Faster response time
Slip-in cartridge valves excel in high-flow systems. Engineered to meet the demands of a new generation of hydraulic-operated machinery, Vickers by Danfoss valves enable the creation of faster, more efficient and compact hydraulic systems.
Slip-in cartridge valves are designed to reduce internal leakage and prevent external leaks entirely. You can customize a valve without any piping at all, for completely leak-free operation and increased reliability.
- Size – NG16 to NG160 (Sizes vary by model)
- Pressure – Up to 420 bar (6,090 psi)
- Flow – Up to 18,500 L/min
High-performance high-flow machines
Slip-in cartridge valves can enhance the performance of your machine through:
- Improved control of load-holding
- Lower pressure drops with less heat generation, providing greater machine efficiency
- Faster response time, enabling faster machine cycling for greater productivity
- Each cartridge can be tuned to reduce system shock, resulting in smoother machine operation
- Cartridges can be easily serviced without disturbing system piping, increasing machine uptime

Cost-saving design
- Each cartridge can be sized for the actual flow encountered, optimizing component size and cost
- Multi-function cartridges reduce the number of valving components required, resulting in lower machine costs
- Installation is easier and faster, reducing assembly costs
- Simple serviceability reduces maintenance time and costs
Is a slip-in cartridge valve right for you?
Cartridge valves are generally a good fit for systems that have:
- Flow rates exceeding 150 L/min (40 gal/min) and working pressure above 210 bar (3,000 psi)
- Small envelope style
- Complex circuitry
- Fast response
- Low internal leakage
- Good stability
- Low noise level
