Features

This valve is driven by a piece of shape memory alloy, giving it the following features:

• Compact and light weight: 19 x 18.4 x t4 mm and 1.5 g (approx.).
• Silent operation
• Low power consumption - 0.3 W or less.
• Low cost and disposable.

Specifications

*1: Please see "Cautions concerning Power Supply" below.
*2: Response times vary depending on the ambient temperature. The values above are measured at 30˚C. Can be improved by controlling the applied current (e.x. PWM, a spike & hold circuit, etc.). Please contact us for details.
*3: PEEK & Perfluoroelastomer are optionally available.

Cautions concerning Power Supply

1. Power supply by a constant current circuit is recommended.
2. Operation by 12 VDC power supply or batteries is also possible, but a resistor must be inserted between the valve and the power source. See diagram.
3. If you operate the valve by any other method, the shape memory alloy may burn out, resulting in the valve malfunctioning.
