Manifolds and valves

The Role of Valves in Fluid Power Systems

Without correctly specified valves and directional controls, the operation of any hydraulic system would be impossible or highly dangerous. These components act as the "nervous system" of the machine. Directional control valves determine which actuator or motor receives the hydraulic fluid, allowing, for example, the lifting of an excavator arm. Meanwhile, safety valves perform a protective function, discharging excess oil to the reservoir when pressure rises to critical levels.

Flow Dividers - Precision Actuator Synchronization

A special highlight of our offer is our range of flow dividers (including precision gear flow dividers). These are advanced components used when it is necessary to supply two or more hydraulic cylinders from a single pump so that they operate at perfectly synchronized speeds—regardless of the varying loads acting on each individual actuator. Operating such systems without a flow divider leads to structural misalignment and dangerous failures.

What to Consider When Selecting Control Valves?

When purchasing control valves and directional valves, visual appearance is not enough. The key parameters for compatibility and safety include:

• Maximum nominal flow rate (expressed in liters per minute - L/min).

• Maximum operating pressure (bar).

• Port types and sizes (thread dimensions).

• Number of sections and spool scheme (e.g., open-center or closed-center configuration in the neutral position).

Our components are characterized by high parameter repeatability and full compatibility with popular machinery. Not sure which control element to choose? Contact us – we'll help you select the right solution.
