Description

Valcor’s family of Thruster Valves valves are direct acting, coaxial, poppet solenoid shut-off valves that are well-suited for the extreme vibration, temperature, and cycle life requirements found in the most severe satellite and spacecraft operating conditions. The compact size and low weight allow these valves to be used in the tightest space available. Its coaxial design allows for minimal pressure drop and use a poppet with a resilient seal for tight shut-off. These valves do not require system pressure to operate and are available in a normally closed configuration.

Application

Valcor Thruster Valves are mostly direct acting, poppet solenoid shut-off valves that are well-suited for the extreme vibration, temperature, and high cycle life requirements found in the most severe satellite, spacecraft and missile defense operating conditions. The compact size and low weight allow these valves to be used in the tightest space available. Coaxial designs allow for minimal pressure drop and use a poppet with a resilient seal for tight shut-off. The direct acting valves do not require system pressure to operate and are available in a normally closed configuration. The hot gas thruster valve is a “pilot” operated valve, that uses the hot line pressure to move the main valve element.
