Thanks to their robust construction with cast iron valve bodies (e.g., EN-GJL-300) and wear-resistant, hard-chromed pistons, they are ideal for flow rates of approx. 50–80 l/min and operating pressures of around 250–300 bar. Many models, such as the double-acting log splitter valve P81-RS with fast-advance mode and pressure shut-off, are perfectly suited for medium- to large-sized log splitters. Whether for professional forestry or private users – with suitable port sizes (often 1/2" or 3/4") our log splitter valves can be easily integrated into both stationary and mobile hydraulic log splitters.

 

Log Splitter Valves – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a log splitter valve?

A log splitter valve is a central hydraulic component of a log splitter that controls the movement of the splitting wedge. It allows the operator to precisely regulate hydraulic pressure and thus the splitting motion, which is essential for efficient and safe wood processing. These are specialised hydraulic control valves designed to control the splitting process reliably, efficiently and safely.

Which core functions are typically integrated in log splitter valves?

Log splitter valves are often designed to combine several functions in a single valve. These typically include the fast-advance mode (rapid cylinder extension with reduced force) and full splitting force at reduced speed. In addition, many models feature an automatic return and a hydraulic end shut-off to complete the splitting process comfortably and safely.

Which three positions do log splitter valves typically control?

Log splitter valves generally have three control positions to optimise the splitting cycle:

  • Fast-advance position: The cylinder extends quickly with reduced (partial) force to rapidly bring the splitting wedge to the log.
  • Splitting position: The cylinder operates more slowly but with full splitting force to split the wood in a controlled manner.
  • Return position: The cylinder retracts; the valve usually switches back to neutral automatically afterwards.

What are the main advantages of log splitter valves in operation?

The key advantages of log splitter valves include:

  • Time savings thanks to fast-advance mode for quick cylinder extension
  • Convenience due to automatic return and hydraulic end shut-off – the splitting cycle can often be completed hands-free
  • High splitting force during the actual splitting phase for efficient operation even with hard wood
  • Reduced wear due to optimised motion sequences and coordinated pressure and speed stages

What materials are log splitter valves made from?

The valve body is generally made from robust cast iron, e.g., EN-GJL-300, to withstand high pressures and mechanical loads. Pistons, spools and other moving components are made of carburised steel with hard chrome plating to ensure wear resistance and long service life. The design is often a monoblock construction to increase stability and minimise potential leakage points.

What typical technical data apply to log splitter valves?

The typical technical specifications of log splitter valves are:

  • Flow rate: Often in the range of approx. 50 to 80 l/min
  • Operating pressure: Typically rated up to 250 to 300 bar
  • Port sizes: Usually 1/2" or 3/4" for pressure, tank and work ports

What service life can be expected from a log splitter valve?

The service life of a log splitter valve largely depends on material quality, installation conditions and maintenance. With proper installation, the use of high-quality hydraulic fluids and regular servicing, a service life ranging from several years up to a decade can usually be expected.
