, atomizing and fan control in painting or coating, low pressure with high accuracy and resolution at high flow, and variable vacuum – or vacuum through positive pressure control, either absolute or gauge reference.

Clippard EV Mouse Valves Offer Low Vibration & Fast Response Time

Clippard's 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.

Other technical specifications of this valve family:

• Valve type: two- or three-way, normally open, or normally closed.
• Medium: clean, dry air (40-micron filter).
• Pressure range: Vacuum to 105 psig.
• Temperature range: Zero to 82 degrees Celsius.
• Operating range: 90 to 150 per cent of rated voltage.
• Voltage: 12 or 24 VDC.
• Materials: Nickel-plated brass body with nickel-plated steel housing, core, and spider.
• Seal material: Nitrile standard; FKM, EPDM, and silicone also available.
