Wondering if this can handle continuous use in a hydraulic press setup?
Question by: Shawn M on Apr 4, 2026, 9:24 PM
Designed for demanding industrial hydraulic circuits, this two-stage directional control valve can handle the duty cycle demands of presses, along with die casting, machine tools, and other heavy applications.

flow rating on this valve is listed at 700 litres per minute -- is that enough for heavy press or primary metal work, or is it more suited to lighter duty circuits?
Question by: Shane L on Mar 22, 2026, 9:51 PM
For press and primary metal applications, 700 litres per minute is a serious flow capacity. That puts it well within range for demanding industrial circuits in those environments. The DG5V-8 series was built with exactly those kinds of applications in mind, so you're not pushing it into territory it wasn't meant for.
