Pneumatic, hydraulics valves

Pneumatic Valves

Pneumatic valves are one of an array of components responsible for controlling the pressure, rate, and amount of air as it moves through a pneumatic system. Pneumatic systems, which depend on the force of compressed air to transmit power, can be found in countless industrial flow control applications, from pneumatically operated power tools to diesel engines. Based on other components within a given application and the type of pneumatic system used, one of several types of pneumatic control valves may be found at the heart of the device.

 

Hydraulic Valves

A hydraulic valve properly directs the flow of a liquid medium, usually oil, through your hydraulic system. The direction of the oil flow is determined by the position of a spool. A hydraulic system can only function - as per requirements - by using valves. Thus, you should always look for the correct type of hydraulic valve to serve your intended purpose. The required size is determined by the maximum flow of the hydraulic system through the valve and the maximum system pressure.

Hydraulic valves are available in a variety of sizes and according to multiple International Standards. Hydraulic valves are available with many different mounting styles: e.g. mounting in pipe lines, with threaded connection as cartridge valves, subplate mounting or flanged mounting. Hydraulic valves are subdivided into three main categories: directional control valves, pressure control valves and flow control valves. All valves operate a different function in the hydraulic system.
