One of the major elements of Clippard’s award winning design concept is the manifold body of the Modular Valve Series.
It encircles a central valve cavity with air passages that can be used at any point along the axis of the valve. These passages terminate at the base of the body in a circular octoport pattern.
The body mates with a manifold subplate which mounts the complete module and provides #10-32 tapped holes for standard hose fittings.
A single molded Octoport gasket, held in place by the two mounting screws, insuring a positive seal.
Because of the easy availability of an air connection wherever it is required, the manifold body permits valve elements to be designed for maximum performance without the restrictive limitations of rigid port configurations.
It also allows multiple porting, using two or more ports as an inlet, outlet, supply, etc. This reduces the amount of external piping needed to complete the circuit. Furthermore the manifold body enables the internal interconnection of ports. This is especially valuable in a number of modules that contain more than one valve.
The separate elements are interconnected in the same module to provide complete sub-circuits such as three input “OR”, three input “AND”, or a two input “NOR”. These functions further reduce external piping.
The system operating range is 0-150 psig and recommended filtration is 40 micron
The Modular Valve System
Modular Valves & Circuits
With the various types of Clippard Minimatic Modular Valves, porting and subplate/ manifold circuitry, almost any configuration is possible, easy to assemble, with resulting high performance and cost-effectiveness.

VERSATILITY
| Minimatic Modular valves are available in an unlimited variety of directional, flow, pressure and special control valves, each housed in a valve body designed to mount and link in a simple piping system. Multiple valve elements can be contained in a single body providing, incredible flexibility and the ability to accomplish many control functions in the one unit.The valves are easily plugged into a suplate or acrylic circuit board then plumbed with hose and fittings.
BENEFITS: Easy assembly and plumbing, saving in labour costs, errors in installation and the risks of leakage. |
