A new range of manual lever hydraulic valves (MLV9) has been added to its Vickers screw-in cartridge valves (SICVs) by Eaton Hydraulics Group.
Intended for both mobile and stationary industrial applications at pressures up to 210 bar (3,000 psi), the new valves are designed to be integrated easily into custom manifold blocks, or manifold circuit designs (MCDs) that combine multiple cartridge valves in a common manifold block.
MCDs offer substantial cost savings and can be engineered either for the most complex hydraulic applications or simple designs involving a few cartridges. Among the advantages offered by the new MLV9 series of manual lever valves when used independently or included in an MCD are:
• Fewer potential leakage points for a cleaner, safer application environment.
• Very neat, compact assemblies that save weight and space.
• Highly efficient, low maintenance systems with improved productivity via optimized circuitry.
Suiyable for such rugged environments as off-highway equipment, wind power and steel mills, Eaton's new manual lever valves can replace other manual valves including pull/push-to-shift, three-position, four-way, tandem centre, mobile sectional, and manually-operated industrial models. They are offered in open centre, closed centre, tandem pool, and motor spool configurations.
The motor spool features an open centre that permits a motor to freewheel when the valve is centred, rather than being brought to a stop. Motor spools can also be used for directional control of cylinders in applications where the cylinder is free to move when not being extended or retracted.
The new MLV9 series manual lever valves are part of Vickers’ range of high-performance SICVs which covers sizes up to –20, pressures up to 350 bar and 150 l/min. flow rating with direct acting, proportional and solenoid, flow control, pressure control and directional control models. All Vickers SICVs are National Fluid Power Association rated to guarantee high performance.
