Hydraquip is proud to partner with Wandfluh, a leader in hydraulic technology, to bring innovative solutions to industries that demand precision, reliability, and robust performance. Among Wandfluh’s most advanced offerings are their Proportional Pressure Relief Valves and Proportional Pressure Reducing Valves, particularly the M22x1.5 series. These components are essential in maintaining precise control within hydraulic systems, making them indispensable across a range of industrial and mobile applications.
What Are Proportional Pressure Relief and Reducing Valves?
In hydraulic systems, maintaining consistent and precise pressure is crucial. Proportional pressure relief valves are designed to regulate system pressure by releasing excess hydraulic fluid when pressure exceeds a predefined limit. Similarly, proportional pressure reducing valves ensure that pressure downstream of the valve remains within safe and optimal ranges.
Both valve types use advanced proportional solenoid technology to provide smooth and precise control, making them ideal for systems that require constant adjustments based on operational demands.
