Manufactured from solid steel or cast iron, they impress with their durability and precision. With working pressures up to 210 bar, flow rates of 45–90 l/min, and connection sizes of 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4", they are ideal for agricultural, construction, and industrial applications. The valves are available in 12 V DC and 24 V DC versions and are largely interchangeable with solenoid valves from Bosch, Parker, Eaton, and Argo Hytos.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Hydromot 8/3-Way Valve (Selector Valve)
What exactly is a Hydromot 8/3-way valve and what is it used for?
A Hydromot 8/3-way valve, also known as a selector valve, is a versatile solenoid or manual valve that directs hydraulic flow from one source to up to three double-acting consumers (e.g. cylinders or hydraulic motors). It is used to expand hydraulic systems so that multiple functions can be operated with a single control unit. The valve has eight ports and three switching positions.
What maximum flow rates and connections are available for the 8/3 solenoid valves in the range?
The product range includes various models with different performance ratings:
- Solenoid valve with 3/8" connection and max. 45 l/min flow rate
- Solenoid valve with 1/2" connection and max. 60 l/min flow rate
- Solenoid valve with 1/2" connection and max. 90 l/min flow rate
What operating pressures do Hydromot 8/3 selector valves work with?
The 8/3 solenoid valves listed in the shop are designed for a maximum working pressure of 210 bar. Depending on the version, Hydromot 8/3 selector valves can handle working pressures between 210 and 320 bar.
Are Hydromot 8/3-way valves interchangeable with products from other brands?
Yes. The solenoid valves designed according to the 8/3-way configuration are largely interchangeable with products from other well-known manufacturers such as Bosch, Parker, Eaton, and Argo Hytos.
What materials are used for the housings of Hydromot selector valves?
The housings are made of corrosion-resistant solid steel or cast iron and feature a surface coating. The valves are manufactured in OEM quality and offer high resistance to pressure, wear, and environmental influences.
What voltage options are available for the electrically operated solenoid valves?
The electrically operated versions use solenoid coils that can be powered by different voltages. Available variants include:
- 12 V DC
- 24 V DC
- (other voltages may be available depending on the model)
The selection should correspond to the electrical system of the hydraulic installation.
What common connection threads are found on Hydromot selector valves?
The common connection threads for Hydromot selector valves — suitable for both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems — are:
- 3/8"
- 1/2"
- 3/4"
