SC 18 Series Proportional Valves, Sectional Design

These sectional proportional valves regulate the flow rate to the actuator by means of an internal closed-loop control system. Load-independent flow control is guaranteed by individual pressure compensators upstream of each proportional direction valve (load-sensing principle). These features are accomplished via a compact sectional design, actuator modules with individual pressure compensators and optional pressure relief valve (primary or secondary), and load-independent flow control, even with parallel operation of several actuators.
