An electric pinch valve, commonly known as a tube pinch valve or squeeze valve, utilizes an electric actuator to compress a flexible tube, thus controlling the flow of fluids. This design makes it ideal for applications where conventional valves may fail due to abrasion, corrosion, or clogging by solids.

    Working Principle

    The working principle of an electric pinch valve is simple yet effective. The valve consists of a flexible tube and a pair of jaws or pinchers. When the electric actuator is energized, the jaws close, compressing the tube and restricting fluid flow. Conversely, when the actuator is de-energized, the jaws open, allowing the tube to expand and fluid to flow freely.
