Parker Hannifin has announced the launch of its innovative VA130 mobile valve, completing the Parker VA Series valve portfolio, a cutting-edge solution designed to revolutionize mobile hydraulics. Drawing on decades of expertise in load-sensing directional control valves, the VA130 delivers industry-leading performance, exceptional controllability, and enhanced energy efficiency. Precision-engineered using high-grade materials, this valve offers unmatched flexibility and customization, enabling seamless integration into both simple and complex hydraulic systems across a broad range of applications.
The VA130 valve stands out for its modular design and versatility, allowing it to be tailored to meet virtually any hydraulic function requirement. As part of the VA Series, the VA130 is combinable with the VA450 and VA300, making it the ideal valve for compact valve solutions in machinery where there are varying needs in terms of flow. Combining the modularity and an extensive variety of valve functionalities and combination options, Parker provides customers with optimized solutions for their specific machine needs. The valve’s design incorporates function-adapted spools, pressure compensators, and load signal pressure limiters, all developed through Parker’s deep expertise in load-sensing technology. This innovative approach significantly reduces energy losses while boosting productivity, marking a new standard in energy-efficient hydraulic control.
In addition to its superior performance, the VA130 offers multiple actuation methods — hydraulic or electrohydraulic — with optional manual lever control available in any combination within the same valve. This flexibility is complemented by the ability to combine the VA130 with tailor-made function manifolds, crafted from Parker’s comprehensive product range, to fully customize auxiliary function control. This integration reduces the number of system components, simplifies hydraulic system design, and enhances overall reliability and ease of maintenance.
