Control valves are used to control the flow of fluids or gasses within a closed system. They get directions from a controller that sends signals to the valve, so it knows the set point it must maintain. This allows for the direct control of the rate of flow within the system. Control of the flow […]

Proportional control valves have been since the 80s and are increasing in their popularity. They are replacing servo valves in lots of applications. This is due in part to the cost of a hydraulic proportional valve being 50% of the cost of a servo valve of the same size. Servo valves continue to be used […]

Measurement of flow, be it a gas or liquid, is a critical parameter in many processes. In most operations, it’s important to know that the right material is in the right place at the right time. Some applications need the ability to conduct accurate flow measurements to ensure the quality of the product. Health and […]

A pneumatic pressure regulator is a device that reduces a high-pressure source to lower, more workable pressure source. The regulator will take the upstream source, be it a liquid or gas, and lower it to a pre-set level and maintain that desired outcome no matter what happens in the incoming pressure. The accuracy and efficiency […]

Do you know if hysteresis is affecting your application? Hysteresis is a lag in a reaction to any acting force and it is found everywhere, from physics to biology, engineering, and even economics. There are lots of things to plan for and mitigate when planning your build, and hysteresis is a big one. We will […]
