flow rate on this valve -- is 80 liters per minute the max it'll handle or just a typical rating?
Question by: Troy P on May 10, 2025, 4:19 PM
80 litres per minute is the rated flow for this valve. Running right at the rated ceiling on a continuous basis isn't usually recommended in hard-working hydraulic circuits, so if your system regularly pushes that number, it's worth accounting for pressure drop and heat buildup in your overall design. For most press and machine tool applications running below that threshold, you're in good shape with this unit.

got a line on what kind of valve this DG4V-3 is, like 3-way or 4-way?
