Three-way directional control valves in automatic machine control

Why use a three-way directional control valve in automatic machine control? It can be useful to many pull-behind scraper applications. It makes it possible for the wheels to never leave the ground, because they are not powered in the "wheels up" direction. Read more about three-way directional control valves here: http://www.flinthyd.com/directional-control-valves.html, and call Bill O'Donnell with Flint Hydraulics today at 901-794-4884.

Mobile directional control valves

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Blade position on a grade-cutting machine is maintained by means of a directional control valve alone or by load-holding valves such as counterbalance valves or pilot operated check valves. The tech's challenge is to overcome negative functional consequences like hydraulic system inefficiency, system damage, inadequate control, and sloppy appearance. A mobile directional control valve overcomes all of the above. Need help with your mobile application? Call us today at 901-794-4884 or email sales@flinthyd.com.

The Purpose of a Machine Control Valve System

Here's another Flint Hydraulic Tech Tip: The grade-cutting blade of a machine must be controlled in three ways: direction, speed and position. A hydraulic directional control valve, as the name implies, controls the direction of oil flow in a hydraulic system. Flow direction determines the direction of the hydraulic cylinder (extension/retraction) which, in turn, moves the machine's blade (up/down; tilt right/left; side shift right/left).

Danfoss Proportional Valve Groups

PVG stands for Proportional Valve Group, and the PVG series is certainly the highest quality and most adaptable mobile hydraulic directional control valve on the market. However, PVG valves are not limited to configurations as electro-hydraulic proportional valves. Other configurations include on/off solenoids, hydraulic pilot operators, pneumatic operators and manual handles. And most of these actuators can be mixed with one valve stack.

Comatrol hydraulic valves and components

Flint Hydraulics represents the Comatrol brand of screw-in and slip-in cartridge valves. This comprehensive line includes pressure control valves, directional control valves, flow control valves, logic elements, proportional control valves and several specialty valves. These versatile hydraulic valves can be used as stand-alone devices or can be built into custom manifolds. When combined with a Comatrol HIC manifold, a cartridge valve can control virtually any mobile or industrial hydraulic application. Flint Hydraulics stocks a substantial inventory of Comatrol products to meet your cartridge valve requirements. Call us today at 901-794-4884 or visit http://www.flinthyd.com/comatrol.html.
