Hydraulic control valves

Directional control valves are an integral part of hydraulic and pneumatic systems as they control the direction of the flow of fluid or air along a circuit. Through opening or closing and altering the route of flow, these valves dictate the movement of actuators such as hydraulic motors or cylinders. They are manufactured in several designs, including rotary, poppet, and spool valves, and may operate manually, electrically, or hydraulically. Directional control valves are key to maintaining precise and reliable movement of machinery within manufacturing, construction, and agriculture industries.
