This cable connects the Ideal Vacuum Pulsar pulse valve controller or a Parker Iota 1 valve controller to a Parker Series 9 pulsed solenoid valves. It can also be used to connect to an Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valve. The cable length is 10 feet. The Pulsar is a benchtop or rack mountable driver for high-speed solenoid valves (28 VDC) and is compatible with both Parker Series 9 and Ideal Vacuum pulse valves. Pulse duration ranges in microseconds, milliseconds, or longer can be selected. The Pulsar is often used to generate pulsed molecular beam sources for laser spectroscopy experiments. Short, timed, supersonic gas pulses can be generated to deliver the sample to a laser pulse when it arrives, dramatically reducing the amount of sample used compared to continuous jet systems. Short, supersonic pulses get very cold as the gas expands, reducing doppler broadening and spectral complexity.

This is an Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Valve rebuild kit with PTFE poppets and a Teflon coated armature. It is compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid ValvesKit Contents: 10 x PTFE Poppets. 5 x Buffer Springs.

These PTFE poppets are compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The poppet forms the vacuum seal at the pulse valve output orifice when the valve is closed. PTFE is soft, so the poppets will become deformed with use and need to be replaced. For best results, poppets need to be replaced after no more than 1 month of regular use. Exposure to certain chemicals or elevated temperatures may cause poppets to need replacement more often, even as often as once per day.

These are replacement external O-Rings compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The external O-ring forms a vacuum-tight seal between the valve body, which contains the output orifice or nozzle, and the vaccum chamber or item under test. These O-rings are made of chemically-resistant Viton® for use in vacuum or mild to moderate chemical environments. See drawing below for external O-ring replacement location. Viton is a registered trademark of The Chemours Company FC, LLC.

These are replacement internal O-Rings compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The internal O-ring forms a pressure-tight seal which can withstand up to 250 PSIG between the valve body, which contains the output orifice or nozzle, and the solenoid coil assembly. These O-rings are made of chemically-resistant Viton® for use in vacuum or mild to moderate chemical environments. See drawing below for internal O-ring replacement location.

This is a replacement double-Teflon-coated armature compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The armature is a stainless-steel rod that actuates the valve when a magnetic field is induced by the solenoid coil assembly. Abrasion-resistant black Teflon™ double-coated armatures are typically more chemically resistant and have faster, more-consistent actuation times than uncoated armatures. See drawing below for armature replacement location.

This is a replacement uncoated armature compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The armature is a stainless-steel rod that actuates the valve when a magnetic field is induced by the solenoid coil assembly. Teflon™ coated armatures are typically more chemically resistant and have faster, more-consistent actuation times than uncoated armatures. However, some chemicals are destructive to Teflon and will perform better with an uncoated armature.

These are replacement stainless steel main load springs compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The main load spring provides the closing force for the valve when the solenoid coil is de-energized. If the main load spring becomes corroded, brittle, or broken, due to long-term use or chemical exposure the valve will fail to close properly. See drawing below for spring replacement location.

These are replacement stainless steel buffer springs compatible with Parker Series 9 pulse valves and Ideal Vacuum High-Speed Pulsed Solenoid Valves. The buffer spring assists with valve armature alignment and performance tuning. If the buffer spring becomes corroded, brittle, or broken, due to long-term use or chemical exposure the valve will perform eratically or fail to open when energized. See drawing below for spring replacement location.
