Motion control valves

Motion control valves are crucial components in hydraulic circuits designed to give static and dynamic control of loads. With multiple design types-available, Danfoss has the product available to ensure stable control of your load. In even the toughest applications where the machine framework introduces instability (telehandler, cranes, concrete pump trucks, etc) , we have a solution that will ensure safety, stability, and efficient operation of your hydraulic system.

Danfoss motion control valves are a critical piece of ensuring safety in your hydraulic system. Some benefits of our motion control valves include:

• Preventing load runaway: Help prevent sudden and uncontrolled movements of loads, which could pose a safety hazard to operators or damage equipment.
• Protecting against hose breaks: By controlling fluid flow during load reversal, our valves can help prevent pressure spikes that can damage components in the hydraulic system. If directly mounted to the actuator, they also prevent against uncontrolled motion in the case of a hose break.
• Load-holding capability: Motion control valves can hold a load in position, even when the hydraulic system is turned off or the power source is disconnected, enhancing safety during maintenance or in the event of system failures.

Motion control valves are primarily designed to control the flow of hydraulic fluid in one direction while allowing it to move freely in the opposite direction when certain conditions are met. This function is essential for maintaining load control, preventing unintended motion, and ensuring safe and stable operation.
