Eaton introduces manual lever hydraulic valves

An Eaton Corp product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 8, 2009

Eaton Hydraulics Group has added a range of manual lever hydraulic valves (MLV9) to its Vickers screw-in cartridge valves (SICVs).

Intended for both mobile and stationary industrial applications at pressures up to 210 bar (3,000 psi), the valves are designed to be integrated into custom manifold blocks, or manifold circuit designs (MCDs) that combine multiple cartridge valves in a common manifold block.

MCDs are designed to offer cost savings and can be engineered either for the most complex hydraulic applications or simple designs involving a few cartridges.

The MLV9 series of manual lever valves, when used independently or included in an MCD, offer: fewer potential leakage points for a cleaner, safer application environment; very neat, compact assemblies that save weight and space; and efficient, low-maintenance systems with improved productivity via optimised circuitry.

Suitable for rugged environments such as off-highway equipment, wind power and steel mills, Eaton's manual lever valves can replace other manual valves including pull/push-to-shift, three-position, four-way, tandem centre, mobile sectional and manually operated industrial models.

They are offered in open centre, closed centre, tandem pool and motor spool configurations.

The motor spool features an open centre that permits a motor to freewheel when the valve is centred, rather than being brought to a stop.

Motor spools can also be used for directional control of cylinders in applications where the cylinder is free to move when not being extended or retracted.
