hydraulic control valve types

Hydraulic control  valves are  an integral part of a wide variety of  industrial machines and equipment,  which rely on  them for  accurate  regulation of both flow  and  pressure of hydraulic fluids.  Knowing  the various hydraulic control valves available in the market is important if you want  to make that perfect selection for your  machine. Different  types of  hydraulic control valves are available for use in different applications and for carrying out  different  functions. There are a few factors that  need to be included when choosing power  beyond hydraulic control valve, those are  flow rate, pressure rating,  and compatibility with  your hydraulic system.

 

Different Types  of Hydraulic Control Valves There are  many  different types  of hydraulic control valves  available. Some of  them are: Directional control  valves, Pressure  control valves,  Flow control valves, Proportional control  valves, etc.  D.C. valves control the  movement (direction)  of a  hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor by re-directing the  flow of hydraulic fluid. Regulators on the other hand, do not  allow the pressure within the  hydraulic system to exceed the set point to avoid  overpressure or even damage. Flow control  valves control the speed of hydraulic fluid  in a  hydraulic  system whereas proportional control  valves  give  fine  control over flow rate in accordance with input  signals.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Control Valve for Your Equipmen

Pneumatic and  hydraulic control  valves  generally  fall into one of several configurations including  spool, poppet, and cartridge. Spool  valves  are the most  common  type of  control valve,  which  has a  cylindrical spool that reciprocates with the hydraulic  fluid  flow.  Poppet-type  valves use  a  disc, spring loaded to prevent flow,  with fast response times and high pressure  ratings. Cartridge Valves are these small, one-piece, plug-in  relief valves that  are used in a hydraulic system  where  space is a factor and system design  is often trended toward one covering the first point.

When choosing  the  appropriate hydraulic  control valve, you must also take into account  things  such as flow rate,  pressure rating,  and the way  the control valve is operated. A valve  with an appropriate flow rate  must  provide what  is  needed  for  your hydraulic system to  work best.  The valves’ pressure capacity should align  with the pressure range of your hydraulic system  to avoid damage or failure. What’s more,  the appropriateness  of your  control, be it manual, solenoid,  or proportional,  can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of your machinery.
