Theory of Operation 
 

The CAM200 is an all plastic handheld dispense valve that uses a unique “floating 

diaphragm” design. This valve is designed with a wand style body to make it more 
ergonomic for a variety of handheld applications. The all plastic construction allows 
adhesives such as Cyanoacrylates and Anaerobics to be dispensed through the valve along 
with a variety of other low to medium viscosity fluids. Applications  can include 
dispensing dots, beads, or for potting.     

The CAM200 has one body to house the fluid and piston & lever section.  These include: 

1)  Piston & Lever section (Aluminum top cap with spring loaded lever) 

2)  Fluid section (Delrin body with Teflon diaphragm) 

The piston & lever section and fluid section are separated by a diaphragm that is 

clamped in between the two pieces.  The  piston & lever section is an aluminum top cap 
that houses a spring loaded piston which presses against the diaphragm to keep the valve 
in the closed position. When  the lever is depressed it will raise the piston off the 
diaphragm allowing it to float upward  to  dispense  fluid  through the wand style body to 
the dispense tip. 

   

Wetted parts on the CAM200 include: 

- Delrin 

- Teflon 

- Polyethylene
