Directional control valves

Our full line of directional control valves includes both manually and hydraulically actuated options for flows up to 265 l/min [70 gal/min] and pressures up to 450 bar [6,500 psi]. Multiple sizes and schematic types are available, and hydraulically actuated spool valves are offered in normally open or normally closed two-way, three-way, or four-way styles. These two-position valves are spring biased to a neutral position and use hydraulic pressure between 3 bar and 10 bar [40 psi and 150 psi] to shift the spool.

Features and benefits 

  • Manual valves allow for actuation without an electronic signal. 
  • Hydraulically piloted valves can be combined with small pilot solenoids to create high flow directional control. 
  • 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way schematics allow virtually unlimited circuit combinations. 
  • Directional valves are useful for high flow with pilot pressure controlled by solenoid valves.  
  • Directional valves can be used as bypass valves for flow dividers in vehicle traction circuits.
  • Flexible configuration for use in a wide variety of applications.
