Schubert & Salzer Expands Low-Flow Valve Portfolio
The company introduced three new valve models designed for high-pressure applications and precise small-flow control.
Updated on Oct. 23, 2026 in Semiconductors
Schubert & Salzer Control Systems has expanded its low-flow valve product line with the introduction of three new variants: the Type 7242, Type 7342, and Type 7045. These additions are engineered to provide precise regulation for small fluid flows within high-pressure environments.
Why it matters
The new valve series addresses technical requirements in industrial settings where maintaining accurate control of minimal flow rates under extreme pressure is critical for process safety. By offering specific high-temperature and leakage-resistant configurations, the expansion supports demanding operational parameters.
The valves feature nominal sizes between DN 8 and DN 15, with standard temperature ranges spanning from -60°C to +210°C. High-temperature variants are capable of operating up to 530°C, utilizing 1.4404 stainless steel bodies and optional tungsten carbide trim.
The players
Schubert & Salzer Control Systems
An international manufacturer specializing in high-precision control valves and positioning systems for industrial process engineering.
The details
The newly released models incorporate replaceable trim options made from hardened stainless steel or tungsten carbide to withstand harsh conditions. The Type 7042 valve is equipped with a Type 8049 digital positioner, which provides an optional IO-Link connection for real-time condition monitoring.
Timeline
The expanded valve range was officially announced on October 23, 2026.
The Tech Race
The integration of the IO-Link communication protocol reflects a broader trend of incorporating digital diagnostics into mechanical fluid control components. This transition replaces legacy analog monitoring with smart, data-driven systems that allow for proactive maintenance and operational visibility.
Industrial operators can utilize the new IO-Link digital positioners to simplify condition monitoring and improve workflow efficiency through better data accessibility. The specialized socket weld connections provide users with increased protection against leaks in high-pressure service environments.
The takeaway
The move toward highly specialized valve trim, such as tungsten carbide, demonstrates an emphasis on component durability in high-stress applications. Implementing smart digital positioners allows facility managers to shift from scheduled maintenance to condition-based oversight.
