Hydraulics & Automation Warehouse (HAW) recently introduced the Salami VDP08 load sensing valve to the hydraulic industry. The valve is ideal for a wide range of applications, mainly in the mobile field, where independent flow control of actuators is needed without being affected by load variations, and offers good metering characteristics that provide increased energy saving. The valve offers a more cost-effective solution than competitor products, and is easily retrofitted without having to change mounting specifications. It can be used in applications up to 130 l/min, and a maximum working pressure of 350 bar.
“This sectional directional control valve type has become popular in the industry, owing to the simplicity of the design, high tolerance and ability to function under extreme operating conditions and its excellent controllability,” explains general manager, Wynand Kellerman. “In addition, the many control positioning options available to the operator eliminate the need to add auxiliary components and additional pipe connections.” Other benefits of the valve include its modular design. “In the case of a malfunctioning valve section, the design feature means that only the faulty section needs to be replaced, and this can be done on site without having to remove the entire valve. The VDP08 load sensing valve can be ordered for use with both variable and fixed displacement pump applications.

Editor's Choice Hydraulic systems & components
Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. The progression of the water hammer shockwave needs to be detained and slowed before reaching the instrument sensor. SA Gauge manufactures several such devices in order to achieve this.
