Humphrey Balanced Solenoid Valves

February 9, 2015 | written by twg


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 reduced 15mm size. The reasonable price point makes this valve a great value to OEMs and end users in a variety of markets.

The 153 Valve is a balanced-poppet design, which means all internal forces generated by the pressurized media have effectively been neutralized.

You can expect this valve to have very stable performance regardless of any media fluctuations, mild contamination, or porting choices. Humphrey’s stringent requirements for extremely low leak rates still apply – designed and tested 4ccm max at 100psi.

Other features include:

  • 2- or 3-way
  • Normally closed or normally open
  • Diverter
  • Select
  • Clean or not so clear air
  • Applicable for the full pressure range to 125 psi, including vacuum

Since then, Humphrey has expanded their line of Balanced Solenoid Valves to include a 19mm (193) model. Larger, but like the 153, the 193 was developed for maximum utility. Each 3-port solenoid valve meets a variety of functions with its multi-purpose classification. It boasts significantly more flow than the 153 (0.65 Cv), while fitting into tight spaces with its 19mm size.
