How Proportional Pinch Valves Enable Precise Fluid Control
Proportional pinch valves regulate fluid flow by compressing flexible tubing rather than contacting the fluid directly. This design enables precise, continuous control of flow rates while maintaining a fully isolated, contamination-free fluid path.
Unlike traditional on/off valves, proportional pinch valves allow engineers to achieve accurate dosing, repeatable performance, and reliable integration into automated systems.
How this approach works in practice
- Mechanical compression of tubing controls flow without fluid contact
- Continuous adjustment enables precise and repeatable flow rates
- Isolation of the fluid path eliminates contamination risk
Proportional Pinch Valve Solutions
Select the appropriate valve based on your system requirements, including flow range, tubing size, and control precision.
M Series Miniature Proportional Pinch Valves
Compact valves designed for low-flow, high-precision applications. Ideal for laboratory systems, and applications requiring fine control in a small footprint.
H Series Hybrid Proportional Pinch Valves
Higher force valves designed for larger tubing sizes and more demanding applications requiring increased flow capacity.
Drivers & Controllers
Controllers designed to integrate proportional pinch valves into automated systems, enabling precise control through standard input signals.
