Advantages of hydraulic valves
1. Directions
One of the most common tasks of hydraulic valves is to control the direction of hydraulic flow. Specifically, to direct fluid flow to hydraulic actuators, such as: cylinders or hydraulic motors. Thanks to valves, it is also possible to switch between different actuator movements, for example, an input and output cylinder movement.
2. Pressure control
Valves are used to control the pressure in the hydraulic system. Essential to keep pressure within safe and desired limits and to prevent components from being damaged by excessive pressure.
3. Flow rate control
Specific valves control the flow rate of hydraulic oil. Extremely important in controlled lifting and lowering of heavy loads.
4. Security and safety
Hydraulic valves are used for safety and security purposes. Examples include activating emergency stop functions, preventing overloading of components and isolating parts of the hydraulic system in case of malfunctions.
Almost anything is possible
There are different types of hydraulic valves, such as: directional valves, pressure control valves, flow control valves, proportional valves and logic valves. Choose the right type of valve for each application based on hydraulic system requirements and desired functionality.
