Discover hydraulic control blocks (valve blocks/hydraulic distributors) for the precise control, distribution and pressure regulation of hydraulic oil
in mobile machines and industrial plants. Learn more...
1 to 2 (from a total of 2)
Our customised solutions combine flow-optimised channels and valves (e.g. pressure control, flow control and shut-off valves) in a compact design made of aluminium, steel or cast iron – for maximum efficiency and leak safety. Choose from preconfigured systems such as NG06 3C2 (24 V) for three double-acting actuators, or expand to 4-station base plates with 4/3- and 4/2-way valves, optionally with a pressure relief valve and pilot-operated check valves. Thanks to precise, application-matched design, you can increase performance, control motion and forces, and reduce pressure losses across the entire hydraulic system. Many items are available for fast delivery, enabling you to optimize your hydraulic system quickly. Configure your hydraulic control block now and find the ideal solution for your application.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Hydraulic Control Blocks
What exactly is a hydraulic control block and what role does it play in the system?
A hydraulic control block, also known as a valve block or hydraulic manifold, is a central component of hydraulic systems. Its primary function is to control, distribute, and regulate hydraulic oil by integrating multiple valves and channels into a compact metal block.
How does the hydraulic control block control actuator movements?
The control block directs the hydraulic fluid through integrated channels and valves to the actuators, such as hydraulic motors or cylinders. These include pressure control, flow control, and shut-off valves. By precisely opening and closing these valves, motion, speeds, and forces are controlled throughout the hydraulic system.
What materials are control blocks made of, and what determines the material selection?
Hydraulic control blocks are typically manufactured from aluminum, steel, or cast iron. The choice of material depends on:
- the required operating pressure
- the temperature range
- the hydraulic fluid’s media compatibility
What advantages do flow-optimized channels in control blocks offer?
Flow-optimized channels minimize pressure losses and thereby increase the system’s energy efficiency. In addition, the compact, integrated design reduces the number of hydraulic lines and potential leakage points, resulting in higher operational reliability.
In which fields are hydraulic control blocks typically used?
Hydraulic control blocks are used in a wide range of applications, especially in:
- mobile machinery (e.g., construction and agricultural equipment)
- industrial installations
- conveyor systems and production equipment
Control blocks are used wherever precise and space-saving control of hydraulic motion is required.
Does Hydromot offer standard or customized solutions for control blocks?
The Hydromot shop specializes in custom hydraulic control blocks. Working closely with customers, the experts develop tailor-made valve manifolds that ensure optimum performance and efficiency for both mobile and industrial applications.
What criteria should be used to select a suitable control block?
Selecting the appropriate control block is based on several criteria:
- Flow rate and pressure range
- Number and type of required valves
- Material requirements and environmental conditions
- Compatibility with valve standards (e.g., CETOP)
These factors ensure optimal integration and interchangeability within the hydraulic system.
