Humphrey mechanical valves: precision through movement

Humphrey mechanical valves are the ideal solution for automating sequential movements in machines without using electronics. By using the physical movement of machine parts, such as cams, slides or cylinders, these valves switch with utmost precision. Inacom offers an extensive range of mechanical switching solutions known for their robust diaphragm-poppet design and bubble-tight seal.

Switching via machine movement

In many industrial processes, a direct mechanical link is more reliable than an electronic sensor. Humphrey mechanical valves respond immediately to physical activation. For detailed installation dimensions and technical drawings, consult the official Humphrey Products documentation.

• Roller cam: Ideal for activation by a passing cam or moving slide. The bearing-mounted roller minimises friction and wear.
• Plunger: For direct, linear activation by a machine part.
• No stiction: Thanks to the poppet design, these valves do not stick, even after thousands of repetitions or a long standstill.
• Smeervrij: De ventielen functioneren perfect met droge lucht, wat essentieel is in omgevingen waar olieverneveling ongewenst is.

Cartridge insert valves: integration into your design

A unique aspect of our Humphrey mechanical valves is the availability of cartridge models. These are specially designed for OEM manufacturers who want to fully integrate the pneumatic function into their own machine blocks or manifolds.

• Press-fit mounting: The valves are pressed directly into a bore in your machine.
• Space saving: No external housings or heavy fittings needed; your machine frame acts as the base.
• Leak prevention: Internal integration eliminates many external tubes, increasing the reliability of the entire system. This creates a more compact and maintenance-free end product.

Overview of mechanical versions

Custom solutions for machine building

At Inacom we understand that the mechanical interface of a valve must exactly match the stroke and force of your machine. Humphrey mechanical valves offer that necessary constant factor. Whether you are looking for a robust 250-serie for a heavy press or a tiny cartridge valve for a medical instrument, we advise you on the right spring rate and flow. That is why Inacom is the preferred partner for smart mechanical pneumatics.
