Flow control hydraulic valves

Flow control valves manage the flow by decreasing or increasing the opening at the throttling point. This helps to determine speed of movement for the actuators. The simplest design for a flow control valve is a needle or longitudinal slot mounted in the pipeline and connected to a screw that adjusts the opening at the throttling point. These are called throttle valves due to the fixed throttle, which changes the actual flow through the valve at varying loads.

The difference in pressure before and after the throttling point, i.e. the pressure drop (Δp), determines the rate of flow through the throttle valve at a particular setting. If the pressure drop over the throttling point remains the same, the flow of oil that passes the throttling point remains the same as well. This allows operation at constant speeds, regardless of the load. Pressure compensated flow control valves ensure that the pressure drop over the throttling point remains the same.

Damen Technical Agencies, B.V., also known as DTA Hydraulics, is a highly-specialised engineering sales company with core competence in hydraulic parts, equipment and machinery.

DTA has been serving your industry with the supply of hydraulic parts, components and as a Parker distributor hydraulics for more than 30 years. In 2010 we were fully qualified and certified as a distributor of hydraulics by Parker Hannifin. Together we developed a rapid delivery program for the genuine Denison Hydraulics Vane Technology.

DTA can be your one-stop-shop and supplies high-quality brands only such as Parker Hannifin (Denison Hydraulics, Olaer, Calzoni, VOAC, Sterling Hydraulics), Bosch Rexroth (Brüninghaus, Eppensteiner, Hägglunds, Hydromatik, Oil-Control), Bucher Hydraulics, Moog, STAR Hydraulics, Hydac and Eaton (Char-Lynn, Eaton Hydraulics, Integrated Hydraulics, Vickers).
