Choose from common connection sizes such as G 3/8" and G 1/2", as well as versions with 12 V or 24 V actuation. Depending on the model, maximum flow rates of approx. 45–90 l/min and working pressures up to 210/250 bar are available — ideal for agricultural and construction machinery, municipal equipment, forestry, and industrial automation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about 6/2 Directional Valves / Selector Valves
What exactly is a 6/2 directional valve, and how does it work?
A 6/2 directional valve, also known as a selector valve, is a basic control element in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. It features two switching positions and six ports. Its main function is to redirect the flow between two consumers. By switching, one hydraulic circuit can be flexibly connected to two separate actuators — ideal for operating two independent functions in sequence using only one control unit.
What typical technical performance data do Hydromot valves feature?
Typical technical specifications include:
- Connection sizes: G 3/8", G 1/2"
- Max. flow rate: up to 90 l/min
- Max. operating pressure: up to 250 bar
What materials are 6/2 directional valves made of, and what advantages do these materials offer?
The housing is typically made of high-strength ductile iron, the internal components of hardened steel, and the seals of NBR rubber. This material combination provides:
- High load capacity and pressure resistance
- Resistance to vibration and wear
- Long service life even under demanding operating conditions
What are the key advantages of using 6/2 directional valves?
6/2 directional valves offer a range of advantages:
- Space and cost savings since only one control unit is required
- Fast switching (electrical actuation)
- Fewer potential failure points due to fewer components
- Robust design for high pressures and harsh environments
In which applications are 6/2 directional valves primarily used?
6/2 directional valves are mainly used in hydraulic systems to alternately control multiple consumers (e.g., cylinders or hydraulic motors). The main application areas include:
- Agricultural and construction machinery
- Municipal equipment and mobile work machines
- Forestry and industrial automation
What criteria are crucial when selecting the right valve?
Key selection criteria include:
- Maximum operating pressure and flow rate suitable for the system
- Connection size matched to existing lines
- Type of actuation: electrical, mechanical, or pneumatic
- Resistance to fluid, temperature, and environmental conditions
What types of 6/2 solenoid valves does the Hydromot shop offer?
The Hydromot shop offers directly operated 6/2 solenoid valves that are largely interchangeable with products from leading manufacturers such as Bosch, Parker, Eaton, and Argo Hytos.
