Daman now offers thermal deburring for its manifolds
Daman Products now offers thermal deburring services for standard and custom manifold projects. Thermal deburring completely removes all burr particles to ensure manifolds are 100% free of burr contamination while replacing the previous manual deburring process that is known to cause employee stress and introduce the potential for human error. One of the most prevalent […]
Steer-by-wire valve for mobile machinery applications
Parker Hannifin has launched a mobile directional control valve that can be used in a steer-by-wire system for earth-moving equipment and other types of mobile machinery. This high-performance single fault tolerant valve is designed to support the ongoing evolution and trend for electrification of vehicles in this market. Over the years, orbitrol steering has become […]
Pressure-sensing compensating valves for accurate flow regulation
Hydac is pleased to introduce the ultra compact DW06V series of pressure compensating valves. The screw-in cartridge, pressure sensing compensator is rated for 5,000 psi and 4 gpm and offers the following features and benefits: Connect inline with a fixed or variable orifice to provide accurate flow regulation Ideal for handling small flow control needs with great […]
Load-sensing proportional directional valve for low-flow applications
Eaton today announced the launch of its SLV20 load-sensing proportional directional valve, a flexible priority-flow-sharing solution for mini and micro machinery. Compared to traditional cast iron control valves, Eaton’s SLV20 valve offers greater flexibility and control as well as space and weight savings for low-flow applications. Eaton’s SLV20 valve brings priority flow sharing to low-flow […]
High-flow divider-combiner valve for heavy-duty applications
Webtec has unveiled a new high-accuracy hydraulic flow divider-combiner valve called the FDC140. Ideal for driving two cylinders or motors in close unison regardless of individual loads or flow direction, this high-flow spool valve is the big brother of the current FDC60. The ‘140’ in the name indicates a larger flow capacity of 140 lpm […]
Proportional directional control valves in size 6 cavity
Hydac is pleased to announce the introduction of the new PWK06J series of proportional directional control valves. The series is currently available in Motor Spool “J,” with a closed center option to follow. Though the size is small, the features are big and include: Compared to any other 3-position, 4-way proportional directional valve, this is […]
D03 common cavity sandwich modules simplify valve function additions
D03 Common Cavity Sandwich Modules from Daman provide an easy way to add a valve function into an existing directional control valve circuit with no additional line plumbing. Daman’s line of D03 common cavity sandwich, or stack, modules allows distributors greater flexibility and control over a variety of valve functions, including flow and pressure controls, and […]
Throttle check valve provides precise control in mobile machinery
In hydraulic systems, the actuator, typically one cylinder, must exhibit smooth-start acceleration to be able to guarantee safety, comfort and extreme durability. No one wants to sit in an excavator and move the joystick only to watch the boom shoot forward at full speed, scaring those working nearby, jolting the excavator driver and, what’s more, […]
Excavator pipe-rupture valve has flat design
Bucher Hydraulics has introduced the newly designed excavator pipe-rupture valve CFS-EF, or “CFS-Flat.” Reportedly an innovative extension of the company’s family of CFS pipe-rupture valves, the new version is based on proven technology and, with a flat design, allows for ready installation on lift cylinders without a sandwich plate. Bucher developed the series CFS (Compact […]
