"Hydraulic Control Valves" describes the three main types of control valves and their functions in a hydraulic system. Control valves control the direction, pressure, and flow rate of fluid as it ...

Electronics provide precise control of hydraulic actuators, such as this motor from Sauer Danfoss' H1 series. Effectively controlling large forces in hydraulic systems to make access equipment ...

Hydraulic circuits are comprised of cylinders, valves, pumps, and are connected via hydraulic pipes and tubes. The complexity of these components are difficult to represent fully so hydraulic symbol ...

In this episode of the Hitachi EX120-2 excavator rebuild, we tackle one of the most complex hydraulic components: the valve control block. This assembly is responsible for directing hydraulic flow to ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...
