Hydraulic integrated circuit (HIC)

Danfoss ICS specializes in Hydraulic Integrated Circuits (HICs) allowing customers to use our broad portfolio of cartridge valves to create innovative solutions for optimal machine control and performance. A custom HIC offers unlimited flexibility for optimizing a solution for your specific machine - taking assembly, plumbing, wiring, service and weight distribution into consideration.

Features and benefits

HICs are compact packages that simplify machine plumbing, reducing costs for fittings, tubes, hoses, and installation

Connections between cartridges are made internal to the manifold, resulting in elimination of leak points

Components can be replaced without disturbing machine plumbing, dramatically reducing service time and costs

HICs can be centralized on a machine or strategically located near a function. Using a custom HIC provides the designer unlimited flexibility to optimize the design to meet the specific needs of the application

EasyManifold

A custom HIC can be specified and designed to meet your circuit requirements using our EasyManifold design tool.
EasyManifold allows you to:

Effortlessly create your hydraulic circuit schematic from Danfoss’s digital library of cartridge valves using a drag and drop interface
Automatically design small to medium sized HICs. At the click of a button, your project can be submitted and EasyManifold will generate a 2D drawing and 3D model. In less than an hour, you can take your project from a concept to a design ready for manufacturing.

From Schematic to 3D in one click

Fan drive HICs

Our hydraulic modulating fan drive system allows the machine designer to keep engine temperature in a narrow operating band. It also saves engine power and fuel for the majority of operating conditions. You can choose from 6 types of pre-engineered hydraulic integrated circuits (HICs) designed to provide speed control and reversing for hydraulic modulating fan drive motors in open circuit hydraulic fan drive systems.
