Control Valves

Check valves allow flow in one direction and automatically prevent flow in the opposite direction. Clippard check valves feature durable brass body construction with Nitrile seals and a stainless steel spring. A variety of porting options are available.

• #10-32 Check Valves
• 1/8" NPT Check Valves
• 1/4" NPT Check Valves
• 3/8" NPT Check Vavles
• Pilot-Operated Check Valves

Pilot actuated water drawback valves are ideal for use in quenching or water spray applications. When closed, a spring-based internal piston draws back a small volume on the outlet side.

• #10-32 Drawback Valve
• 1/8" NPT Drawback Valve

Air operated electric switches convert air pressure to an electrical signal, providing an interface between pneumatic systems and electrical controls.

• Single Pole Electrical Switch
• Air-to-Electric Switches
• Pressure Actuated Switches
• Miniature Air Actuated

Quick exhaust valves are primarily used to increase cylinder cycle speeds. Clippard J-Series quick exhaust valves also enable the use of smaller directional control valves and longer control lines, and can be used as a shuttle valve. These quick exhaust valves feature a compact, durable brass construction with molded Nitrile seals.

• #10-32 Quick Exhaust Valves
• 1/8" NPT Quick Exhaust Valves
• 1/4" NPT Quick Exhaust Valves

Clippard offers four styles of adjustable flow controls with #10-32 through 3/8" NPT ports. These precision flow control valves are ideal for use with pneumatic cylinders, providing a slow extend stroke while allowing a fast retract stroke. Flow control valves are also used for delay functions when using air pilot valves.

• Push-Quick Right Angle
  Elbow Flow Controls
• Push-Quick In-Line

• Block Manifold Flow Controls

Gauges measure pneumatic system or pneumatic vacuum pressures. Constructed with a steel case and plastic face, these gauge dials show two pressure ranges and feature a built-in pressure snubber.

• Vacuum Gauge
• Pressure Gauge
• 1/8" NPT Pressure Gauge

Needle valves are used to control the rate of flow in both directions. Clippard offers a variety of adjustable control needle valves with various port and needle configurations to provide coarse or fine flow adjustment.

• Manifold Needle Valves
• Electronic Needle Valves
• MNV Series Needle Valves
• GNV Series Needle Valves

Regulators are offered in either relieving or non-relieving versions. The relieving design maintains a constant pressure output even when downstream conditions change, while non-relieving regulators do not automatically compensate for changes in downstream flow or pressure. A variety of adjustment options and mounting styles are available.

• Adjustable Pressure

• Precision Adjustable
  Pressure Regulators
• Plunger-Type

The PV-1 pulse valve is a normally-open 3-way valve that closes shortly after being pressurized and remains closed until supply pressure is exhausted and re-pressurized. This type of valve is widely used in control circuits.

• #10-32 Pulse Valve
• 1/8" NPT Pulse Valve
• Modular Pulse Valve
 

Electronics are often the choice for non-contact sensing, but for some applications an all pneumatic sensor for a non electrical sensing system provides a lower cost solution.

• Non-Contact Proximity Sensors
• Differential Pressure Sensors
• 2-Way Pilot Sensors
• Whisker Valves
• Multi-Pin Air Indicator
• Single Pin Air Indicator

Shuttle valves allow flow from one inlet to the outlet while blocking the other inlet. These poppet type "double check" valves feature durable brass bodies and Nitrile seals.

• #10-32 Shuttle Valves
• 1/8" NPT Shuttle Valves
• 1/4" NPT Shuttle Valves
