Danfoss Power Solutions has added two high-flow proportional valves to its PVG portfolio, expanding its range of low to high-flow capabilities for OEM customers with demanding applications. The PVG 128 and PVG 256 valves are designed to easily integrate with the existing line of Danfoss high performance proportional valves — PVG 16 and PVG 32 — allowing modularity from low to high hydraulic flow within the same valve stack.

These high-flow valves are ideal for use on demanding applications such as drilling machines, etc. where flow and durability is essential. Using the PVG 128 and PVG 256 together with other valves in the PVG family allows OEMs to easily enhance machine performance while improving productivity and lowering energy consumption.

“We designed the PVG 128 and PVG 256 valves to offer as much value as possible to our off-highway OEM customers. They can use these valves to achieve the high flow necessary for their demanding applications, but can combine them with the PVG 32 and PVG 16 for lower flow functions in their machines as well,” said Knud Meldgaard Jensen, Global Product Marketing Manager for Danfoss Power Solutions.

“By keeping the same design concept as the PVG 32 and PVG 16 valves, our customers can easily add and combine the PVG 128 and 256 valves into their custom design,” Meldgaard continued. “The valve modularity ensures OEMs can easily optimize their machine using the entire PVG valve range — saving on space, weight and costs.”

The addition of the high-flow valves extends the range of hydraulic flow within the PVG series up to 300 litres per minute with the PVG 128 and up to 400 litres per minute with the PVG 256. A special turbo version of the PVG 256 valve is also available, increasing the hydraulic flow up to 500 litres per minute.
