Examples of ROSS/FLEX® Solutions

ROSS can repackage the existing, proven internal parts of standard products to your specifications, eliminating the need for life cycle testing. ROSS’s engineering design team can provide a unique solution that is designed to your requirements, delivered in days rather than weeks or months. At ROSS we want to ensure your needs are met quickly for an efficient turnaround, because we know waiting on a solution is valuable and wasted time. There are also no worries about being tied to one supplier for integration with all your other unites as the ROSS/FLEX® service can design and manufacture for compatibility with any brand. Some examples of what ROSS/FLEX® does:

  • Combining multiple functions into one body
  • Adapter plates to replace non-performing products
  • Customized port and pilot locations

ROSS/FLEX® - Poppet Valves

At ROSS, we offer innovative solutions and unsurpassed pneumatic technology with proven Solenoid Pilots and Poppet Valve designs. Through ROSS/FLEX® these solutions are delivered quickly for improvement in productivity and reduced costs in the harsh steel mill environment beyond heavy-duty construction.

ROSS poppet valves have positive sealing with no sliding action to prevent damage and wear. They are also self-cleaning and dirt tolerant thanks to the smallest flow-through area across the poppet’s seal and seat which produces a high-enough velocity to blow out all dirt and foreign matter. Plus, the valve is self-compensating.


Poppet Valve Design:

  • Perpendicular Face Sealing Poppets (a true poppet)
  • Positive Sealing throughout service life (minimal to zero leakage)
  • Self-compensating seals (long service life)
  • Self-cleaning valve design (increased uptime)
  • Positive Shifting due to large differential poppet areas (no sticking)
