The Operation of Directional Control Valves
Directional control valves are also commonly referred to as switching or directional valves. Their main function is to direct oil or other hydraulic fluid in the desired direction within the system.
Directional control valves can be found in many areas, such as industrial machinery, construction equipment, and agricultural vehicles.
The internal component of the valve (a piston or disc with sliding seals) moves, changing the flow of oil and performing the required motion.
Which Valve Should You Choose?
One of the best options on the market is the Eaton 4/3 directional valve, but selecting the right valve depends on several factors, such as size, standards, type, and maximum pressure.
Valve Maintenance
Directional control valves are in constant use, so it is especially important to monitor their condition. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure long service life and uninterrupted operation.
Removing oil contaminants and checking the quality of the hydraulic fluid are critical. Inspecting seals and mechanical components is also necessary.
Every Component Matters
Of course, in addition to directional control valves, many other components must be considered for the smooth operation of a hydraulic system. Our webshop offers everything you need for repair, maintenance, or replacement.
