Comatrol-a global leader in the design, manufacture and sale of engineered hydraulic cartridge valves-introduces the new PSV12-34 proportional directional control valves. Responding to the demand for precision hydraulic controls with a focus on customization, compact size and flexibility, Comatrol developed the PSV12-34 proportional directional valve building off the popular PSV10-34 design. Optimized using computational fluid dynamics, the new PSV12-34 design is capable of industry-leading flow of 16GPM, higher than any other direct acting proportional directional cartridge valve in the market today.
In an industry where customers may see cartridge valves and HICs as flow and pressure limited, Comatrol is ready to convince them otherwise by introducing a micro-controller friendly twelve-size proportional directional valve that will compete with traditional industrial CETOP products, while providing an alternative to higher end proportional sectional valves. Although many customers are familiar with proportional CETOP valves on HICs, Comatrol is hoping the market will consider applying an equivalent proportional cartridge valve. For those machines that use proportional stack valves today, Comatrol provides a new solution where many of the sections are over-applied in terms of cost and weight per function.
The PSV10-34 and PSV12-34 products include both closed centre and float centre schematics with flows ranging from 3 LPM up to market-leading 60 LPM. The flow capacity allows the flexibility of cartridge technology to be applied on a broad range of applications and machines, including larger machines that require higher flow for cylinders and motors.
