The DPS2-16-P-F-0-160 cartridge valve is manufactured by Vickers and belongs to the Vickers Hydraulic Accessories series. It is intended for hydraulic automation where a screw-in cartridge form simplifies manifold integration. The valve fits a C-16-3S cavity and functions as a spool that is normally closed, so flow is blocked until pilot pressure is applied. A pilot ratio of 1:1 ensures the spool shifts when pilot and load pressures are equal. The unit tolerates system pressures up to 290 bar while maintaining a differential pressure of 11.0 bar across the element in normal operation. Maximum rated flow is 189 L/min, allowing high-volume circuits to be controlled through the insert. The cartridge weighs 0.35 kg and is supplied as a cartridge only, meaning port connections are defined by the manifold rather than the valve body.
Internal leakage is limited to 82 cm³/min to minimize energy loss when the spool is closed. For fluid cleanliness, Vickers recommends a filtration level of 18/16/13 so component wear remains within design limits. Sealing is handled by Buna-N elastomers, giving compatibility with common hydraulic oils. There is no stroke adjustment, so the spool travel is factory fixed. Overall dimensions measure 87.630 mm in length, 38.100 mm in height, and 38.100 mm in width, supporting compact block layouts. These attributes meet the needs of automated hydraulic systems that require predictable shut-off performance within constrained envelope sizes.
