MINIMATIC &
MAXIMATIC
Why use Clippard Minimatic and
Maximatic systems?
Clippard are manufacturers of pneumatic and electronic control devices.
Established in 1946, they take pride in manufacturing high quality miniature
pneumatic components with worldwide distribution.
From a simple two step machine process, to complex automation of
sophisticated machinery, Clippard Minimatics and Maximatics are used virtually
everywhere for control, interface, sensing, logic and actuation functions.
The Clippard Minimatics range includes stainless steel cylinders, solenoid
valves, air pilot valves and a large variety of fittings and tubing.
Clippard Maximatics are a larger selection of products that are utilised to
enhance the Minimatic range, and used in most industrial applications where a
high quality, low cost product is required. Clippard Maximatic are used virtually
everywhere for control, interface, sensing, logic and actuation functions.
Clippard offers a unique advantage by providing standard and custom products,
as well as value-added assemblies based on the most successful miniature
pneumatic line in the world.
Since being appointed Australian distributor for Clippard, Pneumatics Direct has
established an Australia wide network for this superior product range.
CLIPPARD MINIMATIC AND MAXIMATIC
CONTROL VALVES
Mechanically-Actuated Control Valves
Every system is unique, and Clippard has an air valve suited to every job.
Clippard control valves are available in poppet or spool design; 2-, 3- or 4- way
functions; and for pressures to 300psi.
They are available with solenoid, air pilot, manual and mechanical actuators, and
mounting styles include in-line, panel mount, manifold mount or clearance holes
for mounting screws.
When designing a pneumatics system, it is important to chose the proper size for
each component. A valve of insufficient capacity may cause an entire system to
operate slower than expected. Conversely, utilising a valve which possess greater
capacity than is actually required results in needless size and often leads to excessive speed, impact, wear and air consumption.
Toggle valves
By choosing valves with different toggle positions, the user can customise the
application to best suit their needs.
2-way toggle valves are the simplest pneumatic component, their function being to
merely turn an air supply on and off. They are available in poppet or spool formats,
and may be either a 2 position or have a momentary actuation.
3-way toggle valves have a supply, outlet and exhaust port. They are available in
poppet or spool formats, and may be either a 2 position or have a momentary
actuation.
4-way toggle valves can supply and exhaust two different outlets and are commonly
used with double-acting cylinders. They are spool valves that by movement of the
toggle may either be 2-position or have momentary actuation.
Stem valves
Stem valves are mechanically-actuated 2-, 3- or 4-way air valves with ENP brass
bodies in either a body ported, rotating port or cartridge configuration, These can
be manually-actuated, air-piloted, or may be part of a more complex control circuit.
2-way valves are the simplest pneumatic component— their function is merely to
turn an air supply on and off. They may best be compared to a water faucet; in the
“on” position water flows from inlet to outlet, and in the “off” position the water
flow is stopped. 2-way toggle valves may have a poppet or spool, and may be either
a 2 position or have a momentary actuation.
3-way valves are 2-way valves with the added function of exhausting the outlet
when the valve is closed. 3-way stem valves may have a poppet or spool and be
Normally-Closed (N.C.) or Normally-Open (N.O.).
4-way valves can supply and exhaust two different outlets, and are commonly used
with double-acting cylinders. They are spool valves that may either be spring return
or double acting.

ELECTRONIC MOUSE VALVES
Electronic Mouse Valves
Clippard’s electronic mouse line valves are quiet and quick precision built, 2-way and
3-way control valves, utilizing a unique, patented valving principle.
The valves accept low voltage, low current signals, coverting them into high pressure (100psi)
pneumatic outputs. Optional low pressure/medium flow and low pressure/high flow are
available.
The design of the Clippard electronic mouse valves is a deceptively simple arrangement, with
minimum operating parts and remarkably straight forward low power operation. The Clippard
‘spider’ is the only moving part, with an operating motion of a mere 0.007” of travel.
The electronic mouse valve uses extremely low power (only 0.67 watts at the rated voltage),
and is cool running. The valves are light in weight, compact in physical size, and mount easily
in space-saving packages.
Quick connect
Easy mounting
Clippard electronic mouse valves feature spade lugs for
simple, quick secure low voltage connections. Wire crimp-on
spade lug connectors are available
separately to adapt electronic wiring
where necessary.
Clippard original EV type valves are
available in popular voltages with
18” wire leads.
The complete range of Clippard electronic mouse valves are
available with two mounting options.
Standard base models have two 6-32 threaded, 7/32”
mounting holes.
Manifold models are equipped
with a bottom stud, 5/32” long
with #10-32 thread, which fits
Clippard standard and special
manifolds, accessory valves and
subplates. Spanner holes in the
valve body permit tightening.

Ophthalmic surgery
Respiratory
Clippard EV and ET valves are
trusted for use in Opthalmic
surgery procedures. The valves
are commonly used for controlling
vacuum during cornea replacement
surgery.
The eye is an extremely delicate
organ requiring acute care throughout the surgical
procedure, so reliability and ease of use are crucial
elements in this application.
For patients who need mechanical
assistance in order to breathe efficiently,
ventilators regulate exact adaptation of
pressure and flow characteristics to suit
their specific needs. Clippard electronic
valves allow the device to deliver precise,
adjustable volumes of oxygen with each
breath.
Due to the vital issues surrounding reliability, Clippard
engineers pay careful attention to design details that will
ensure consistent flow and will extend the life of the valve.
Blood pressure monitoring
Analysis equipment
Non-invasive blood pressure
monitoring involves the external
measurement of pressure and
pulses. Clippard’s proportional
valve can provide the precise
control needed for accurate
measuring of the patients’ blood
pressure.
A manufacturer of point of care (doctor’s
office) immunoassay analyzers utilizes
a custom Clippard acrylic subplate
that provides a mounting for ES valves
along with sensors and servos. This
instrument enables doctors to obtain
an instant analysis for TSH, Free T4,
and PSA. The valves control actuators
that punch reagent bags during the test. Cost, compact size,
mounting ease and reliability are the main reasons Clippard
products are used in this application.
