NITRA GVP series pneumatic miniature solenoid valves are an excellent choice for many automation applications with low flow requirements. These two- and three-port valves are typically used for on/off flow control or with single-acting cylinders.
Starting at $26.00, GVP series 12 or 24 VDC solenoid valves are available in 10mm and 15mm valve widths and in 2-way or 3-way normally closed configurations. Latching solenoid valves are available in 3-way normally closed configuration. Latching solenoid valves will stay open after being momentarily energized thus saving power consumption and reducing heat. Simply reverse polarity momentarily to close the valve.
Used with GVP series valves, NITRA GM-3 series compact, precision machined manifolds are available in single to 6 stations for 10mm manifolds and in single to 4 stations for 15mm manifolds. Anodized aluminum construction is used for corrosion resistance. Miniature solenoid manifolds are priced from $16.50.
Also newly available are compact and miniature manual air valves, general purpose shuttle and bleed valve fittings, brass air jet nozzle kits and non-metallic pneumatic manifolds.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
