How to Choose the Right Directional Control Valves for Your Needs
Just about every type of hydraulic system uses a directional control valve. In a nutshell, this type of valve directs fluids to different areas of that system. Directional control valves determine how fluids begin to flow, and how they stop flowing. They also control the manner in which fluids move in reverse.
Directional valves will typically be under the control of a cylinder, a motor, or another kind of actuator. They’re extremely important to the proper functioning of your hydraulic system as a whole, so you need to make sure you’re purchasing the right type. Here are just a few to choose from.
- Spool valves – As the name implies, a directional spool valve contains a spool controlled by an actuator. Once the spool starts to move, that affects the movements of different channels inside the valve. These are usually fairly inexpensive valves, since they don’t need a lot of force to operate.
- Check valves – The hydraulic check valve is the most basic one on the market. It stops liquid from flowing in one direction, while letting liquid flow in a different direction. You might also know a check valve as a non-return valve. It contains a ball or a plate that controls the flow of liquid.
- Poppet valves – These valves contain a threaded connection that sits inside the housing. Also referred to as cartridge valves, poppet valves are very durable, last a long time, and perform very well – even in high-pressure applications.
