Load sense directional control valves (DMV)
Our load sense directional control valve, also called a directional mobile valve (DMV), is a sectional mobile valve that provides spool position control using a direct-acting electric solenoid. The DMV has a closed-center parallel or series circuit design but can also function as an open-center circuit if unloading inlet options are used.
Features and benefits
- Provides load sense and PO check capability for closed- and open-circuit solutions
- Fully encapsulated solenoid coils—impervious to common industrial fluids
- Coils can be removed and replaced quickly and easily
- Various voltage control and connection options available
- IP65/67/69K coils ratings, dependent upon connection
- ON/OFF soft shift feature available to provide smoother control of actuator acceleration and deceleration than possible with conventional solenoid valves
Applications
- Aerial work platforms
- Mini-excavators
- Lawn tractors
- Backhoes
- Telehandlers
- Material handling equipment
