Can you pneumatically, linearly control a hydraulic valve?
As far as positioning of the valve, hydraulic valves already exist in various ways of actuation. For example, you take a big DO8 valve which is a very large spool it’s an industrial valve. You would not make a DO8 with a lever because of what’s called flow forces. The pressure that is acting on […]
Pneumatic control valve
DEL Hydraulics has created a pneumatic solution for asphalt drivers who cannot spread with their current valves. The DEL DAV 120o has a RED SAFETY LIFT HANDLE that engages & disengages the Power Take off (PTO). The BLACK LIFT HANDLE controls the raising, neutral & controlled lowering of pneumatic shift cylinders on various dump pumps. […]

The L125 features good flow sharing parameters and multiple spool flow options. […]
A creative approach to mobile-hydraulic controls
Contributed by Adrian Feuz, Wandfluh AG In industrial applications, a superordinate PLC often takes on the coordination of processes and the control of individual components. With hydraulic functions, for example, position control of a hydraulic axis or pressure control of clamping or pressing actions are controlled by the PLC and corresponding electronics. In this case, […]
