Manufacturers of Pneumatic & Electronic Control Devices

History

William L. Clippard, Jr. founded Clippard Instrument
Laboratory in 1941. The initial product line consist-
ed of electrical test equipment, magnetic windings,
and radio frequency coils. The first miniature fluid
power devices designed and built by Clippard were
for use in the manufacture of this equipment. In the
early 1950's, Clippard introduced
Minimatic® components as a new
product line. The need for miniature
pneumatics was so widespread, that
the Minimatic line was successful
enough to become Clippard's primary
product line.

Today, Clippard pneumatic control devices are used virtually everywhere for control, interface, sensing, logic, and actuation functions. This broad range of applications spans a variety of industries including machinery, textiles, medical equipment, animation, material handling, assembly, electronics, food processing, packaging and many more.

The complete Minimatic line includes over 5,000

standard products. Some of the many products
offered include valves, cylinders, fittings, modular
components, push buttons,
stainless steel cylinders,
FRLs, electronic manifold
cards, circuit analyzers
and pre-piped manifold
subplates. Special compo-
nents designed for
customer's OEM
applications are also
welcomed.

Minimatic® is a registered trademark of Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc.
