DMV directional control valve

Where to buy

A perfect solution for your application

The DMV directional control valve is a sectional mobile valve with direct acting electric solenoid control for spool position.  The DMV has a closed-center, parallel or series circuit design that can also function as an open-center circuit by utilizing unloading inlet options. Based upon the proven Vickers by Danfoss KDG4V-3 high performance valve design, the DMV valve enables you to configure a valve from a variety of modules to create the perfect solution for your application.

  • Function – Proportional or ON/OFF Directional control in mobile machinery

  • Pressure – Up to 300 BAR (4350 psi) service

  • Flow – Up to 60 LPM (15 gpm)

  • Sections – Up to 6 sections with inlet module and 12 with auxiliary modules.

Versatile, modular design

The Danfoss DMV valve offers versatility and flexibility through a sectional design, allowing the use of up to six sections (or twelve sections*) per bank assembly. You can configure the valve to create custom, multi-functional circuits through optional banking functions such as inlet and work port options. In addition, auxiliary manifold blocks can be included in the stack as circuit needs arise, and the valve sections can themselves be added to larger, more complex manifold blocks to provide directional control in larger systems.

* Depends upon intermediate module configurations

Configure your base with these building blocks:

  • Inlet modules
  • Intermediate spool section modules
  • End spool section modules
  • Section relief valve modules
  • Module cartridges
  • Different spool types
  • Multiple actuation types

Add any of these features to each section to create the perfect solution:

  • Service line relief valves
  • Load sensing check valves
  • Pilot operated check valves
