Directional Control Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: Enerpac offers a diverse range of hydraulic valves designed for safe operation up to 700 bar. These valves are suitable for various applications including directional, flow, and pressure control, and can be mounted directly on pumps or installed remotely. They are available in manual or solenoid actuation forms.
Pressure and Flow Control Valves: Enerpac provides pressure relief, shut-off, check, and sequence valves for enhanced hydraulic system control. These components are detailed in the 'System Components' section.
Directional Control Valves: The document outlines different types of directional control valves, including pump-mounted and remote-mounted options. Key features include:
  • Manual or solenoid operation.
  • Locking options for load-holding applications.
  • User-adjustable relief valves for setting working pressure.
Pump Mounted Directional Control Valves: These valves, such as the VM and VE series, support operations like Advance/Retract and Advance/Hold/Retract for single and double-acting cylinders. They include features like 'System Check' for precise pressure holding and improved control.
Remote Manual Directional Control Valves: VC-Series valves offer remote control for single and double-acting cylinders, with options for hydraulic locking using pilot-operated check valves.
Spring Centred Valve Kits: VM and VC-Series manual valves can be converted into spring-centred valves, allowing the handle to return to a neutral position automatically.
Additional Components: The document references additional fittings and gauges available in the 'System Components' section to minimize overloading risks and ensure reliable equipment service.
