Rexroth expands its range of Modular Directional Valves

The new size complements Rexroth’s comprehensive range of modular directional valves, which now covers workflows of up to 50 litres/min. Although based on NG4/NG6 technology, the valves avoid sub-plates and can be easily tailored to specific workflow requirements – especially when compared to standard CETOP (Comité Européen des Transmissions Oléohydrauliques et Pneumatiques) solutions.

The modularity of the system allows for the number of sections to be expanded easily by the end user in the event more functions are required of the machine. The individual sections come in different size options with one common interface. This ensures cost effectiveness, since the engineer can choose the appropriate size per section according to the required flow.

Furthermore, the modular valve design provides for sections with integrated load sensing, as well as other integrated functions such as check valves, relief valves, counterbalance valves, flow regulators, emergency hand levers and emergency hand pumps. With this modular approach, Rexroth enables its customers to build bespoke and compact solutions and still benefit from the cost and quality advantages of standard components.

A variety of portings and coil connections are available. In addition, this line of sectional valves can be connected to Rexroth power modules and integrated control blocks with cartridges and other valves to create hybrid systems.
