HydraForce’s hydraulic solenoid valves feature electromagnetic actuators to control flow and come in several types: poppet, spool and needle.
Poppet-type valves are typically two-way (on/off) valves for load-holding or blocking applications requiring low internal leakage.
Spool-type valves are available in a greater variety of configurations, including two-, three-, four- and six-way flow patterns to handle multiple hydraulic functions.
Needle-type valves have similar applications to poppet valves but have a thin needle acting on an orifice instead of a round poppet or cylindrical spool for more precise low flow hydraulic control of hydraulic flow.
Integral position sensing is now available on select solenoid valve models.
