When I was wet behind the ears in my hydraulic career, I was confused by the myriad pressure valves available to hydraulics. I came from a car wash background, where unloading valves are used to regulate the pressure of a piston pump. On the day in class where we discussed pressure valves, I had a […]

One valve, three functions
Comatrol, a global leader in the design, manufacture and sale of engineered hydraulic cartridge valves and hydraulic integrated circuits (HICs), today introduces the new SVP08-NCF solenoid valve. Recognizing the market need for single acting cylinder control with a focus on customization and flexibility, Comatrol developed this new solenoid with the intent to deliver three valve […]
The smart use of logic elements
By Darren Magner • Director of Marketing & Product Development • Comatrol Effective use of logic elements is key to designing cost-effective circuits, and is limited only by the imagination of the designer. Logic elements, often called differential sensing valves, are pressure control devices. Like directional control valves, a spring bias holds the spool in […]
What are hydraulic valves?
Hydraulic valves, in addition to the force density advantage of actuators, are what help make hydraulics unique in its control of force, torque and motion. Valves govern direction, pressure and flow of hydraulic fluid, enabling smooth, safe and controlled use of actuators. Every machine both requires and uses valves, varying vastly in execution from a […]
New line of Enrange mini wireless controls
Magnetek, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAG), a provider of digital power and motion control systems, announced the availability of their new line of lightweight, “miniature” transmitters. While retaining many of the capabilities found in the Company’s full size wireless controls, these compact, lightweight controls provide an effective yet economical solution for controlling small fluid-powered machines used in […]
