Exceptional Flow Control for Non-Corrosive Gases
The Cordis CHV series volume boosters deliver precise linear pressure control comparable to the CPC series, while boasting exceptional forward- and reverse-flow characteristics. These boosters are designed specifically for use with clean, dry, non-corrosive gases.
Perfect for use with costly inert gases, the CHV series is recommended for applications like pneumatic clutches and brakes, controlling accurate test pressure in test stands or production-line equipment, dancer arm-tension control, blanketing control in nitrogen and other inert gases, resistance welding tip force control, atomizing and fan control in painting or coating, low pressure with high accuracy and resolution at high flow, and variable vacuum – or vacuum through positive pressure control, either absolute or gauge reference.
• Smooth linear control
• Integrated downstream sensor feedback
• Analog and 3.3-volt serial command
• Compatibility with static or dynamic applications
• High resolution, with no integral bleed necessary to maintain it
• Proportional fill and bleed control
• Customizable pressure ranges and mounting

Custom Calibrated Pressure Sensors
Your business can use these sensors as standalone models or with Cordis pressure controls, and Clippard can customize the calibration around specific user needs with the help of our experts. Compatible with both standard and dynamic applications. Also with an IP65 protection rating.
Electronic Flow Controllers
With a turndown ratio of 50 to one, warmup of less than one minute, an H20 pressure drop of less than or equal to 14 inches, and optional integrated regulators.
Clippard Minimatic® Electronic Valves: Precision Engineering for Industry Excellence
Introducing Clippard Minimatic® electronic valves, precision-engineered with Clippard's patented valving principle. The DV Series, successor to the renowned EV Series, offers compactness, speed, and durability, with over 1,000,000,000 cycles!
Ideal for medical, analytical, packaging, and manufacturing industries, these valves boast high flow rates (up to 100 l/min for 2-way and 70 l/min for 3-way), leak-free operation, and rapid response times. With low heat rise, low power consumption, and a robust stainless steel "Spider" flat armature spring, they ensure reliability and longevity.
CE certified for compliance, these valves excel in precision control and high-volume applications, setting new standards in fluid control systems.
New! ES Series Electronic Valves
Compact size, long life, and exceptional leak resistance for improving reliability in a wide range of analytical and biomedical applications.
• Over 1 billion cycles (under ideal conditions)
• 0.01 atm sccm leak rate
• No threads in flow path
• Fast response - 5 to 10 ms (nominal)
• Close mounting - 7/8” on center, overall height less than 1”
• Customizable pressure ranges and mounting options
• Compatible with multiple inert gasses
• Ideal for ultra-low leak applications
The ES series features large cross-sectional O-rings, minimal leak points, and proven poppet designs. All mounting hardware is outside of the flow path for the ES, and no internal parts are threaded during assembly to reduce the possibility of contamination. The ES has the best performance-to-price ratio for low leak valves.

New! Cordis CPS Pressure Sensors
Clippard's Cordis family now includes a new line of transducers. These sensors are conditioned and offer a customized calibration around your application requirements, allowing for a full-scale accuracy of 0.25% over the calibrated range. They can be used in conjunction with Clippard's Cordis pressure controller or as a standalone unit.
Multiple mounting options allow the user to place the sensor downstream or in a remote location from the pressure controller. This creates a quicker response and helps avoid any lag in the system. The manifold mount lends itself well to analytical value-added assemblies. All wetted materials are Oxygen compatible and manifold mounting eliminates any possible contamination during assembly.
CPS Pressure Sensor Benefits:
• Standalone or use in conjunction with Cordis Pressure Controls
• Downstream sensor feedback
• Multiple VDC signal outputs
• Static or dynamic applications
• Multiple electrical connection options
• Customizable pressure ranges and mounting options
• IP65 Protection Rating
• Temperature compensated
Clippard EV Mouse Valves Offer Low Vibration & Fast Response Time
Clippard's bestselling EV series of mouse valves. The compact, lightweight design of these cool-running valves is a deceptively simple arrangement that features a lifespan of more than 1,000,000,000 cycles, offers an unusually quiet, low-power operation, and enables easy mounting in small spaces.
One Hundred Per Cent Tested
There is only one moving part in each of the valves in the EV series: the “spider.” Its motion to operate the valve takes up only 0.007 of an inch. This is why the series has such a long life. The spider is moved by low-voltage DC inputs, which generates response times from five to ten milliseconds from only 0.67 of a watt of power. These valves are 100 per cent tested by the manufacturer to meet high performance standards.
The EV series is available in common voltages with 18-inch wire leads, and it comes with two easy mounting options. In-line base models have two #6-32-threaded, 7/32-inch-deep mounting holes, while manifold models each have a bottom stud measuring 5/32 of an inch long with a #10-32 thread, which fits Clippard standard and special manifolds, accessory valves, and subplates. The spanner holes in the valves enables tightening.
