Anonymous Poster	Electronically controlled variable valves? 02/21/2007 2:11 PM
	Hi... I have an inventive idea that requires several small electronically controlled valves to restrict or fully stop the flow oil with the approximate viscosity of 10W40 motor oil. I am guessing the maximum pressure they would have to resist would be about 5 bar. Its size must not be greater than approximately 15mm dia. Does anyone know of such an 'off the shelf' device? ...Regards, JD

	Yes, the ON - OFF valves are commonly called solenoid valves, or solenoid-operated valves, and those that can vary flow smoothly are usually called proportional control valves. Search via Global spec and google. __________________ There is more to life than just eating mice.
