With maximum flow rates up to 160 l/min, operating pressures up to 350 bar and standardized G 3/4" ports, they are ideal for demanding applications such as hydraulic presses or log splitters. The robust, zinc-coated steel housings are designed for continuous high-pressure operation, while a recommended filtration rating of 30 microns ensures reliable function. Our rapid-traverse and differential valves in the Hydromot hydraulics shop help you reduce energy consumption, shorten process times and operate your hydraulic systems more efficiently.

 

Rapid-traverse / differential valves for line-mounted installation – Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a rapid-traverse / differential valve and what is it used for?

A rapid-traverse / differential valve for line-mounted installation is a hydraulic valve used to increase the extension speed of hydraulic cylinders.

It is mainly used for no-load or return strokes, where high speeds are advantageous.

The valve controls the oil flow on the return side of the cylinder via a differential pressure control, thereby enabling the rapid traverse mode.

How does this valve influence cylinder speed?

Due to the valve function, the cylinder speed during the no-load stroke can be up to twice as high as in normal operation.

The valve utilizes the return flow and partially directs it to the piston-side chamber, thereby increasing the flow rate during the extension stroke.

This increases efficiency, saves time and boosts productivity in applications with recurring no-load movements.

In which machines are rapid-traverse / differential valves typically used?

Rapid-traverse / differential valves are used wherever a high cylinder speed during no-load movement is beneficial.

Typical applications include:

  • Hydraulic presses
  • Log splitters
  • Machines with recurring lifting or positioning strokes
  • General hydraulic systems that require fast no-load movements

What typical technical specifications do these valves have?

Typical technical parameters of a rapid-traverse / differential valve in line-mounted design are:

  • Maximum flow rate: 160 l/min
  • Maximum operating pressure: 350 bar
  • Pressure setting range: typically 60 to 350 bar
  • Recommended filtration rating: 30 microns

What materials are rapid-traverse / differential valves made of and which ports do they have?

Rapid-traverse / differential valves are generally made of corrosion-resistant, zinc-plated steel or similarly robust materials to withstand high pressure loads.

The valves feature a stable, pressure-resistant design for demanding hydraulic applications.

The commonly used ports are usually threaded G 3/4" connections.

What are the key criteria when selecting a suitable rapid-traverse / differential valve?

Selecting a suitable rapid-traverse / differential valve depends on several critical factors:

  • Required flow rate
  • Maximum operating pressure
  • Matching port sizes
  • Pressure setting range
  • Compatibility with the hydraulic system parameters

How do these valves contribute to system efficiency?

Rapid-traverse / differential valves enable a significantly increased cylinder speed during no-load movements.

This not only results in shorter work cycles, but also in higher energy efficiency, as the differential pressure control makes effective use of the return flow.

The valves therefore make a major contribution to increasing productivity and optimizing energy consumption.

Are these valves maintenance-intensive?

The maintenance effort for rapid-traverse / differential valves is relatively low.

  • Regular inspection of seals to detect leaks at an early stage
  • Functional checks of the valve to ensure correct differential operation
  • Clean hydraulic oil significantly increases service life

High-quality valves typically achieve a service life of several years in continuous hydraulic operation.
