Frequently Asked Questions

Can Gems customize valve configurations for our specific OEM system requirements?

Absolutely. We specialize in working directly with OEM design teams to deliver customized cryogenic valve solutions, including specific flow rates, orifice sizes, coil voltages, and material compatibility. Whether you're optimizing for footprint, durability, or integration, our engineers collaborate closely to align with your exact design specs.

How do Gems' cryogenic solenoid valves perform under rapid thermal cycling or high-purity gas environments?

Gems' cryogenic solenoid valves are engineered to withstand rapid thermal cycling without compromising seal integrity or response time. Our designs feature low thermal expansion materials, PTFE seals, and welded stainless-steel bodies to ensure performance in high-purity gas systems where contamination, particle shedding, or leakage is unacceptable. All valves are leak-tested and validated for compatibility with LN₂, LOX, CO₂, and similar cryogens.

What lead times and logistics support do you offer for EU-based manufacturing?

We maintain dedicated logistics support for the EU, with efficient lead times and global shipping capabilities. For high-volume OEM programs, we offer forecast-based planning, stocking agreements, and regional distributor partnerships to ensure supply continuity and minimal downtime.

Can we request samples for prototyping or in-house testing?

Yes, we offer evaluation samples for qualified OEMs conducting design validation or prototyping. Our team will work with you to understand your application needs and provide the most suitable valve configuration for testing. Sample requests are typically processed quickly, and we support documentation such as spec sheets, 3D models, and integration guides to accelerate your development timeline.
