Directional-control valves for mobile equipment

July 11, 2013
VP120 load-sensing directional-control valve uses flow sharing to handle issues associated with pump overdemand conditions. The most power dense valve in its flow category, the VP120 accepts up to 160-lpm (42-gpm) flow, features a work section output of 15 to 120 lpm (4 to 32 gpm), and is rated to 280 bar (4060 psi). The valve’s modular design allows adding or removing hardware depending on the application.

The valve’s modular design allows adding or removing hardware depending on the application. Key features include improved efficiency with a 30% fuel savings potential, induced load protection, a bypass unloader option, cavitation reduction, margin control, and pressure limitation.
