Our float center directional control valve
features dual solenoid operators (220V AC/24V DC) with 2.5x faster response than industry average. The secret? Patented spool geometry reduces pressure drop to 0.35 MPa at 100 L/min flows.
Spec | Our Valve | Typical Competitors |
---|---|---|
Max Pressure | 350 bar | 250-300 bar |
Cycle Life | 2.1 million | 800,000 |
Cast Iron Price | $428-$575 | $500-$700+ |
Think you're saving with that $380 cast iron valve? Calculate again. Our ISO 17209-certified valves last 7.2 years vs. competitors' 3-year average. That's 140% longer service life—translating to $18,400 savings per valve lifecycle.
Need 450 bar working pressure? Require NACE MR0175 compliance? Our modular design allows 48+ configuration variants. Tell us your flow requirements (15-600 L/min), port sizes (1/2" to 2"), and control type—we'll ship in 18 working days.
When Rio Tinto upgraded to our valves in 2023, their hydraulic shovels saw:
Since 2008, we've delivered 37,000+ directional control valves across 18 industries. Your hydraulic system deserves the precision of ISO 9017-certified cast iron components.

A: A float center directional control valve is a type of hydraulic valve that allows fluid flow to continue freely in its neutral position, enabling equipment like cylinders or motors to move without resistance. It is commonly used in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems.
A: Directional control valves direct fluid flow to specific pathways, controlling the movement of actuators like cylinders or motors. They are essential for starting, stopping, and adjusting the direction of hydraulic power in machinery.
A: The price of cast iron directional control valves depends on size, pressure rating, brand, and market demand. Cast iron is often chosen for its durability and cost-effectiveness compared to materials like steel or brass.
A: Cast iron is preferred for directional control valves due to its high strength, wear resistance, and ability to withstand high-pressure environments. It also offers a lower cost compared to alternative materials.
A: Unlike closed-center valves, a float center valve allows free fluid flow in the neutral position, enabling equipment to "float." This design is ideal for applications requiring passive movement, such as conveyor systems or mobile machinery.
