Selecting Manual Directional Control Valves - Presented by Steve Skinner

Directional control valves are probably the most common of all hydraulic components and are used to control the starting, stopping and reversal of flow in a system. They are often associated with the control of a hydraulic actuator, such as a cylinder or motor, to select either &#;forward, reverse or stop&#; but can also be used anywhere in a system where flow needs to be switched between alternative paths.

Choosing the right valve for controlling system pressure, flow direction, and flow rate is essential in fluid power circuitry design. This guide highlights the top five considerations when specifying directional valves for pneumatic applications. Learn about the function and how to determine valve type based on the required action. Explore actuator styles including manual, mechanical, solenoid, and air pilot options. Understand the importance of the valve matching the needed flow rate and how to verify the valve performs well at your system's pressure. Optimize performance and reliability by making informed decisions. For more details, contact Pneumadyne at 763-559- or This address is being protected from spambots.
