Piezoelectric bending and stack elements utilize the inverse piezoelectric effect of PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ferroelectric ceramics.

Eine elastische Trennmembran aus EPDM, FKM, FFKM oder PTFE ist zwischen dem Fluidraum und dem Ankerraum eingespannt. Die Membran bildet eine undurchdringliche chemische Barriere, sodass der elektromagnetische Antrieb vollständig vom Reagenz- oder Probenmedium isoliert bleibt. A flexible isolation diaphragm (EPDM, FKM, FFKM, or PTFE) is clamped across the valve cavity, creating an impermeable barrier between the solenoid actuator and the fluidic channel.

Ein drehbar gelagerter interner Wippenarm ('Rocker') mit elastischen Dichtelementen wird durch einen integrierten Solenoid-Stößel um einen Drehpunkt gekippt. Das Kippen verschließt wechselseitig einen Ventilport, während der andere Port freigegeben wird, getrennt durch eine elastische Isolierfolie. A pivoted internal 'rocker' lever arm with elastomeric sealing pads is tilted back and forth by an internal solenoid. Tilting the rocker opens one port while simultaneously closing an opposing port across an isolating barrier diaphragm.
