Why Cetop Directional Control and Module Valves? Directional control valves are one of the most important elements of hydraulic and pneumatic machinery. Directional control valves allow fluid to flow into different paths from single or multiple sources. They are often made up of a spool inside a mechanically or electrically […]

Choosing Hydraulic Valves There are five main types of hydraulic valves that that Yuken Europe offer, all of which are Comité Européen des Transmissions Oléohydrauliques et Pneumatiques (CETOP) compliant. Hydraulic valves that are recognised by CETOP, the European fluid power committee, are interchangeable within most types of hydraulic equipment. Valves […]

The use of control valves in hydraulic systems Hydraulic power systems are increasingly popular in the worlds of industrial, mobile and aerospace equipment. This is because of the flexibility of hydraulic power systems, where they have a high power-to-weight ratio as well as being able to be stalled, intermittently operated […]

The importance of hydraulic relief valves A recent blog looked at some of the hydraulic valves offered by Yuken (Europe) all of which were CETOP valves (the interchangeable valves used in most hydraulic equipment today) but that blog focused mainly on directional control and flow control valves and their functions.  […]
