Product Description
Overview
Edwards’ aluminum LCPVEK valves are designed for vacuum applications which need a compact, simple, solenoid operation valve to control gas flow. These economical valves are ideal for a number of duties ranging from simple laboratory pump isolation to OEM vacuum system integration and design. Their versatility makes them effective both in vacuum pipelines and in chamber admittance applications.
Careful design of the solenoid power control and vacuum isolation components delivers efficient magnetic actuation with optimum vacuum performance at an affordable price.

Technology
Careful design of the solenoid power control and vacuum isolation components delivers efficient magnetic actuation with optimum vacuum performance at an affordable price. This facilitates the use of an electrically actuated valve in many applications where previously this had been uneconomic
