The general principal behind a hit and hold circuit is that the valve is energized to full power for a short period of time before dropping the voltage and current to a specified level. Applications that are sensitive to heat rise can greatly benefit from hit and hold circuits by maintaining lower temperatures in a variety of applications. In some applications, hit and hold can actually extend the life of the valve.
Clippard’s hit and hold option minimizes the heat generated by the coil when the valve is energized for longer than 5 minutes. The optimized duty cycle is factory set and is available on Clippard Isolation and Pinch valves.
Benefits include:
- Lower power consumption
- Less heat generation by the coil
- Increased life cycle
- Ideal for applications that are sensitive to heat rise
