Solenoid pinch valve Acro Associates

Solenoid pinch valves use a current passing through a solenoid to induce a magnetic field, which then supplies force to a magnetic plunger. Pinching functionality is achieved by integrating an actuator and a pinching mechanism into a single unit. The pinching mechanism captures the tubing and provides a fixed pinching surface; the actuator generates forces that act on a sliding plunger to pinch the tubing. A spring typically supplies the force in one direction, while the actuator produces an opposing force.

Common applications for solenoid pinch valves are in the medical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory industries.
