What Is A Hydraulic Valve?

Hydraulic valve is an automatic component operated with pressure oil, it is controlled by pressure valve pressure oil, usually combined with electromagnetic pressure valve, can be used for remote control of hydropower station oil, gas, water pipeline system. The role of the hydraulic valve is mainly to control the pressure, flow and direction of the liquid in the hydraulic system.

Hydraulic valves are usually composed of control valves, direction control valves and flow control valves. Among them, the control valve is mainly used to control the flow direction and pressure of hydraulic oil; Direction control valve is mainly used to change the direction of liquid flow; The flow control valve is mainly used to regulate the flow of liquid.

Common hydraulic valves include: 

1. Direction control valve: used to control the flow of liquid in the hydraulic system, including check valves, reversing valves, throttle valves, etc. 

2. Pressure control valve: used to control the pressure in the hydraulic system, including safety valves, relief valves, pressure reducing valves, etc. 

3. Flow control valve: used to control the flow of liquid in the hydraulic system, including throttle valves, proportional valves, etc. 

4. Proportional control valve: according to the input electrical signal or mechanical signal, control the pressure, flow and other parameters in the hydraulic system, including electro-hydraulic proportional valves, servo valves, etc. 

5. Logic control valve: according to the input signal, control the linkage of multiple valves in the hydraulic system, including logic valves, sequence valves, etc. 

6. Other types of hydraulic valves: including distribution valves, isolation valves, one-way pressure reducing valves, etc.

Hydraulic valves are also widely used in ships, mainly involving Marine equipment including steering gear, Marine crane, unloader and so on. These equipment plays a key role in the operation of the ship, and the hydraulic valve mainly plays the role of controlling the flow, pressure and direction of the hydraulic oil to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
