Alps Electric develops a new line of miniature pump valves

Alps Electric has developed a series of new fuel cell system micropumps and microvalves. Alps has begun to enter the new energy market through the development of pumps and valves, as pumps and valves are essential aids for controlling and operating the fuel inside the fuel cell system, such as methanol. Alps has optimized its holistic design through structural design processes, such as simulation analysis in addition to control functions. These characteristics and high-precision processing techniques contribute to the miniaturization of the product.


The micropump has a diameter of only 6.0 mm and a length of 24.0 mm; the microvalve has a diameter of only 3.5 mm and a length of 10.3 mm (including the nozzle). Although these products are small, they can be guaranteed to be highly functional by integrated flow rate and simulation analysis of structures and magnetic fields. This development has undoubtedly contributed a lot to its miniaturization, and miniaturization is an indispensable prerequisite for portable batteries.

Through membrane operation design, valve backflow design, and optimization of materials and planning, Alps has been able to effectively control large flows in a small valve chassis. Moreover, this product requires only a small voltage electromagnetic drive system, which makes a small contribution to simple control and fuel cell system engineering.

Micropumps and valves

Alps has developed a range of micropumps and microvalves for fuel cell systems. Alps has commenced its approach to the new energy market through the development of pumps and valves, which are auxiliary machines that circulate or control fuel like methanol within the fuel cell system. Alps has optimised its designs through structural design technologies such as structure analysis simulation in addition to control technology. These features, along with high-precision processing technologies have helped to miniaturise these products. The micropump is 6.0mm in diameter and 24.0mm in length, The microscopy measures 3.5mm in diameter and 10.3mm in length (excluding the nozzle). The products are small but ensure high functionality by incorporating fluid, structure and magnetic field analysis simulations. Development will contribute to enhanced miniaturisation, an indispensable prerequisite for portable device Fuel cells. Through the optimal design of diaphragm operations, valve confi Guasting to prevent fluid backflow, materials and layout, Alps has achieved the effective control of larger amounts of fluid in a smaller chassis for its micropump. The unit also employs low-voltage electromagnetic drive systems, which contribute to easy control and fuel cell system engineering .
