We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Directional Control Valves",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Valve terminal cuts component count for designers from
Festo, which we summarised at the time by saying "Festo's VTSA valve terminal is supplied as a fully assembled and pre-tested unit, enabling users to effectively replace an entire control panel with a single order".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Directional control valves suit mobile equipment from
Parker Hannifin: "The P70 pressure-compensating spool range offers exceptional levels of efficiency and accuracy by minimising pressure drop and heat generation across the valve".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin
concerning its B Series
- take a look at Pneumatic valves compensate for wear
which says: "Parker Hannifin has released an innovative new range of pneumatic directional control valves for use in a variety of factory and automation applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Integrated Hydraulics, Solenoid operated directional control valves,
as well as Control valves offer high flow in compact unit from Parker Hannifin,
and New Berendsen hydraulic directional control valve from Primary Fluid Power.
