Sarasota, Florida - Viking AT, LLC brings forward a piezo micro valve with superior proportional control, based on its ViVa Mechanical Amplification.
Viking's team was able to shrink its ViVa Mechanical Amplifier to 1mm x 8.2mm x 11.5mm. This device is a driving proportional flow valve with great success in controlling liquid hydrocarbons and has further been tested for use with Air, Nitrogen, Helium and other gasses.
The valve has proven itself in a micro fuel cell application for consumer electronics and was designed for mass production!
Highlights of the new ViVa piezo actuator driven Micro Valve include:
Powerful stroke and force
Built for mass production
Very low cost
Very low power consumption
Can extend to many different applications and markets
The size of a quarter
