Z50 3/8 Directional Control Valve with Metering Curve

Z50 A1 GKZ1 | Z50-A1-GKZ1 | Z50A1GKZ1

Directional control valves are one of the core elements in a hydraulic system. They help directing the fluid to different components such as hydraulic cylinders or motors.

Directional control valves perform three functions:

1. Stop fluid flow
2. Allow fluid flow
3. Change direction of fluid flow.

There is a part called «spool» inside control valve which can be operated mechanically or electrically. The movement of the spool lets oil flow or blocks the oil flow in other words it controls the movement of fluid. Hydropack provide monoblock directional control valves with different capacities and spool control options.

There are grooves and notches on Z50 spools. These grooves and notches provide lubricating oil film, less internal leakage and smooth transaction between working ports.

* Spool is open center “A” spool with spring return. Working port threads (A & B) are G 3/8".

* Max. Pressure P: 315 bar, T: 50 bar, A-B: 300 bar
