Our 2 and 3-way solenoid valve designs are highly customizable for gas and liquid applications in. Many designs use Valcor’s proprietary floating seal design, which provides enumerable benefits over competitive valves. Typical applications include the control of fuel tank pressurization, hot gas engine bleed air, oxidizer tank pressurization, pressurant isolation, propellant isolation, and RCS thruster valves. Also available are 3-way actuator control valves for large propellant valves. End connections include MS, Tube, and Socket Weld. Many are also available in manifoldable (plug-in) configurations.

Our hydraulic accumulators employ novel design features that provide high pressure capability in a lightweight and compact configuration. They are typically used in launch vehicle hydraulic systems (emergency back-up power, fluid thermal expansion), and are available in piston type or maintenance-free welded bellows designs.

Custom manifolds are no challenge to us. We design complete systems around our components, integrating third-party components as needed. Our manifolds provide turn-key solutions to your fluid control system requirement! Typical applications for manifolds include systems used for propellant tank pressurization, propellant isolation, and pressure regulation/relief.

Our family of piston-sensed pressure-reducing regulators are available in relieving and non-relieving configurations. For extremely low control pressure applications, bellows-sensed absolute pressure regulators are also offered. A wide range of available elastomer and lip seal soft goods ensure maximum compatibility with the process media.

Custom-designed metal-seated fill and drain valves offer the right performance for demanding applications. A wide range of mounting styles, end connections, body and seal options are available. These valves are used in space and launch vehicle systems for propellant loading and venting, and pneumatic pressure vessel charging and venting.

Designed to protect sensitive pneumatic and hydraulic systems from over pressurization, relief valves crack at the desired pressure, and reseat at a much lower, safer system pressure. Adjustable and preset pressures, with customizable crack to reseat pressure ranges are available, along with an extensive range of pressure and flow capacities.

Check valves prevent the backflow of process media in propellant and oxidizer systems. Our proprietary technology provides chatter free, stable performance under the most demanding system conditions.

Latch valves offer bi-stable valve operation. The valve is pulsed open or closed, and utilizes a permanent magnet to hold the valve open or closed, saving precious power in solar-powered spacecraft applications. Titanium and CRES body material with operating pressures to 10,000 PSIG are available.

 

 

Leveraging Valcor's vast experience in Aircraft, Missile and Space applications, Valcor's approach to valves and specialized fluid control systems for Military Land Vehicles comes from an incredibly powerful place. With 70 years of experience in aerospace and defense applications, it is well placed to provide custom engineering solutions for land-based vehicles. Designing solenoid valves and specialized fluid control systems for land-based vehicles poses additional challenges, not insurmountable ones. Excessive shaking, vibration and shaking, exposure to extreme dusty, dirty and wet conditions require a highly specialized and robust construction. It designs, tests, and manufactures valves and systems in accordance with customer specifications and Mil-Spec requirements.
