Walvoil Valves

Walvoil offer a wide selection of mobile directional control valves from Manual, Pneumatic, Hydraulic and Electro-Hydraulic proportional control, as well as customised solutions for the mobile markets. They include:

• SD5
• SD11
• SDS100
• DPX050/100/160
• DFE052
• SVM 100

SD5

The versatility of this valve makes it the perfect control device for many applications, including  Harvesting Machines, Brush cutter, Conveyors, Baling Machines, small Front Loaders and Truck Mounted Cranes. One‑section execution for circuits with carry‑over (SD5/1‑D) or without (SD5/1‑N) are available.

• Type "S" free flow gallery
• Single check valve
• Parallel, series and tandem circuit
• Manual, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic, electric and pneumatic controls
• Nominal Flow Rating l/min - (US gpm): 45 (12)
• Pressure bar - (psi): 315 (4600)
• Number of Sections: 7
• Pitch mm (in): 37 (1,46)

SD11

The SD11 valve is normally used on travelling and tilting vehicles, Conveyors, and in auxiliary services for Cranes, Waste Compactors and Vehicles Transporter. It’s available in one‑section execution for circuits where carry‑over and closed centre are not required (SD11/1‑N).

• Type "S" free flow gallery
• Single check valve
• Parallel and series circuit
• Manual, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and pneumatic controls.
• Nominal Flow Rating l/min - (US gpm): 70 (18)
• Pressure bar - (psi): up to 315 (4600)
• Number of Sections: 6
• Pitch mm (in): 45 (1,77)

SDS100

The SDS100 is mainly designed for Mini-Excavators and suited for different circuits with high technology, thanks to the compact size related to the flow, the proportional controls and the versatility.

• Type "Y" free flow gallery
• Check valve on each section
• Intermediate sections for several types of circuit
• Manual, pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic, on/off and proportional controls
• Last section works as outlet
• Nominal Flow Rating l/min - (US gpm): 45 (12)
• Pressure bar - (psi): 315 (4600)
• Number of Sections: 10
• Pitch mm (in): 36 (1,42)

DPX050/100/160

Full Flow Sharing Valve for a wide range of applications. Medium range directional valve of the DPX series and the most versatile and complete. Highly configurable and versatile for applications such as Mini-Excavators, Aerial platform, Truck Mounted Cranes, Telehandlers, Agricultural and Forestry machines.

• Valve model for high pressure applications (HP), inspheroidal graphite cast iron
• Valve configurations with high flow sections (HF)
• Special inlet sections designed for steering applications
• Inlet sections with or without by-pass valve
• Manual, hydraulic and proportional electro-hydraulic controls
• Optional spool position sensors
• Synergy with the Walvoil electronic systems range
• Nominal Flow Rating on working ports l/min - (US gpm): 90 (24) - 120 (32)
• Nominal Flow Rating l/min - (US gpm): > 120 (32)
• Pressure bar - (psi): up to 420 (6100)
• Number of Sections: 12
• Pitch mm (in): 36 (1,42)

DFE052

The DFE series flow diverters are used to connect several circuits by different way number configuration.

• Operational Type: Electric
• Ways n.: 2 - 3 - 6 – 8
• Pressure bar - (psi): Up to 315 (4600)
• Flow l/min - (US gpm): 60 (15,8)

SVM100

The SVM100 series is a single-function valve, that may be fitted with several styles of hand operated levers. This unit may be used as single valve or assembled into a bank of SVM100/n valves, where more than one valve spool needs to be controlled. SVM101 is the type with lower ports.

• Type: Lever type
• of Ports: From 2 to 20
• Nominal Flow Rating l/min - (US gpm): 20 (5,28)
• Pressure bar - (psi): 100 (1450)

Customised Valve Solutions

With an extensive stock holding we can offer off-the-shelf solutions or product modifications to suit your individual requirements.

Our Engineering Solutions Centre in Ludlow includes all the equipment and facilities available to customise Walvoil valves, as well as expertise from our Walvoil Techical Specialists who are on hand to assist with enquiries.

Common modifications for Walvoil Valves include changing control kits, changing relief valves and changing spools (to achieve different flow ratings), which will suit different purposes, depending on the industry or conditions.
