Size – NG 16 to NG 63
Pressure – Up to 350 bar (5,000 psi)
Flow – Up to 5,000 L/min (1,321 gal/min)
High-performance high-flow machines
Slip-in cartridge valves can enhance the performance of your machine through:
- Improved control of load-holding
- Lower pressure drops with less heat generation, providing greater machine efficiency
- Faster response time, enabling faster machine cycling for greater productivity
- Each cartridge can be tuned to reduce system shock, resulting in smoother machine operation
- Cartridges can be easily serviced without disturbing system piping, increasing machine uptime
Cost-saving design
- Each cartridge can be sized for the actual flow encountered, optimizing component size and cost
- Multi-function cartridges reduce the number of valving components required, resulting in lower machine costs
- Installation is easier and faster, reducing assembly costs
- Simple serviceability reduces maintenance time and costs
Cartridge valves are generally a good fit for systems that have:
- Flow rates exceeding 150 L/min (40 gal/min) and working pressure above 210 bar (3,000 psi)
- Small envelope size
- Complex circuitry
- Fast response
- Low internal leakage
- Good stability
- Low noise level
- Die casting and foundry
- Marine and offshore
- Presses
- Primary metals
- Plastics
- Pulp and paper
- Test equipment and simulation
- Turbine control (wind, steam, water)
- Wood processing
