i've got a Vickers DG4V3 valve on a press, is this the single stage directional control one and what kinda flow is it rated for
Question by: Brenda D on Oct 6, 2025, 1:24 PM
For press and other industrial hydraulic circuits, this is a Vickers by Eaton DG4V-3 60 design single stage directional control valve. The flow rate listed for this model is 80 litres per minute.

flow rate on this one -- is 80 liters per minute the max it'll handle, or is that more of a rated continuous figure?
Question by: Wayne S on Nov 22, 2025, 8:28 PM
Eighty liters per minute is the rated flow capacity for this valve. Running right at the ceiling of a rated spec for extended periods puts more wear on seals and internal components than staying a bit below it, so if your system regularly demands flow at or near that ceiling, it's worth factoring that into your maintenance intervals. The Buna-N seals are a solid general-purpose choice but they do have limits under sustained high-flow heat conditions.
