Hydraulic Valves

Hydraulics

Hydraulic valves are the precision control elements at the heart of every fluid power circuit. Directional control valves switch flow paths in as little as 20-80 ms, pressure relief valves protect systems up to 350 bar, and throttle check valves regulate flow from 0.1 to 500 L/min - all to ISO 4401 and ISO 1219 port and symbol standards. Seat valves achieve near-zero internal leakage (<1 cm³/min), while slide valves and intermediate plate designs allow modular stacking without external pipework, reducing installation time by up to 60 %.

fluidics-equipment.com stocks 467 hydraulic valve products across 12 subcategories - covering directional valves, pressure relief, throttle-check, hand lever, seat valves, and full system accessories. All major valve families conform to ISO 4401 (mounting interface), DIN 24340, and EN ISO 6403, ensuring direct interchangeability between brands and straightforward integration into existing manifold and connection-plate assemblies.

Up to 350 bar - operating pressure across seat, spool and relief valve families
0.1-500 L/min - flow range covered by throttle-check and directional valve series
???? ISO 4401 NG4-NG32 - standardised mounting interface for direct interchangeability
20-80 ms switching - fast solenoid response in directional control valves
???? <1 cm³/min leakage - poppet seat valves for zero-drift load holding (ISO 6403)
467 products in stock - DIN 24340 and EN ISO 1219 compliant across all 12 valve types
