Parker announces the introduction of the VSO® Max HP Miniature High Flow Proportional Valve Delivering Maximum Flow with Less Power for Medical Applications

The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced the release of its VSO MAX HP miniature high flow proportional valve.

This latest innovation provides maximum flow capabilities greater than 200 SLPM at 45 psi (3.10), while consuming less than 2 watts of power.  This is 25% less power consumption than comparable miniature proportional valves. The VSO MAX HP valve is an ideal solution for medical applications that require pressure and volume control such as ventilators, insufflators and anesthesia delivery machines. 

In today’s medical device industry, size is an important element.  VSO^® Max HP’s operating pressure of up to 120 psi (8.27 bar) eliminates the need for an inlet regulator.  This translates to a smaller, sleek medical device design and offers potential savings.  The medical device industry also expects reliability.  The repeatable flow performance of the VSO^® Max HP ensures dependability over the product life.  REACH and RoHS compliant, cleaned for oxygen service use and proven performance to 25 million life cycles all bundled in the VSO®  proportional valve family that has been recognized in Life Sciences for over a decade.  If maximum flow with less power is needed, Parker’s VSO^® Max HP can deliver.
