silQflo® Silicon Servo Valve (SSV)
DMQ’s silQflo® Silicon Servo Valve (SSV) is a MEMS-based microvalve that is designed to control fluid flow or pressure with high precision and with fast response time. It can be used as a standalone unit or as an integrated component of a more complex device. The reduced size and weight of the SSV lends itself to innovative package designs and the inherent proportionality of the actuator makes it an ideal proportional control valve.
DMQ’s patented silQflo® microvalve technology is an innovative solution to any flow control system. A custom microvalve can be designed and developed to meet different application requirements for more precise and efficient flow control. Some customizable package features of the microvalve include physical size, port locations, maximum flow, operating power, etc.
The silQflo® SSV has enhanced contamination tolerance that is rated to 20/19/16 per ISO 4406:1999 standard. The SSV chipset has been proven on automotive transmission test to withstand up to 10,000 particles greater than 4µm in size, per milliliter of fluid. The silQflo® SSV directly replaces the Ventilum® microvalve series that was rated to withstand 320 particles greater than 4µm in size, per milliliter of fluid.
