Directional Control Valves

Vickers Directional Control Valves is a fundamental hydraulic component used to guide fluid flow from a source to an actuator, essentially directing the path of motion in a machine. These valves are crucial for starting, stopping, accelerating, decelerating, and reversing the motion of hydraulic cylinders or motors in systems like machine tools, presses, and mobile equipment. Operating by shifting an internal element, typically a spool, they create or block flow paths between the system's ports (ways), with common configurations being 4-way, 2 or 3-position models. The Vickers Directional Control Valve has long been an industry standard, renowned for its wet-armature solenoid operation, high pressure and flow capabilities, and robust construction. Their precise and dependable fluid switching capability maximizes machine uptime and provides essential control for complex hydraulic circuits.
