Hydraulic Valve Blocks, Boksburg

We supply and fit in all types of hydraulic valve blocks for all trucks . A hydraulic valve block, also known as a control valve or manifold, is a key component in a truck's hydraulic system. Its primary function is to control the flow and pressure of hydraulic fluid to various parts of the system.
Here is a breakdown of its functions on a truck:
Directing Fluid Flow: The valve block contains a series of valves and passages that direct the hydraulic fluid to specific actuators, such as cylinders or motors. This allows the operator to control different functions, like lifting a dump truck bed or operating a crane arm.
Controlling Pressure: The valve block includes relief valves that limit the maximum pressure in the system. This prevents damage to the hydraulic components by ensuring the pressure does not exceed a safe limit.
Regulating Speed: By controlling the rate at which fluid flows, the valve block can regulate the speed of movement of the hydraulic components. This allows for precise and smooth operation of the equipment.
Activating and Deactivating Functions: The valves within the block can be shifted to start, stop, or reverse the movement of a hydraulic cylinder or motor, giving the operator full command over the truck's hydraulic functions.
