Four new proportional directional valves are a cost-effective replacement to on-off electrical actuation solutions. They provide circuit design flexibility, take up little space, and offer light weight and low power consumption from current draw. T
he family includes 10 and 12 series sizes in both closed center and float center schematics, with maximum flows ranging from 3 to 60 lpm. They are rated to 260 bar and are available as 3-position, 4-way for bi-directional control of hydraulic cylinders and motors.

In a departure from conventional wisdom, motion control can be implemented to increase production rate and product quality and consistency—all at the same time.
Newcomers to medical device design may think pressure and flow rate are sufficient parameters whenselecting a pump. While this may be true in some industrial applications, medical...
Variable volume pumps, also known as precision dispense pumps, are a positive displacement pump that operates by retracting a piston to aspirate a fluid and then extending the...
Acheck valve, a non-return or one-way valve, is a mechanical device that allows a gas or liquid to flow freely in one direction while preventing reverse flow in the opposite ...
Engineers tasked with managing fluid flow talk about both holes and calibrated orifices, but they are two distinct entities. A hole can be any opening, but a calibrated orifice...
