Motion control valves

Overcenter and motion-control valves provide static and dynamic load control by regulating flow into and out of hydraulic actuators. With pressure ratings up to 430 bar [6,200 psi] and flow ratings up to 300 l/min [80 US gal/min], these valves improve machine stability and efficiency while eliminating valve noise and protecting against runaway loads if a hose bursts.

Features and benefits 

  • These valves are capable of improving machine stability and efficiency while eliminating valve noise.
  • They provide static and dynamic control of loads by regulating the flow into and out of hydraulic actuators.
  • They can stop runaway loads in the event of a hose burst when installed close to an actuator.
  • An extensive offering is available, including standard, part-balanced, fully balanced, counterbalanced, and zero-differential designs.
  • Designs are available from -8 size to -20 size, enabling correct valve sizing for almost all applications.
  • Low leakage designs prevent a load from dropping due to hose failure or directional valve leakage.
  • An integrated relief valve offers protection against pressure shocks caused by external forces or overrunning loads.
  • Multiple pilot ratios are available to optimize performance under various load conditions.
  • Valve cartridges are made of hardened and ground steel for maximum durability and reliability.
