Types of hydraulic valves
Hydraulic valves allow you to control the flow and pressure of liquid as it travels through the valve; this can sometimes be referred to as a pressure control system. Hydraulic manifolds are used to regulate the hydraulic fluid throughout the system and regulate flow control, and theyre made up of a collection of valves which create a key component in hydraulics.
Here are the different types of hydraulic available from us:
- Flow control valve - used to limit or allow hydraulic fluid flow through the manifold
- Directional control valve - enables you to control the fluid direction
- Spool valve - an inner component in a valve system
- Solenoid valve - an electromagnetic valve thats used to regulate valve opening Monoblock valve- used in a multi-sectional part of a hydraulic system
- Proportional valve - they rely on the statics to supply a reduced pressure to an output line
- Pressure control valve - this is used to relieve pressure in hydraulic systems
With manifolds, there are two key types; the single piece manifold which is used to withstand much higher pressures, and the modular manifold which is used to save space and only requires one hydraulic filter.
