Solenoid Valves

LHQ Series Quiet Operation 3-Way Control Solenoid Valve

This small (7 mm), 3/2, quiet operation solenoid valve features technology that significantly reduces the actuation noise you typically hear when a solenoid valve is energized. The valve’s low sound profile (≤ 30 dB), low leakage, and high reliability (25 million cycles minimum), make it ideal for patient simulators and a variety of bedside pneumatic applications where actuation sound would otherwise interfere with comfort. Each valve is customizable and 100% tested to ensure performance.

Key Product Facts
  • Quiet Actuation:≤ 30 dB
  • Low Leakage:< 50 SµLPM across life
  • Lightweight:4.5 grams
  • Lohm Rate:2000 Lohms (Cv = 0.01)
  • Operating Pressure:Vacuum – 45 psig, 15 psid

Unless otherwise indicated, listed specifications are on air at 70°F (21°C).
*Reference the flow curve under the product information tab for flow rate at varying pressures.
**Our standard 3-port valves are designed for unidirectional flow, where the highest absolute pressure should be maintained at the common port (C). Bidirectional and reverse-flow valves are also available upon request.

*Several standard manifolds are available to ease prototype setup. They are available in mounting denominations of single valve (1x), three valves (3x), and eight valves (8x). Combine these denominations or plug unused ports to configure the setup for your specific application. Manifold part numbers include the manifold and secondary retention bracket only. All solenoid valves are sold separately. Alternate materials and customized manifold designs are available upon request.
**For use only with valves rated to 1100 Lohms or higher.
