got a machine tool setup that needs a single-stage directional valve. is this DG4V-3 60 design the right kind of valve for that?

For machine tool hydraulics, this fits the bill as a Vickers DG4V-3 60 Design single-stage directional control valve. It is part of Eaton Vickers IV directional control valves and is meant for three-way or four-way directional control in systems like machine tools, presses, and test equipment.

flow rate on this thing is listed at 80 LPM -- is that enough for press and machine tool setups or is it usually on the low end for that kind of work?
Question by: Dwayne S on Jun 25, 2025, 5:13 PM
For most machine tool and press applications, 80 litres per minute is a solid working flow rate. It sits right in the range where single-stage directional control valves like this one get used regularly in those environments. The DG4V-3 series is specifically called out for press and machine tool use, so 80 LPM fits well within what those systems typically demand at this valve stage.
