TS5440 Series Microshot Needle Valve now includes an upgraded seal with a more robust material; reportedly extends the valve life by at least 300%. Permits the valve to handle more abrasive fluids; is ideal for use in harsh environments. Is designed to dispense low to medium viscosity material with precise deposits over a wide range of shot and bead sizes down to a fraction of a µL. Has an internal spring return; valve is adaptable for use with time/pressure controllers. A short opening stroke provides fast, positive shut-off. Includes an external stroke control adjustment. A stainless steel air cylinder version has been added to the series.
