FAQS on sectional valve

Q: What is a sectional valve in hydraulic systems?

A: A sectional valve refers to a multi-part directional control valve stack that allows customized flow configurations by combining multiple valve sections. It's commonly used in complex hydraulic systems requiring precise flow control across circuits.

Q: How do directional control valves work with double-acting cylinders?

A: Directional control valves regulate airflow to both ports of double-acting cylinders, enabling push-pull movement. They typically use 5/3 or 5/2 configurations to control extension, retraction, and neutral positions of the cylinder.

Q: What distinguishes air directional control valves for double-acting cylinders?

A: These valves feature dual exhaust ports and four-way flow paths to manage bidirectional piston movement. They're specifically designed to handle compressed air requirements and rapid cycling in pneumatic systems with double-acting actuators.

Q: Why choose sectional valves over single-unit directional valves?

A: Sectional valves offer modular customization for complex systems, enabling multiple functions in one manifold. They simplify maintenance by allowing individual section replacement rather than full valve changes.

Q: What factors determine directional control valve selection for cylinders?

A: Key factors include operating pressure range, flow capacity, valve actuation method (manual/electrical/pneumatic), and required port sizes. For double-acting cylinders, ensure the valve has adequate flow paths and center position functionality.
