Our thrust valves are normally closed shutoff valves that are a single-stage, direct operated pneumatic solenoid valve for aerospace cold-gas thruster applications that handle nitrogen or argon. The pressure balanced design minimizes power consumption for high flow with rapid response characteristics.

 

These attitude control vector solenoids also feature...

• Direct-Coupled operation with Fast Response < 30 msec
• Proprietary high-flow poppet provides bubble tight sealing
• Aerospace qualified for launch & defense applications
• Pressure balanced design is insensitive to system pressure
• Assembled, tested, & packaged in class 100,000 cleanroom
• Configurable to the special requirements of each system 

Our proprietary designs allow extremely high flow in a small package with minimal power consumption. Bubble-tight sealing is provided through a precision poppet/seal assembly.

 

Our thrust valve's unique features allow this product to be used with pressurized gas systems primarily for attitude control in defense and space applications. These valves can also be configured for manifold insertion where multiple attitude control vector solenoids are supplied by a common pressure regulator.
