New technology and dynamic shifts in the world labor supply will shape these new business models. To meet the new demands and stay in the game, retailers must sell Read the full article…
Smallest Solenoid Valve in the World
Created especially for the Life Science and Semiconductor industry, Koganei offers the smallest solenoid valve in the world. This is a valve that compares to nothing else available! The Micro 3-Port Solenoid Valve by Koganei is truly a breakthrough. SMALL SIZE: 5.9 mm width (World’s Smallest) LIGHT WEIGHT: 4.5 grams LOW LEAK RATE: As low Read the full article…
3D-CAD Makes Humphrey Valves Less Expensive
When Humphrey Products Corporation first started, back in 1901, creating a prototype valve involved paper drafting or clay models. Developing new products was slow and expensive as each revision meant recreating the model or drawing. Since the 1960’s, many manufacturers, including Humphrey, have used Computer Aided Design (CAD) methods to replace the old drafting and Read the full article…
Humphrey Balanced Solenoid Valves
Three years ago, Humphrey Products introduced the 153 Balanced Solenoid Valve, the first edition in their latest generation of direct-acting valve technology. Each 3-port solenoid valve is developed for maximum utility and meets a variety of functions with its multi-purpose classification. Its boasts significantly more flow (0.25 Cv), while fitting into tight spaces with its Read the full article…
Adapted Humphrey Valve Solves Truck Trailer Problem
Truck trailers have a mechanical device called a “slider,” which allows the operator to manually adjust the position of the axles and suspension to balance the trailer, or shorten its turning radius for tight maneuvering. To change the position, the driver must pull the actuation rod, which retracts the locking pins, move the truck, and Read the full article…

Tips About Proportional Humphrey Valves
What are Proportional Valves? Essentially proportional valves are electronic flow controllers. Users can vary the input current to the solenoid, and the output flow of the valve will vary accordingly. The greater the input current, the greater the flow through the valve. Typical applications for proportional Humphrey valves are: dynamically dispensing controlled amounts of air Read the full article…
Humphrey Valves: Pilot, Proportional, and Latching Types
What are Pilot Valves? Pilot valves are small, 3-way, subbase mount, direct-acting solenoid valves. They use low power and can thus be operated by smaller power supplies, controllers, or even batteries. They have a pressure rating and flow capacity sufficient to shift, or “pilot” larger process or work valves, such as those controlling large bore Read the full article…
How Do Proximity Switches Work?
Proximity switches open or close an electrical circuit when they make contact with or come within a certain distance of an object. Proximity switches are most commonly used in manufacturing equipment, robotics, and security systems. There are 4 basic types of proximity switches: infrared, acoustic, capacitive, and inductive. Infrared Switches These work by sending out Read the full article…
Control System Security
Control system security is the prevention of intentional or unintentional interference with the proper operation of industrial automation and control systems. These control systems manage essential services including electricity, petroleum production, water, transportation, manufacturing, and communications. They rely on computers, networks, operating systems, applications, and programmable controllers, each of which could contain security vulnerabilities. The Read the full article…
